Post by Anesh »

Hey guys, I just received my 3' suspension lift kit from Calmini http://www.cntc.ca/phpBB3/posting.php?mode=post&f=6#" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; ... was wondering if someone experienced could help me install it and teach me along the way. Or were can i go get it installed, but i definitely wanna be involved in the install process. Thanks.!

National 4WD does, too. Due to insurance reasons, no one at any shop will let you help.

When the warmer weather approaches, you might find people being more enthusiastic about doing a lift.

Perhaps someone who has installed the calmini can chime in on what to do with the squeaky UCAs (*ahem*, HolidayNation...)

I might be willing to lend a hand, but it would need to be warmer first. ;)

As Scotto said, when warmer weather approached, you'll have lots of volunteers. I'd be willing to help out if I can make it.

Hey Anesh, any luck getting that lift?

I thought I would jump in on this thread with my situation.
Since I'm ok with a "stock" X for the most part, I do need a bit of extra wheel well clearance for a slightly larger tire as well as the right look.
My X takes me where I need to go, so the hard core lift is not my question/option.
Below is a link to what I think will work for me? Does anyone see any issue with this product/install on a 06 X?

Thanks guys/gals

I ordered the same thing, but with the leafs and longer bilsteins. Only problem I see is getting Greg to answer his phone/emails, and then actually ship the stuff.

Love PRG, sometimes Greg is hard to get a hold of but he puts a pile of himself into the business. He will get back to you, he will answer your questions with an excellent understanding of your vehicle, and his products are excellent.

Looked at your package, I would consider adding the deaver pack and the longer blistien shocks at the same time.
