Is there anyone around Pittsburgh or Washington, PA, hell western PA, that has the Calmini 5" lift installed that would be willing to meet me so I can compare my lift to their's, I have the PRG Basic kit with the 2.0's and I am debating whether I want to drop another 1,500.00 for a few more inches.

Screamin Lizard Customs -.

are you 4wd? from the pic you look 2 to me

 

[Nismo05]

I'm 4wd, and how is it that site can sell that lift that cheap?

 

[gristle]

i dont have a clamini but i do have 6" with 305/70/16s. i am in punxsutawney

 

[Jordo]

I got 6 inches too. But I live in eastern PA. And you know... there is much cheaper ways to get 6 inches of lift with out doing drop bracket. I got 5 inches for $300 total. My tires give me 1 more.(they were more then $300)

 

[Nismo05]

ok Jordo I'm intrigued, how did you accomplish 5" of lift for $300? A spacer lift and the homemade body lift?

 

[mike]

body lift.

 

[frontyfan]

there's a thread around here for a do it yourself body lift. its really cheap.

 

[Motorcop75]

Excuse me for the threadjack, but Nismo05 and Gristle need to come out to Rausch Creek this Saturday and wheel with us. If Mike makes it up, you could look at his SL/BL combo in person!! Whadda ya say?

JR has the calmini 5 on his rig but hes in the Scranton area.

I just got my Calmini 5" yesterday from a nissan dealership in Texas, the total out the door was 1262 and some change (that's shipped to utah). That was the cheapest I found it other than sreamin lizard customs (didnt know if it was used or not so i spent a little more), here is there link if interested.

Calmini 5 4wd Lift (KNP17500) KNP17500

the guy said they had 4 of the 4wd kits when I called last thrusday

man thats cheap deal from screaming lizards. Almost makes me wanna do it and then get the radflow upgrades(UCA, AAL, Radflows)

 

[Nismo05]

Motor, thanks for the invite but it looks like I'm going out to OH to ride my quad this weekend, some place called Chemline, and 9 hours of driving to Rausch Creek and back home isn't all that appealing.

They are not used. I have a friend got the calmini front bumper from them for $300.

 

[Nismo05]

Well the Nissan dealer (Grubbs) and Screamin Lizard are one in the same, I just got my tracking #'s in my e-mail, guess I need to call Greg and ask some questions how my basic coilover lift and the Calmini are going to work together, I really wanted to get the Fab-Tech kit for the extra inch but from all the bashing I have heard about the fit and finish and the $600 price difference I decided to get the Calmini, I can get a 3" body lift if I am not happy and still save $200.00, I'll post some pic's when I get it installed.

 

[Johnnyman88]

look my sig, thats how high you'll be with 3 inch body added and some prg coilovers, probably higher becuz the coilovers he offer for the calmini kit now are way bigger..

 

[Nismo05]

Johnny, nice truck, but I already have the 2.0's, so we will probably be the same height, I have Moto-Metal 951's but they are 6-5.5 I just used some spacers to go from our 4.5 bolt pattern to the 5.5 and I'm running 285/50/20 and will either be going up to 305/55/20's or selling the wheels and getting some 17 or 18's and maybe a 35" tire not sure though, but I was going to talk to Greg to see if I can just use the Calmini spacers that come with the lift, and if I can use the Bilsteins (5125's) in the rear that came with the Basic Coilover kit I have already, or if I will have to use the rear shocks that come with the Calmini kit.

 

[Nismo05]

Well, my lift came today, (so screaminlizard isn't a scam internet site) and it looks like I can just keep my PRG shackles and shocks installed since I have the Bilstein 5125's on there now and the lift came with 5100's, and after reading through the directions it doesn't really seem like it is going to be that tough, although I have to paint it before I install it or everyone will be calling my truck "The Bruise". SO, does anyone have any tip's that they learned during their install that would make my life easier?

ok Jordo I'm intrigued, how did you accomplish 5" of lift for $300? A spacer lift and the homemade body lift?

Sorry for the late responce. I see that you already got your lift. I have 3 inch PRG spacers and blocks. Plus a 2 inch body lift, pluss 33 inch tires.

I just bought the PRG advanced package, so I'll be removing all that non-sence shortly.
