My 2 cents

ASide from the lift parts you will need and the cool looking tires you wanna buy dont forget to worry about the major problem at hand and thats the space between the frame and the body.........without the proper spacers you could end up knocking a mount right through your body.....make sure the area around your mounts is not infested with rust or else your 2003 tracker won't last that long...1-2 years max...may be different weather where you are but here in canada your start doing stuff like that without doing it properly the rust will eat you alive)....so I recommend the body lift Kit before you start jacking it up 4.5 "

too much winter might be bad on thinking here in canada but you don't need a body lift for nothing if you don't want one, it will not help the truck last longer or anything of the sort...  maybe i'm ready this thread wrong but some comments make no sense to me...  i don't need a winter review as i live in the snow too..

LOL... you got it right, winter really has nothing to do with it... the thread went off topic after Sn0vv's reply, if he had read the thread properly, he would have seen that I am getting both the full 3 1/8 "combo" from Master Kit and am still planning on upgrading to the OME suspension later.   
SO back to the lift.... I can't wait .. I should have my kit in on Wednesday ;D.. insatllation begins on Saturday.

DO you have the full Calmini suspension kit?  I have just looked at the full suspension kit from them since it has the control arms etc.  Just want some opinions on if it is worth it for the kit.....      Calmini or RR combo?  any thoughts from anyone?

Yes i do have the 2.5" Calmini kit on my 2003 2dr ZR2. With no spacers i get rubbing in full turn. With 1.25" i get no rubbing. Only done 3 trails with it last year (live in Canada - snows too deep for off roading atm) but with some pretty good flexing and had no rubbing.

I chose the Calmini kit over the RR for 2 reasons. I want to avoid body lifts and the control arms. Might install OME or Rancho shocks during this summer but i doubt it atm. I just bought 5.12s and a lockright. That with making rocksliders will end this years mods  :laugh:

After a couple of weekend's of work (due to the weather).  The lift is complete :).  My rims however wont claer the calipers, so I am on the hunt again for some rims.... Hopefully I will have a new set in next week and i will be able to post some pics.
