How are the calmini body lifts? Lots of people have them, so I know some of you know if they have those same problems or not.

ok, so if i get the square tubing, i would need to get like a 2x3 wouldn't I? and cut each piece 3 inches long?  and about how much would i save by doing a home-made BL?  I guess i could get someone with the right kind of saw to cut the blocks up... and if someone has a good table saw that cuts metal, they SHOULD have a good drill press, right?  also, how wide are the blocks from RRO and sky?  just for comparison reasons..... that should about do it for now, as far as questions go..  ...................wait a minute... i was just doing some figuring, and realized that the 2.5" lift (with the coil spacers) is actually cheaper than the pure OME 1.5"....    2.5" = $649..... 1.5 = $667... unless its a typo          i wonder if anyone else had noticed that

I don't think anyone with a suzuki has had a body lift that cause them major problems like ripping mounts or stuff like that. 

I think maybe this stems from the pics that were posted of a Track/Kick that had taken a knock and the mounts had all pulled out or twisted.

I was planning on going with the Calmini 3" lift, is that one any good?


Unless you are planning on adding bumpers and other add ons I would go with the Calmini 2 inch kit. Iff you need more height add a body lift. The 3 inch will ride stiff and closer to 4= inches with out the extra gear.

We recently installed and just reviewed the Rocky Road Rock Steady kit. Look for it on the home page!
