Well, I got it on. Once the weight was on it all came into line. I do have 2 parts I did not see mentioned in the instructions though. One flat steel piece about 6" long with a slight kick in it. Then a steel tube about 10" long. Do you happen to know where these go? Also has was the alignment after?

Got any pics of the install and final install? Any specific measurements from stock to lift comparison with same tires?

Well, I had this huge plan to take pics of every item going in as the instructions only had about 6 images. To me for a non-front end guy, some of it was a little hard to follow. There are a couple of sequence that are out of order as well. I am planning on taking pics though when I go back in this weekend to re-torque everything. I will post them then.
At this point it doesn't seem any taller to me. I had the RR coil spacers on beforehand and had put the EZ cam bolt in the strut tower. Well I am assuming the longer control arms are a fix for the camber problem and the strut is now needing that standard bolt back. So, needless to say, the camber is way out and low riding. I am taking it in to get the camber and the toe done today, as well as straighting the tie rods so the steering wheel sits straight. I should have counted the turns or something. Anwho, all in all, a weekend of fun and tool buying. I will post some pics later. I still need to figure out where there other 2 parts should go.

ive got the calmini 2.5 lift and while going through the parts i found a 10 inch brake line extension.  perhaps these made it to the boxes by mistake. however can some one clarify what calmini means by the strut tower modification of grinding 1/8 inch inward toward the center. is the hole supposed to be notched? im planning on installing the kit this weekend.

If you have an xl-7 the flat pice is for the GV but the steel tube you got me on that one. A pic would help.

Alright guys, talked to Steve at Clamini. Found out that the tubing is a brake line extension for the rear line. And flat steel piece is for XL's and GV's that have rear load sensing or something like that??? Can't remember exactly, but I don't need it . . .
I will probably wait til this weekend to put on the brake line when I am checking out the nuts and bolts of the install.
Thanks guys for ALL the help!! I got the truck back front alignment shop and it looks awesome. Even with the 235/70/16s it still has a much better stance than with just the spacers. I am pleased . . .
