does anybody know the extended and compressed lengths of the rear shocks on the 3" sus. lift, also does any body have the link to the article on how to over rotate your rear end? i cant seem to find it.

my front end sits leaning to the drivers side alot, i have just installed the 3 incher, any body ever hear of this or know what the prob might be?

thanks.      shane

Did you make sure the tapered ends of the coils are facing the same (up). Did you  over tighten the control arm mounting bolts, binding up the suspension where it does not travel smoothly?

I had to remove the rubber dampeners on the front spring cones  and trim the inside of the rubbers down to allow the spring to slip completely over it and settle properly as mine was hanging up and sitting cock eyed too. Remember being a 1/4" out on the spring can make huge difference to how it sits.

The springs on mine were a little disappointing compared to the quality of  all the other Calmini components, they had slag around the top where they were gas cut before being wound which  made them also binded up on the spring cones. I had too grind the ends and clean them up which is not a big deal but it annoys me that the spring maker would send them out like that.

hey thanks this weekend im going to take an inspection and try to see whats wrong. the drivers side (the one that sits lower) moves really well (i jumped on the front bumper)but the pass side is a little more stiff, so maybe i over tightned ::) well thanks again, still gotta do some more tweaking before "spring" is here
