A friend of mine is looking into a lift for his samurai and he is looking at a calmini super 5" lift combo, I know this is not a great question but he wants to know about it so flame if you want.

i personally would go with an spoa kit. cheaper, more flex, and if its still not high enough, its easy to go higher.oh yeah, for the flames...:nuke: :nuke: :nuke: :nuke: :nuke: :nuke:

i agree.... SPOA more the the$$$ as well

That what I was telling him. He has the stock springs on it right now and I told him to just so spring over and go with it for a while untill he gets new springs, but he dose't like what the rear stock springs look like. Besides YJ springs what would be good to go with?

Thanks for the:nuke: :nuke: :nuke: :nuke: :nuke:

if anyone on this high end of a board says that they prefer spua over spoa......they are:rainbow: and probably work for calmeany. there is no way in hell i would run their stiff ass springs!!! i know i am going to get flamed for this but buy the www.rockyroadoutfitters.com spring perches and spacers and go for it!! z-links are easy to make and brake lines are easy to install. screw the spua crap!!:flipoff2:

I was checkin out a local's rig with a calmini S/R 5" combo and I just didn;t like it much, there are big ugly FANGS in the front just itching to bite rocks. I run a 4.5" breeze SPOA and am about the same height as him, better approach angle, and rides better too, the Calmini springs seem a bit stiff. It's not a bad setup I don't think just a SPOA is better! SPOA is THE way on a sammy.

SPUA = :barf:

I fogrot to flame...


:rainbow: SPUA :rainbow:
:flipoff2: SPUA :flipoff2:

Much Better!

SPOA, Breeze X-Over steering.

Use the stock springs.

You didn't say target tire size...

r@m

Dats what I got..

Stock springs, Breeze Steerin and 4.5" SPOA.

I love it, NO bumpsteer!! The power steering helps too.

any one who don't SPOA is :rainbow: :rainbow: :rainbow: :rainbow:

If you are going to go through the work of a spoa....Just do YJ's....You cant go wrong! Do it right the first time!

Thanks guys, he didn't want to trust me, but now that he has seen this he is going to go spring over with YJ springs. Thanks again for the help.

Theres a couple of zuks on yj and cj springs in Santa Rosa (including mine) if you wanna check em out.

I guess i will be the a$$ in here.
The calmini lift is a piece of sht. their are two guys that live near me that have them and the hate them. Both of themsay that the springs ride like rock/ one says the BDS are softer than the calmini springs/
I have got to ride in them / they ride very ruff/

Not trying to sale something for someone
For the price i would go with Breeze are RRO SPOA.

My friend greytx is going with the RRO perches and breeze zbar/breeze spacers/stock springs/toy camria (80 model)break lins/

When i sale all parts out of my 88.5
I am going with the RRO perches/Breeze z bar/Breeze spacer/and stock strings, with a few extra strings added in.
toy break lines
