A stock Tracker has the balljoint conects to the spindle like in the picture.

The control arm (A arm), the ball joint is in the middle between two pieces of sheet metel.

Isn't that representing the ball joint to be on top?

What? Sheetmetal? I think you mean the flat plate.

The ball joint is the ball/socket item secured to the lower control arm via the 3 bolts. The nut securing the ball joint to the knuckle is under the knuckle. I was referring to this setup for the -7.

However, after reviewing the first initial picture and the one in your message, there is a difference to where the ball joint is secured to the lower control arm. In the first pic (front end picture of grille and suspenion), you can clearly see the ball joint assembly (grey in color) bolted below the control arm plate. In your picture, the ball joint assembly is secured above the plate.
With the bj assembly bolted below the control arm plate, I see that how provides a slight lift.

In the picture, the ball joint is in the stock placement where it attaches to the "knuckle/spindle" on a Tracker.

On a stock control arm the ball joint is "in the middle between two pieces of sheet metel".  The stock lower is stamped sheet metal.

With the Calimini lift the ball joint with it's 3 bolts are ment to be on top of the control arm.

Mine is now under the control are and it gives me around an inch lift.  I did this only when my front end was saging and I was losing my camber.  Remember I also run the Calimini bumper and a 8000# winch.

I mounted the 32x9.5 R15's today on a nice set of wheels and will post a photo of them when everything is completed. My wife saw the wheels and tires plus the suspension lift and blew a mental gasket when I told her that I still have the body lift to do. She say's ever since the town built the sidewalk too close to her a** she'll need a step ladder to get in it.  ;D  ;D  ;D  ;) I aim to please the Zuki 4X4 gods with major lift. Now all I need is the bumpers to come in and the anvil; everything else is here.

Soon I shall have alot of invested in a nice truck.  ;D

I plan on having this finished and on the road by August for a major off road event taking place in Lajitas, Texas and in and around Big Bend National Park. Booked my reservations got my tent and pack gear ready, while we're there we'll be doing some white water rafting and roughing it not like the site flash player say's. http://www.Lajitas.com  8)
