You say it can rip bolts off, only if you driving like a **** ***... and of course i don't.. i guess u have to trade ur fronty in for the titan..

yeah frontin40, blew his balljoints but he's two wheel drive. interesting............. i want to see long term offroading with this lift. need to see others out there with the lift and then make a fair assumption on if the lift caused his premature failure>?

the number one problem with calmini is the customer service... THAT actually has NOTHING to do with the mechanics of the lift... just the people on the other end of the phone...

if your going to base your opinion off of ONE truck then you better sell yours because i know MULTIPLE trucks that has had problems from the factory... if one trucks lift kit mishaps turns you off on the kit... then why are you driving a frontier when there is a thread out there that talks about how many things have gone wrong with the stock 2nd gen frontier from the FACTORY??

not talking about just the lift, im talking about me and others on here with probs with there other products.................. i know of peeps with suzuki products/ hardbody products that are not happy with them........... people with the sas and say they wouldnt buy from them again.......

sure thing! HEY, my mother is a nurse too! you two would get along GREAT!

oh, and ill bet money that the lift is what caused premature failure of balljoints.................. but i would have to see the angles when flexed, but like i said before a drop bracket lift changes factory suspension specs so it doesnt suprised me that someone would have probs with the lift and until there are more out there that wheel with that lift no way to tell for sure.

dude, sorry about that comment...................................
just saying that there are others out there not happy with there others prods.

i agree... the lift probably caused the problem... i just thought you were talking about the CAL 5" and basing everything off of frontin40...

I believe that no matter what product you research you will find people who have had bad experiences. People very rarely talk about the good things they seem to dwell on the bad. A drop bracket lift should actually keep the geometry closer to stock than a spacer or coil over lift. If you drop the lower control arm the same distance that you lengthen the spindle the angles will be the same as stock. The calmini lift should put no more load on the upper ball joint than any other lift. They don't move the coil bucket so the control arm angle can't be any more extreme than with a spacer lift. The limiting factor on droop will still be the coil bucket. Please quit saying that a drop bracket lift changes the geometry. If done correctly it will not.

well you think it doesnt change geometry but id bet it does...............those things arent made the exact same as factory...........so no matter how much you think its the same i think its not, i could guarantee its off from factory-maybe not by much at all, but think what you want...............we are entitled to our opinion. let me ask you this then why do you think tires wear unevenly or at a more aggressive rate with lifts? especially drop lifts? because things like alignment are change and im sure they dont get back to specs as factory.

[2006fronty]

with drop down bracket lifts the geometry stays the same, hence the need for the longer spindle and the giant coilover spacer. the upper and lower arms are in the same angle as stock, there is simply more space in between them. if a drop down bracket lift is aligned properly, then you will not have any tire wear issues different than stock. they give stockish travel, they are more for looks not performance.

okay guys i see that frontin40 had got a call from calmini and i am probably wrong about the lift .................... **** off.......
