well, i finally got the tracker in my name, and i took it offroad the other night (just a little mudding is all), and i've decided that the max. i want to go is 3 inches... all i would NEED is 2... just to put actual off-road tires on it... like i said before, i don't want to cut the fenders or anything like that... plus, i want to keep the stock bumpers on it.  so here's my next question.  do y'all think i'll be happier with the calmini 2", 3", or the RRO 2.5" setup?  i like the idea of a smooth ride, but do the calmini kits really give more flex?  i guess i've decided that i will be doing more mudding than previously thought... that's the only offroad interest here... everyone focuses on the mud puddles, and turns them into ponds..lol...  so flex may not be what i need...

Go rescue that Sam, from that back yard, for free and sell the parts to pay for your build.

if i had the money, and the terrain for rockcrawling, i'd love to have the sami as well as my tracker... that way, i'd have a mudder (tracker), and a rockcrawler (sami)...  i just see a tracker, with the IFS, going semi-full speed and taking an awesome dive into a mud puddle, and hydroplaning and skipping across the top like a flat rock on a smooth pond...  likewise, the sami, with the option of a 5" SPOA system, i can just imagine pulling one wheel up the side of a boulder, while the other 3 are still on the ground, or barely off the ground...   i just don't see a trackick being an avid rockcrawler, and i don't see a sami being a mudder.... that's just my opinion.. seems like each has its own place, ya know?

Yeah, really man.  A free Sammi, Git R Done!!  As far as the lift goes I've met a few guys with that 3 on 3 combo from Calmini and they seem to really like it.  As far as customer service goes, you seem like the type of dude that needs it.  Myself, all I look for is getting a quality product for a decent price.  Calmini seems to fit the quality and price bill, so the only risk your taking is how well you get taken care of during and after the sale, so who knows if that'll come into play or not.  I'd never buy anything from them for a couple of reasons [*Eric's eybrows raise* "It's me again, the central scrutinizer"] but I won't get into those here.  I wouldn't dissuade you from getting something from them though, so get the damn lift and start wheelin'.  Good luck.

sorry for the bashing to RRO... and wow, believe it or not, i think i've decided what kind of setup i want... i THINK... it will change by the time i get the money to pay for it...lol....  3 inch susp. from calmini, and some coil spacers from sky...  that will be the same 4.5" lift that ya get from RRO, but full suspension, right?  of course, it will cost more, but i'm not too fond of body lifts... not that they're wrong or anything, but i just don't like the gap between the frame and body...  if i'm not satisfied with 4.5, then i'll get a body lift later... or soemthing....  ok, question on bodylifts, and other things that are year-specific.... on BDS, on the chart for the body lift, it only goes to 95... on RRO, the body lift goes up to 98.... is there a difference?  i've found this on several other things as well... one, for instance, was a front grill from erebunicorp.com... it says it fits a sidekick up to 95... would it fit my 96 tracker? i thought the only differences between the years was stuff like 8v and 16v, and different interior touches....  thanks guys for the help, and when i get all this stuff, i'll post some pics!
