Looks good, I'm doing the same to my rear links, actually decided to just build some. BTW, that's some serious angle on your front cv's, can't imagine you have much if any front droop.

I run the calmini 6" kit and i cant stand how stiff it is my fronts are bound up all the time my wheels are back spaced 2.5" and i have the heavy duty calmini front bumper. im not sure what to try i would like a much softer spring but im afraid it will just compress completly, i also plan to add a winch. right now its so stiff if i hit a speed bump i take the risk of shattering my tail bone and compressing my vertabreas :laugh:

Hey Lost, my springs were stiff too but after awhile they gave up the ghost. Try and cycle them completely a few times.

Yeah, My Calmini's  ( all 3 sets!) started out stiff, softened up nicely after awhile, gave a good ride and ride height for about 6 months, then began to sag and droop. I keep haaveing to add larger spacers to compensate. Like to foin out where you got those heavy duty coils ppltrak. Thanks.

The ones I got were from a company in Las Vegas called FOA shocks. They make race and crawler shocks I just used there 3" ID coils. Just do a search for 3" coils there are more and more company's building them these days.

  Kevin

   PS they are for coil over shocks

Are you sure? I mean, they don't 'look' dual rate...
