That would be a Calmini lift kit, and you can find more info HERE .
Oh, and yes there seems to be some bits & pieces missing.
Looks like Cal-Mini to me...:_thinking
Jo?...what say you?
It does look like Cal-Mini.
It's missing the replacement crossmember but that's really not needed anyway.
The bracket next to the springs looks like the panhard rod drop they included with their kit.
Not sure what that thing is next to the shock boots or the small piece between the shocks. It may be part of the panhard rod drop bracket.
Yup ..Calmini.
Nothing missing that you need....
...and some stuff you dont!
I inherited a Calmini kit when I first got my VX...
...and they are WAY expensive for what they are..RETAIL.
However...For $100..THATS A STEAL.....
....and the shocks are GREAT IMO.
Just check the springs are equal...
..... they have been known to settle at different rates.
And of course check the shocks are good.
If ya get it, and want a hand fitting...
...take a cruise to San Diego...I'll help you.
If..on the other hands you decide not to purchase..
...I would happily do so..so please let me know!

Actually Tom......

The blue bar next to the boots is a painted piece of Uni-strut.
Very common in Electrical and plumbing installations, used with clamps to support pipes and conduit. I have NEVER seen a need to use it in an auto, EVER!
Makes me wonder? :_thinking:freek:
With all due respect Bulldoggie....
...yer wrong.Quote:

Trust me...I have one..its done many trails.....it aint Uni-Strut!
Its not required..but it is a solid/strong part of the kit.

It may be modified to be a crossmember but I know unistrut when i see it
As BURGER KING would say....
HAVE IT YOUR WAY
Come to Moab..check mine out....
...beers on me if I'm wrong :_beer:
jo
just sent the paypal payment :)
Like I said, it could have been modified into a crossmember, but it started life as a piece of unistrut.Quote:

Here's a better link to show more applications;

Long way to go, gas-wise, just to earn a free beer :yeso:
Fair enough...we'll have to agree to disagree :p
I've used Unistrut for many applications....including marine and Industrial.Quote:

There is no need to swap it out... the OEM crossmember is good.

Good call...
...its a good deal if shocks are good and coils are equal.Quote:

Is that an early Kit or ????? The VehiCROSS kit on Calmini's page looks different than your pic as far as the crossmember goes and no brackets with mounting holes on each end. The Unistrut piece in the pic is for what then?
