can anybody idetify this lift kit ?

[tom4bren]

Actually Tom......



The crossmember is the Drilled square section...
... between the boots and shocks in the pic.

Its just upside down.. ...and youre right...its really not needed.

I'm not seein it. Mine looks totally dif'rent.

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?

Now dats what mine looks like.

Not needed anyway so - irrelevent.

BTW, Kilby must get the crossmember from Cal-Mini for their skid plate application 'cause it's same-o ('cept they drilled & tapped a few holes).

MMMm.......mine is different.

Mine is 100% the same as the OP picture on this thread.

Calmini must of changed the design recently I guess.

What age is your kit Tom?

[tom4bren]

IDK - installed by PO.

BTW, it was blue till I went all rattle can happy wit de John Deere yellow stuff.

[JoFotoz]

Well...in that case I'm all

I'd have to guess that mine is older, and you have a newer, redesigned c/member...

Mine was purchased by PO too....and is back to at least 2003/4 AFAIK.

I did get a replacement about 2 1/2 years ago after dropping the c/member right on top of a rock ...

...and they sent the same "Unistrut" looking piece.

But hey....back to the bottom line..

...it aint required anyway !

Bottom Line Up Front (BLUF): It ain't required anyway

but the more important info is: Jo is special.

...not me...maybe my c/member!

Why is it not needed? It looks like it provides additional support when adding more weight with larger tires and some front diff protection. Just curious.

[tom4bren]

Not needed because the front pumpkin doesn't get shifted down with the lift kit. The OEM crossmember works just fine. Either one serves the same function, fits the same, and are equally strong.

You said not needed, and it may not have a purpose for the lift, but did help ya out on that rock. Soooo maybe it does serve a purpose after all .

[JoFotoz]

As Tom says Coastie...

Its not that a cross member isnt needed.

Its just that the original is equally good/strong and would have served the same purpose...

....and taken the same kind of hit.

I hope its not required for bigger tires ... My kilby crossmember has been off all winter.

Douche every single nut & bolt that's gonna get twisted with PB blaster the day before & the day of, the lift, crank up the torsion bars (about 4 rotations on the nut per 1" of lift, same both sides) & flip the upper ball joints, get an alignment...DONE

Use the search...

Look for "little beast becomes big beast"
