::)
Use the search button, dig into the suspension threads, look at the pictures, read the problems and solutions, go to the Article Archive and read the technical threads regarding suspension, come back with specific questions.
By the way... 3" suspension for what?

Sure you can make your own lift.
Heck, you can make your own entire suspension system if you're creative enough.
Lots of people on here have posted lots of great ideas of all sorts to take a stock vehicle higher in the air, usually to fit larger tires or to get more ground clearance.
What kind of vehicle do you have? Is it front wheel drive or rear wheel drive? Is it 2wd or 4wd? Do you drive an Arieo, Forenza, or a Sammy, for example?
There are lots of things you can do to lift something.
Give us some more info and we'd love to help you out.

I have a 91 suzuki sidekick 4x4

I need to know the specs for the control arms, front axle drop brackets, strut spacers, extended rear trailing arms, rear V-Bar. Every thing to make my own home made calmini kit pretty much
-
your not going to find that info anywhere! The best you can do is use some different coils or coil spacers and figure the rest out yourself.
By the time you finish building all the calmini components it would have been cheaper just to buy it from them.

unless he owns a machine shop ;)

as long as we get tht steel then you can build a 20 inch lift faggot ;D ;D

Whoa! Eventhough Trizacker's initial question is definitely noob-esque. This type of reply is not acceptable.

what forum do call home. that is not a good response for this one we try to help not piss people off. many of us have differrent ideas on how do things that is why i like this forum so much.
to ur question by the time u put in all the time on fab work and the expense on steel and welding rods u could hve bought the calmini kit and a set of tires and been wheeling for a couple of weeks. save up the money and get the calmini kit or go a little more conservitive with some spacers, a body lift, and a set of 31's and learn what a tracker can do on 31s that a jeep can't on 35s. WELCOME to the world of doing more with less. oh lock the rear and it will go anywher until u get stuck :).

Well I have a full machine shop at work and a garage at home equipped with lathe,chop saw, MIG welders etc etc and I'd say it's still not worth my time and effort to sit down and build my own from scratch !
If you had a kit to copy (BTW which I'd never do !) it would be a piece of p!ss to do but starting from nothing and getting to right the first time - Yeah right !!
Buy the Calmini kit and save ya $$$ and time experimenting.
-
Here is an inexpensive way of doing it.
Thank you Heather!

Do a search and look at what Wildgoody has done for a 3" suspension lift. Cheap and effective and you could do it quick and be out wheeling.

Building suspension components can be life threatening if it is not built just right. If you plan on streeting this I would buy a kit.

Thats 100% right, when I built my explorer I needed to totally reengineer the front end being that it had rack steering and torsion bar suspension, and went to a box steering set up with leafs, it took awhile to get it all right AND STREET SAFE being that noone did it b4 me I had no guidence. I did get it to drive 100% even over a tested 110mph speed, If someone had made a kit for this I would have bought it 10 times over because it took so much and alot of cash to get it right.

Same here I'm still trying to work all the bugs out of the Real Red Wagons Motherlode 6" suspension lift :P. It performed very well at Zuwharrie ;D but friday while I was climbing Dickey Bell I snaped the spacer for the third link on the rear axle >:( we limped it back to camp and welded it back together with some reinforcements and finished out the weekend very well but thats now the third piece we've made for the rear axle and if we didn't have acssess to a welder at camp my weekend would have been over :'(
