Title: where to start
Post by: Mike71 on April 03, 2004, 07:14:18 AM

ok i have a 91 tracker 4wd 5 spd 2 door soft top

bone stock..totaly  :o

so i was wondering if i should start with the BL from calmini or the sus lift??

what i want to do is do one either the BL or the sus lift then buy new tires..but i want the new tires to be usable with both the bl and sus lift..so which lift would allow me to run big enough tires that when i went with the other lift they wouldnt look stupid??

also this will be my first major car project..so should i do the BL to get some practice before the sus..or could i muddle through a sus lift?

thanks for any input if somehting i said didnt make sense lemme know and ill try to clarify

A FRIEND OF MINE & I PUT THE CALMINI 6" COMBO LIFT ON MY 95 4 DOOR KICK.(ME NEVER DONE ANY LIFTING ,FRIEND DOES BUT NEVER TO A ZUKE )  WE FOUND PUTTING THE BODY LIFT TO BE MORE OF A PAIN IN THE A$$ FOR SOME REASON. THE SUSPENSION WENT WELL JUST TOOK A WHILE , LOTS OF UNWILLING BOLTS TO COME OUT . BUT WITH A SMOKE WRENCH, BFH, AND A SAWZALL WE GOT IT DONE. DEPENDING ON WHERE YOU LIVE RUST MAY NOT BE A PROBLEM.  AS FOR DOING ONE OR THE OTHER, I'D CHOOSE THE SUSP. LIFT 1ST IF MONEY ALLOWS. ARE YOU WILLING TO DO SOME SHEETMETAL WORK  ??? IF SO YOU COULD POSSABLY GET 31'S ON & WOULD LOOK OK WHEN YOU ADD THE BODY LIFT. I HAD 32'S THEY RUBBED , JUST PUT 31'S ON NO RUB AND LOOKS GOOD TO  ME  . ( NO SHEETMETEL WORK ON MINE ) AS FOR DOING IT YOURSELF DEPENDS ON TOOLS AVAILABLE &  HOW COMFORTABLE YOU ARE AT TAKING APART YOUR WHOLE SUSP. AND PUTTING BACK IN .  THE BODY LIFT IS CHEAPER & PROBABLY EASIER ...EITHER WAY HAVE A BACK UP CAR TO DRIVE FOR A FEW DAYS IF ITS YOUR D.D.  THATS MY 2 CENTS ......GOOD LUCK  ;)  MATTY D.  ;D
