mine still rub ever so slightly in the rear with 2and a bit inches of lift, at the front of the wheel well, i haven't extended my bumpstops, have you?  i also have the body lift.. so just over 4 inches.  seems to only touch the plastic of the fender flare and not quite the sheet metal.

I need something for time being, so likely I'll get the extra coil spacers installed w/ Neil later this week and try to roll/cut more fenders from both the front and rear jams

Then the 2" BL from RRO

I just spoke to Zukination (the zuki specialist here in Calgary) and this is his new lift proposal:

4" longer coils all round
4" longer shocks all round
Instead of struts, install far stronger double control arm (plus easier to source quality shocks)
Diff drop brackets w/ new Control Arms which will pull the front wheels further from the body
Drive shaft extenders
To replace the upper link and lower trailling arm w/ Johnny joints to adjust the pinion (diff) angle

The control arm will use a free floating style (seat)  where the front coil can move freely and will then be bind free

but in the meanwhile.. I think i'm looking at your route there BZZR2

If you guys are looking for xl-7 springs I know someone who has them to sell.  If you want them get in touch with aftermarket4x4

I called up my local zuki parts dealer, and they said:

they cannot confirm whether they are taller, they think it's only progressively stiffer

thanks, maybe he can measure them for us and we'll know, r3cc0s - you mentioned you hoped to get that extra spacer installed, maybe you could measure your stock spring height when you have it out?  then we'll know exactly what we are looking at!

thanks blacknight.

here's a pic I posted in the XL-7 area.  These are Calmini springs and XL-7 springs
George

ok, which lift are those calmini springs from?  thanks.

I am really really hoping an extra inch or two of lift will clear this issue up for me

some shots I just took





ooh the rubbage


There is no way in hell I can run any spacers in the rear

At least your wheels look good

I have to agree with you 

true! 

hopefully you'll get a chance to measure that spring soon so we can either pick up some xl7's or go with the next choice...

have you extended the rear bumpstops yet?  i was thinking of simply adding a chunk of rubber about an inch thick on the bottom of the spring area so the upper bumpstop which seems like more work to extend simply hits this to stop the compression..

Calmini only has one set of springs for the GV's and the XL-7s as far as I know.

hhmm, i guess i'm trying to understand how they are the so close to the same in height if the calmini's are supposed to provide lift, thanks.

Its all about spring rates 

so i guess the lift comes at the expense of a harder ride?
