After some very long hours I finally have enough left over to get my lift kit, and few extra toys. Also I have about 3 days off this week!

I live pretty close to Calmini (1-hour drive time)
and I was going to drive down this coming Tueday.

I was going to pikc up the 3+3 KIT, as it seems to be the best deal for the money.

Is there anything else that I should pick up?

The car is just sitting at the moment...it needs new tires and bumpers.

Calmini was suggesting there sway bars?

Also when I try to install this should I do body or suspension first.


*My first time ever trying to install a lift...but it looks failry easy

I wouldn't worry about sway bars. Most of us take them off anyways.
A front bumper since your there and if ya have the monew.
The suspinion lift is really easy to install.
Body lift is a little more involved. But problley easier to do first so the kick isn't lifted too much to jack the body up (thats what I did).
Have fun

For the bumper I am either going with shrockworks or calmini...

anyone have a recomendation on either one??

Build your own if you have the equipment and the capabilities.  that way you can make any design that you want. 

check trail toughs bumpers they look awsome(just ordered me a set yesterday cant wait)

Please let me know when its installed, it may impact which bumper I do get.


Though the front bumper looks pretty good, I don't care much for the rear one

Swaybars?  Hah!  My Tracker's suspension moves so little with the Calstiffi lift that I bet it's stiffer than it was with the stock suspension and sway bar on!

I like those Trail Tough tube bumpers...although with as stiff as my springs are I wonder if heavier bumpers wouldn't be a bad idea...

Well my plan went right out the door, called Calmini to go down today or tommorow to begin the madness.....

Everything I wanted was on back order...

Guess ill have to take another look at the shrock works bumper in the mean time...

Should I wait for them to get it back in stock or there something else out there that is better?

Everything 0n backorder?
Lift and all?
I'd check with ShrockWorks then.
Calminis backorders could take Months..........

Months sounds about right...he didin't seem to be sure when anything would come in...

Shrockworks bumper looks nicer anyway..

now I have to decide tubes or no tubes....


I have also heard sky has a great lift

in my opinion, if you want to buy a lift, buy calmini, best lift made for suzukis, if u want to do your own lift, just do coil spacers, easy to make and get at least 2" of lift untill the calmini one comes avaliable

Check out these guys:

They have a 6" lift that's similar to Calmini's lift.  Ask Shredder, he has their stuff.

Those dudes need to sell the diff drop brackets and a-arm brackets separately.  That's what sucks about calmini is you have to buy the whole kit.

Those dudes need to sell the diff drop brackets and a-arm brackets separately.  That's what killed calmini is you have to buy the whole kit.

That's what killed CALMINI?  Did I miss something?  To my knowledge theirs is still the only complete suspension system available for these vehicles.  Please don't use the boondox copy, turkish copy, or any other half baked system as another performance system.

What most people need (without blowing their budget on a full system) is diff drop brackets for the front and a rear a-arm adapter.

Look at how many people on here just use coil spacers sand crown vic shocks in the rear and you'll see what i mean.  If these parts were available separately, then a few people would save their cv's with less angle and breakage.

I've got an OME lift without any spacers, but to lower the front diff sure would be nice, even if just a little.
