Nice how do you like your calmini lift?
Did it give u 2.5or less of lift?
-
Well lift kit I'm once agin looking into :( as after a put the bd lift on got some numbers off a friends stock xl-7 and I'm only sitting 4" hight ( 2" bd + 4" of tire/2 = 4" So something not right
But I've been tied up at work so I have realy had a chance to look in to it.

Rember stock tires are 27" and if u put a 31" tires its only gonna raise ur truck 2"
over all hieght of the tire is 30" ur center is 15" on a 26" tire over all center is 13"
So 2" body lift and the 4" bigger tires should be only 4" over stock

Right, but he's got a 2,5" Calmini suspension lift, so it should be 2+4/2+2.5=6.5" lift. So if blacknight is only getting 4" there is a problem with the suspension lift right? ;)
-
Thats what i heard calmini lifts 1" lift.

Any comments for the 2" bl? I think I need those inches.....seen my pics of the kickpanels from the melt?
Any pics of the install?
-
Blacknight, I didn't realize you were running that much lift at Gonzookin. You should have looked taller than my silver Tracker! There's something up with that suspension lift...

Good it's not just me. I think that I'm just going to get some spring spacers and fix it that way.

I just used nomaad's write up it wasn't too bad. The only thing that I realy had issues with was the steering and getting it off the zuk.

Hey question
How did the body lift feel like does the truck feel top heavy or does it handle worse??? Like whats the main differnce u noticed
-
The ride is about the same just higher ;D It feels just a little bit more top heavy but than agian it a race car either ;) but I still push it and feel safe.

Ok so it looks like a spacer lift and the body lift and you can run a 245/75-16 tire? Seeing as the Calmini lift doesn't offer much more than a spacer lift.

Well seeing that me Calmini is netting about 0 lift and I was running 245/75/16 before the 2"BD lift with only some minor rubbing. I would say that just 2" BD lift and you would be good or some spring spacers.

-
Yeah ive heard nothing but bad things about the calmini lift.
-
I can't say that it's all bad their kit dose give more flex and it also helps with front cv angles. I'm going to give them one anther try to get this fixed. If not I will just get some spacers.
George
-
Flex is always a good thing, but I don't even think it's fair to call it a "lift" if it doesn't actually lift the vehicle any...
-
It did at frist :P >:(

You mean it did lift it at first, and then the springs settled? Hmmm... When you installed it, did you compare the new and old springs? If the new ones were taller, maybe they just need to be a higher rate...

I've already gotten a replacement set of front springs from Calimin with a higher rate and they have settled too. This was just before Gonzookin. I just think it's the weight of the Xl-7 or poor springs?
Anyways I was thinking about going back to my first set of springs as the "new" ones ride very hard and just useing spacers.
