It belongs to the Calimini stabilizer and Truss kit. ftp://http://www.puresuzuki.com/stabilizer_&_truss.htm
It looks like they redesigned it. The one I have and the one in the picture is more like a "U" channel.
Anyways, you need it if you want to run the Calimini front skid plates ftp://http://www.puresuzuki.com/front_skid.htm

Ya Lil truck is right.
They redesigned the truss so its one piece of cannel that slips over your front control arm brackets. There’s a flange that hangs off the back to attach the steering stabilizer to.

Look at that coil. It's not sitting straight up/down. It's base is not in alignment in static load. Down travel effects it more, whereas compression aligns it up.
Wouldn't this place a lot of stress thus fatigue to the coil? This could be the problem with the coil 'settling'.
BTW, the finish of the control arms looks like it's a bed liner or is that the ice?

I think the coil is just like that because I just put the kit in and they haven't settled yet. If you look at mine next to my friend who is running the same lift, his coils have settled and his control arms sit where they are suppose to.

Nah its just ice.  It snowed about 10cm over night up here, and I took the pleasure of driving around and laughing at all the peeps who couldn't get their cars out of their driveways  :P

Not much more for me to add as it is the additional truss bar. ::)

Yup I was suprised when I pulled it out of the box, cuz I was expecting the one on the webpage too.
Its the same system, I guess this is just a simpler/stronger design (all one piece, no welds)
I think Calmini should update their webpage, cuz a lot of their products have changed from what the pictures show.

Kreg,
Looks nice, you'll have to post more pics. How do you like the kit, I love mine. I'm also glad it snowed last night too, as I was out late last night playing with my tracker ;D
-
I'm loving it.
I took it wheeling up in the mountains by my house (Shawnigan Lake) and it handled pretty good.
I'm going back up there tomorrow, and I plan on taking a lot of pics.
Heres a few more of the trackick in the snow. They didnt turn out too good cuz it was getting dark.

Hey Agent Orange. You should come out to the island one weekend and come up for a run. Besides Mac and myself, I've found a few more peeps who are running lifted kicks. We can do a Trackick only trip.

Sounds good, I'd like to do a tracker/sidekick adventure. These rigs are just starting popular here with moders.
