what should i go for...

Post by trotter » Fri Jul 18, 2008 12:45 pm

question is do i just replace what i've already got...

2" iron man springs and pro comp 1000 shocks

for new 2" iron mans and new pro comp 3000 shocks

or do i give this a try...

yea the calmini lift, i'm guessing the 5 inch lift is from 3 inch spring and 2 inch shackle as a 5 inch spring would be mental

Luke from the old forum had the calmini 3.5" lift kit on his, dont think he has registered on the new forum but he can be found on difflock as 'tramp' dont think he had a bad word to say about it!
