Calmini - $*%#ۥ~ TOOLS!

Post by Jordi » Wed Feb 24, 2010 8:17 pm

Contacted calmini for the 3" lift instock u can have it with in 3weeks. Long story short when they took the order and i paid it was out of stock and still is!

Sooooo.... Im thinking seen as i have no rear to my sammy i may jst chop the front arches out and not bother lifting it. saves me messing on and is a damn sight cheaper.

Seen as only llama 4x4 can do me a full lift kit and there a bit steep.

If i chop the arches i may use the lift kit cash to go to 33s and put a rocklobster in it.

Your thoughts please

you can have your springs re-tempared to whatever height you want them,, about £50 pair. (midland road springs).

you will need to do some major work to the front arches and bulkhead to fit 33s with no lift, i have 2" lift and still had to cut out loads, only for it to still catch occasionally! :evil: you could go tube front?

you could do what ive done,,, rears up front (that moves the front axle foward about 1 1/2") you can then chop out the arches and fit landy arches..

First things first get my refund without getting stiffed on the exchange rate.

I already have 31s and to beef her up and stop them fouling on full lock im getting sum 35mm spacers. So with out a lift she shud be fairly hard to roll as the rims are already off set. Im gona modify her to fit the 31s without a lift and see how we go.

Just gotta get sum garage time now. Im home now. Back at work at 0400 and shud be home by monday. Whoo hooo.
