Calmini on a Sport?
« on: September 24, 2004, 12:15:01 PM »
Hey guys, will the Calmini 3 in. suspension and 3 in. body lift work on a '97 Sidekick Sport?

Thanks

Rumor has it that the Sport frame is wider and the Suspinion kit won't work with out a little (modifacation)help.
But THats what I might have heard. ;)

Have a look at www.angelfire.com/trek/4x4gravel/.It very difficult to fit a tyre larger than 30" to this model so I'm not sure a 3"bodylift is worthwhile.

That's one of the reasons for my XL7 (which is suppose to have bigger wheelwells) I went for the 225/75-16's for now. They'll fit with no mods to the wheelwell, but I figure the next set will be either 245(~31's) or 265/75's (~32").

 ;DI have a '98 Sport and put the spring spacers (1.5") with longer rear shocks and strut spacers and am running 265x16 on stock wheels.   I don't have a body lift.  Ã‚ I only rub against the frame in the front at full turn and alittle in the rear which could easily be changed with different bolts for the rear bumper cover.  I will be making new bumpers so it isn't a big deal.   :D
