Ok so it looks like a spacer lift and the body lift and you can run a 245/75-16 tire? Seeing as the Calmini lift doesn't offer much more than a spacer lift.
Well seeing that me Calmini is netting about 0 lift and I was running 245/75/16 before the 2"BD lift with only some minor rubbing.  I would say that just 2" BD lift and you would be good or some spring spacers.

I can't say that it's all bad their kit dose give more flex and it also helps with front cv angles.  I'm going to give them one anther try to get this fixed.  If not I will just get some spacers.

Flex is always a good thing, but I don't even think it's fair to call it a "lift" if it doesn't actually lift the vehicle any...

You mean it did lift it at first, and then the springs settled? Hmmm... When you installed it, did you compare the new and old springs? If the new ones were taller, maybe they just need to be a higher rate...

I've already gotten a replacement set of front springs from Calimin with a higher rate and they have settled too. This was just before Gonzookin. I just think it's the weight of the Xl-7 or poor springs?
Anyways I was thinking about going back to my first set of springs as the "new" ones ride very hard and just useing spacers.
