Calmini Kit is Good, Well Engineerered Kits
Mostly Bolton too

Its OK...lots of stuff ya really dont need..

The OME springs and a simple Torsion crank is the way to go IMO..

....it will save ya MANY $$$'s...


...and is just as good.

Yup, I lifted for under $150 with the OME 912 springs, cranked the front T-bars and was done. I have done nothing else to my VX to get the 3"s. In my opinion, the OME 912 springs will give you about 2"s of lift, and then once you go with bigger tires you will gain another inch or so.

Look at this thread for some good photos of what you can do:

Or maybe even better, if your springs don't sag & fall out on the trail.........

Oh harsh dude...but yea...TRUE!

...course it had nothing to do with the Photo op...

...and twisting the ORW back and forth...to the max!

Even though I have a cheap source of third party driveshafts, I'm going to do a diff drop (and rotate the front axle a little bit towards transfer case).

Search for "lift wiki" on this site and you will find a thread with everything you will ever need. I would post the link but I am on the PS3 currently.

Can't believe I beat ldub to this one.

I have the Calmini lift on mine (according to PO). I have no complaints. The one thing I did notice on mine is that it includes a panhard rod drop bracket. I'm not sure it's necessary but some owners have noticed a shift in the the rear axle (to the right) after lifting. This may be the 'fix' for that but the consensus is still out.

I can help you with the Diff Drop Brackets but so can Joe Darlington (I think he's a member).

If you lift - please get rims with 'offset from hell' so I'm not alone
