The front tires are rubbing very badly.... Im going to have to get a BFH and bash it in, or take it to a body shop and have it done right... I can also crank the coilovers up some more... we will see!

Nice! [ThumbsUp]
I think I would have used lime green on the shackles
(just to be even more different)

Just curious, I looked around and could not find the reason why to use the Radflo coil overs and Total Chaos A-arm in conjunction with the Calimini 5". More travel? More lift? More clearence under the diff? Stronger front end?

More travel.... yes
More lift..... yes
More clearance.. slightly
Stronger front end.... definitely

I am combining two things basically....
alot of people are using the Radflo's and TC uca's as a small lift set up for their trucks (from 0 to 3") which gives you lift and more travel (replaces factory stuff). Well the Calmini lift retains all that factory stuff. So I just decided to replace it. So instead of 5" lift with all the factory characteristcs. I have a 5" lift that can be adjusted up to 7" of lift with all of the bad ass characteristics that come with the Radflo/TC setup. Oh and the coilovers are different than the ones he sells on his site. I believe that these might be for a titan lift or something but they are adjustable and can give you from anywhere between 4 and 7" of lift.

Does that answer you question?

May I ask, many inches of clearence do you have under the front diff? Right now I have only 8". How about top of tire to bottom of wheel well? I would like to compare...

That looks great, wasn't too sure about the bright orange shackles with the Calmini blue, but that was before I saw it all together.

Awesome flex for IFS.
