My kick is still IFS and on  35" boggers.  As long as you don't mind trimming a little, go with the Calmini 6" combo and see what else you need.  I have a complex that made me have to add the 1" spring spacers on top of the lift.

How are the minimum lift do you need to run 35" tires?

Fender's trimming are not a problem.

Rick with Hawk Strictly Suzuki was running 35 inch Claws on 8 inch wheels. The lift was 6" CALMINI combo with minor front bumper trimming, fender trim and a little rear trimming. All in all the trimming was very minimal. In fact, hard to tell it was done unless you knew what to look for. The car is a two door hard top with front and rear Calmini bumpers (relatively heavy).

Yea Hawks car did look nice with 35s. However he did break a rear axle.  :-/ Not that it is the end of the world to break an axle but its something to keep in mind. Also the power loss from a 33 to a 35 is quite large. Im not trying to talk you out of it ... just trying to make sure your aware of the downsides to 35s.

I did to several mods to my rig but most of them were wants, Not needs.

To agree with Mike, I also broke a rear axle.  Locking the front would help alot.
