Couple of things to watch for…
Radius arm bracket placement…level to the lower spring pad…tack weld…verify there good (take a picture, show CALMINI or whatever) before the finish weld
Rear springs…make sure you install the double military wrap in front, single in the rear on the shackle end… some people mistakenly installed them the other way around because the bushing sleeves which are wire-tied on where shipped on the wrong ends; bushing are the same but the smaller sleeve goes on the shackle end with the corresponding smaller bolt. If yours come wrong just switch the sleeves, press out easily my hand.
Consider a gusset or double sheer bracket for the track bar mount on the passenger side. Use misalignment spacers on that bolt before & after it goes through the track bar hiem.
When everything is done cycle the suspension/turn the steering back/forth and make sure nothing binds or rubs.
At full drop on a lift, tires in the air check the front driveshaft and hand rotated 360 degrees to check for any binding.
Seriously think about the front sway bar…much better highway handling at speed especially on the turns and helps stability offroad also.
Good luck
Brianthats some good advice there. thanx.
one question ive had, seems i cant find an answer to. the calmini kit doesnt replace the tie rod and drag link does it? or does it replace one and not the other?
