The control arms do not look like calmini,and the shocks and struts don't either.Clamini's 3"
kit comes with rear trailing arms andtop pivot mount for the rear end.

i know that some of the kit is missing and trying to be found at the moment.  Yes, there is a 2" body lift in the box.  So the arms look like 2" or 3" ones?

Thay look like Calmini arms, the shocks and struts may not be the Calmini supplied ones but it looks like its had some use.  The struts have the mounts flipped and you can see the insert that is supplied with the 2" kit to go between the strut mount and the stut tower. I can't see any diff drop brackets though.

It's an older Calmini 2" kit, the stabilizer is the older round tube style that was included with the kit, not separate. The black springs are stock front springs as their 2" lift is built into the control arms and use stock springs. And as was mentioned, no rear control arms, just springs.

Actually, they do not.  Both arms are different.  They look "similar" to the untrained eye, but they are most certainly not the same arm.

That is most definitely a Calmini 2" lift kit. The arms are shorter width wise than the 3" kit.
Go to Calmini's site and take a real close look and you will see what I mean.

To my 'untrained eye' they look pretty much the same
