Has anyone used or seen this used? If so, how do you like it and how was the installation?

That worked. Thank you. That pathy looks awesome. I wonder how much lift he actually got out of it with the lift kit, springs and coilovers.

just to throw out a counterpoint, geometry lifts such as that one great reduce the strength of a suspension system by cantilevering the equipment away from the frame.
they also do nothing for suspension travel which is typically the primary objective in modifying a suspension system.
if you are only going to driveon the street, and the point is to look taller, then go for it. but if you want to take it off road, look into long-travel kits or coilovers.
armor, good tires and a locker would get you farther down a trail than any lift kit.
not trying to dog anyone for doing it, just making sure all the info is out there.

I agree, I was just wondering if anyone has used the Calmini set up and how it worked out. Thanks for all the input and suggestions.
