Default calmini lift

Very easy to install...did basically one myself. 2 brackets in the back for a total of 4 bolts and then the front crank the torsion bars up. I didnt put in the new torsion bars so i dont know how difficult thats going to be.And as for the shocks im going with procomp shocks and that should be a breeze changing out.

Just got done with driver side ball joints that i discovered the rubber was shot out on. Took about 2 hours but the other side should go quicker now that i know what to do. lol. Btw i got the ball joints online for 10 bux a piece when the local autozone wanted 25 a piece. Think the name of the place was stockwiseauto

Hi again....I thank you for your help...Just from looking at the front end, I believe that I will be replacing all the ball joints and sway arm bushings...they looked toasted and old...I heard that replacing them with good quality is the better way to go.....I'm trying to convince my brother to help me do this next week when my lift kit arrives...I'll keep you posted on the Busted Knuckle garage events we face...LOL....Have a great week end...

Also I replaced the front shocks with procomp es3000's.
