azrocktrash,

A friend of your's had a Calmini lift with alignment problems?

The OME lift does nothing to address alignment problems.  At least Calmini makes the control arms longer to take care of camber.

May I ask what type of problems your friend was having?

It's possible that he had the same problem with the Calmini lift that ProjectTwin did, in that you have to do an alignment yourself if you want to drive it to the alignment shop... :-/

Calmini lifts would seem to have less alignment issues than RRO lifts, since the ones RRO sells use spacers that screw up the camber...

1st call it "a strange shade of purple"

2nd body lifts not so bad on cornering since all the heavy stuff like motor, tranny and axles didn't move up, only the light stuff like the body work did.

RRO uses springs and spacers...and yes your camber will be out unless you use camber bolts to correct. My camber bolts are set to max offset and the camber is bang on spec. I believe that the Calmini kit is the better system in regards to toughness and flex...possibly ride...But in my case I think the RRO lift will work out the best for me. If I was to build a rig that was more oriented to off-road I would definitely go with the Calmini 3+3 with many of the Hagen mods :)

My alignment was waaaaaaaaaay out. I did an alignment, and they drove it in the shop put it on the rack and said they coudln't do any better than it was. So I guess the old tape measure thing works lol

az,

sorry your friend had a bad time with his lift.  I'm glad he likes his OME lift.  

mytrackerispink,

build it how you want it and have fun!

I think GM calls the color magenta.  ;D

Here is a picture of my tracker before we did an alignment, You can see how bad it was. That was with the wheel straight and both wheels looked like that.....

When you said pink, I thought you meant Barbie truck pink. (Isn't that color called Cranberry?)
