Actually thanks for reminding me..A friend that works there gave me a free lifetime alignment...Damn how can I be so stupid to forget that?

Well I just spoke to Calmini and they said that they have new parts ready to go so I then talked to Xterraparts.com and they also said that my steering and t-bars are ready to go..So hopefully I get them within this next coming week so I can install this stuff...

That just means sometime this summer instead of next winter.

Cool Hopefully they will be able to get my lift kit out next week. Now I have to order shocks. What would be the best place to order from AC? Steve where did you get your bils?

I got them from SLR 2 years ago, but don't recommend doing any business with Spencer Low, Jr. AC also sells them, but I don't know what damping and lengths they have. Lots of places online sell them, but they usually don't show the part numbers, just applications and no one has Xterra +3" lift +20% damping as an application. You might try calling some of distributors bilstein has listed on their site.

No matter what bushings you get you will eventually have trouble with them. Mine started squeaking about 6 months after install. I ended up installing zerks and at least can now grease when needed. The rear shackles could use some zerks where the bushings are too, which I figure I'll do when I get a chance. You would think that in this day and age, Calmini would install the zerks themselves to save both us and them all that trouble. I mean how many people have they had to send out new bushings to? The cost of adding zerks is far less than having to field all the calls, diagnose whether or not it's the bushings, and then having to send out new ones all the time, at least from my perspective.

RI Xterra did you ever get your torsion bars? Called calmini up to check up on the status and was told another week.

Nah man nothing yet..I'm still actually waiting on the T-bars and my steering system...

I ordered mine through Xterraparts and Alex told me that they are having Calmini drop ship them to me,so it looks like I'll be waiting another week...

This is to anyone...

I have my UCA's already do you think it's worth putting them in now or should I wait till I get everything else???

I also got my shocks from SLR do you also think I should put them in????

Anyone???

Wait and do it all at once.

I completed my suspension lift components in a period of almost one year! Could've installed the parts as I got them but decided to just do one install and one alignment. Saved me time and money.

Gmax and Ian I was thinking the same but I guess I'm just getting really antsy....

Mid to late next week ship date. So maybe sometime in june. I was able to free up enough cash to add the steering system to the order so I can now do it all at once. I guess its also time to order shocks as well.

Woooohoooooo

Yeah Calmini has 50 orders to fill on the steering system..I ordered mine a month ago and still waiting on it...I ordered my UCA's,rear shackles,T-bars and SS from Xterraparts and when I ordered the T's and SS was on backorder so what Xterraparts did was have Calmini drop ship them to me directly from them when they finished up thier batch...Now supposedly when I talked to Alex at xterraparts Calmini was supposed to send out half the batch that they completed on last wednesday the 26th..So hopefully my SS was sent out then cause if it wasn't then they'll be shipped out next wednesday the 2nd of June...

Oh well I guess all I can do is cross my fingers and hope they sent mine out last wednesday...

Well came home and found a pile of molten plastic on the desk. Looks like the lift kit is shipping today or tomorrow but the steering appears to still be back ordered. So next weekend it looks like I will be in the garage lifting the truck and feeding the mosquitoes. Looks like total cost on the lift with the bilstiens is going to be 1200 bucks including all shipping.

It's finaly here. Ups guy loved bringing up 93 pounds of steel to my apt. Looks like the games are about to begin. Wish me luck.

Well it looks like calmini changed the bushings again for the A arms. The set I have are a camo green. Anyone else received a green set yet?

Those are the stealth hunting bushings for folks up North
