Calmini Lift
« on: July 26, 2008, 06:14:11 AM »
I just purchased a 3in suspension lift from calmini, i guess i should have asked questions first? Anyone have any experience with this lift? I noticed it does not come with new U bolts. ??

It's stiffer than other spring lifts, and the springs will wear faster. Why would it come with U-Bolts - doesn't your truck come with some?

I'm pretty sure the Calmini Kit re-uses your u-bolts.

you know if you call them they would give you the answer you seek.
i bought the complete shackle reverse 5" kit it came with new ones
did you buy 3" or 3" heavy duty could be the difference

The manufacturer will know their product better than I will. So should the vendor if you got it through someone other than Calmini.

I think the kit uses the stock u bolts.   Lift kits with blocks instead of springs use longer ones.

I took my best guess, and directed you to the best place to get a better answer. Not sure the sarcasm and snotty attitude make me feel warm and fuzzy about being helpful again in the future.
