The Calmini Suspension Lift
NOTE: In case you are wondering, this is meant to be a guide to help you see what is involved in lifting a RODEO. Calmini does make several other lifts, but I would not know a damn thing about them!!!
Now that the disclaimer is done, you can see just how much stuff is involved in lifitng your Rodeo. Calmini provides you with: (* Denotates item was chromed - see yellow arrows in picture above)
- Longer upper A-arms. *
- Front steel braide brake lines.
- Stronger center cross-member. *
- Front and rear bump stop extension plates. *
- Stiffer front torsion bars.
- Four additional leaves for your leaf springs.
- Extended heavy duty rear-shackles and bolts. *
- Four new heavy duty Calmini shocks and dust boots.
- Mounting hardware is also included.
This is a fairly complete kit, with some decent instructions thrown in for good measure. However, unless you have a very complete set of tools, and a propensity for wrenching, you may want to pay your local shop to do this. We could not have completed this lift without air tools and our drill press. So if you lack a drill and the compressor, you have been warned. (You may also want to get a good quality torque wrench for some of these steps.) This is your suspension you are messing with here, so caution and care are required.
