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).
i woulnt bother with a lift, keep c of g low as poss, as with spoa if the trucks to high they fall over more??.

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.
