Post by: Speedracer7c on June 13, 2004, 12:23:28 AM

Yeah its the 3 inch body, with heathers old clamini 2inch, modded to 3 inch. Needless to say, this thing is way cooler than I ever imagined. I'm soooo pumped. Although I was less than impressed with the body lift.

I gave him some pointers on eyeballing an alignment... we'll see how it goes!

Use a long straight edge and place it along your rear tire and up to your front tire.

It should give you a good indication on how far you’re out.

Also measure between the two front tires and make the front SLIGHTLY tow-in because when your traveling at a higher speed the force of the road against the tires pushes them out a bit, so you have to compensate.

wait a minute, i have one question to ask. did you just get the caklmini control arms? because the rest of your stuff just seems to be stock front springs, and so on. the rear had rancho 5000, and calmini springs correct?

Title: Re: Build weekend
Post by: Speedracer7c on June 13, 2004, 04:05:40 PM

the 2 inch calmini kit doesn't come with new front coils. I bought it used off heather and had to re use the stock front shocks. The rear is calmini springs rancho rs5000 shocks and coilspacers off a tj. The front is some springs heather got that were longer than stock. So its the complete calmini 2 inch kit minus the shocks.
