hey guy's just, looking into lifting my zuc.. it's a 91  4dr.. just wonder on your experiene with calmini's  3'' ,, any probs like blowing cv''s stuff like that,,,, i want to run factory drive line for now.. but you know what they say "'go big or go home'' 

                                                                             thanks  dwayne

Calmini's 3" suspension lift or body lift?

both

mostly on the suspension stuff,,

Lots of people run the 3+3 lift with no problems at all. Whether or not you have driveline problems will depend more on what size tires you plan to run and what kind of driving you do. Lots of serious offroading with huge tires=driveline failures...

You Said it Brother "Go Big or GO HOME"
     I've ran just the Calmini Suspension lift for some time now and have really had no major problems. I've stressed thing pretty hard and have ruined my front R&P and locker once. But that was due to extended abuse and no mantaince.  As far as the CV angles it's about as extream as you'll want to take the TracKick CV shafts. Mine have held up really well with 4 tore boots for nearly a year now (I'm just waiting for them to go).
    Some one on this board also basicly said that your stock running gear will handle a 33's tire with out some well provoked breakage.  But like Digger said, Huge Tires adn Serious Off Roading = driveline failure.  So it's how you use it and how big you go.

What kind of maintenance didn't you do?

I have the 3+3 kit in my '91 4 door. The suspension is def. stiffer than stock. I need to get out wheelin the flex and break in the front a bit.

I would do a 2" body lift though. the 3" Calmini was quite involved and I don't like the look of the alum block with 2" square tube below it. they powder coat all the suspension parts but leave the body lift stuff bare steel?

If you don't want a heavy front bumper and winch on your ride then steer clear of the calmini kit it will ride way too rough.
