He will be able to undercut snake racing by quite a bit I think.

What do you think??

No he won't. Calmini only sell to their dealer network, which is 2 companies, snake being one of them. Best of luck to your mate.

PS. 5" lift on a sierra is just dumb. Any company that endorses such a kit is also dumb.

12" is much smartera...

He already has a source for these kits, he hasn't committed to anything he just asked me to throw it out there to see if there would be any interest.

Why is 5in so dumb?? Most of us are running at least 4in of lift via a combo of suspension and body lift, add extended shackles (like a few on here have) and you're at 5in

The calmini 5" kit is worse than terrible. The front arms and diff drop brackets from the vitara kit are okay, so long as you like imperial holes for metric hardware, but you have to buy the dumb heim jointed A arm and craptastic struts to get the good bits.

Is it so hard to buy metric drills in the US?

since when did sierra's have IFS?

I was referencing the only calmini parts that are worth using in anything.

The 5" sierra kit is insanely stiff, and uses a shackle reversal, which is pointless.

GRPABT1 on outers ran one, but he used "soft" springs and I think still derated the springs further.

PS nato - Bodylift is used to clear tyres. Suspension lift doesn't clear tyres, so 5" of lift is lost stability and ruined ride for no other gain.

If your bumpstops are positioned to prevent your tyres hitting the guards then you're only running suspension lift to provide compression travel, which has nothing to do with stability or flex.

i have the calmini 5" springs and after 7-8 years they still give me a sore neck and average flex, in another 7 yrs i reckon they will be just right.

Yeah, from memory shep is running 4in leafs in the rear and 3in leafs up front and he gets some good flex in his pics. The leafs in this kit are the 3in ones with the shackle reversal giving another 2in.

mine is the 5 inch kit but i threw away all the bits that i didnt like.
i kept. 1 rear brake line, rear shocks, front u- bolt plate thing and the springs.
the full kit was on a car wreck i bought and i have no idea how old it is. i wouldn't mind some new
rear springs as mine have lost there load carrying ability and are to soft.
