Looking good!!!

That's hawt, Robert!

You need bigger tires....Looks good!!

Odd, it doesn't LOOK 5" taller?

Did you measure before/after?

It is definately 5" taller. Note the 2 bolts on the front shot - the camber bolts... that's the 5" right there.

I did not take before and afters because I had the 2.5" kit on. I will eventually take measurements with other club members' rides... its tall for sure.

The question for the night was... is it as tall as XterraRacers?

Nice!!!

Looks good man! Can't wait for the write up and future pics.

I wonder what it would look like with a shrock front.

Also looking forward to what other guys have got for outcome. I would definitely take the blue parts and paint them black.

Looks good.

Looks great!

Now why would you go do a thing like that?

Because yellow and blue or blue and yellow looks ghey!

yo bob, she looks mighty fine!!! can't wait to install mine now gotta finish the wood trim project then i can start.

congrats, she looks great!

Can someone chop a Shrock bumper on this?

tia

Hot Chop, Kev

Not a bad approach angle there.

Are you sure you've got that front bumper lined up correctly? It appears from my perspective that it's tilted down a bit. It's probably my poor vision though.

It is tilted down, but it's a photochop so it's not going to be a perfect job in that little time

Fooled me! Well, that's not too hard to do but still...

That looks great man.

Mine is finally to be delivered today! I can post a picture of what a Shrock front bumper looks like next to the 5" lift sitting on the floor

FWIW - I will probably not do a Shrocks bumper, I believe that the stock bumper will do everything that I will ever need. A Calmini bumper would be more appropriate on my X, if that day ever comes (ie, winch)

I am going to compile a list of tips for those that are going to do the install on their own. I ran into some newbie items that will help save time - I am willing to give you my cell number for evening calls. PM me if you have the kit and want that extra help.

By Monday I should have a good review of the install with some additional pictures. Again, very impressed with the tightness of the entire kit. The alignment was dead on, with some compliments from the old guys that have been doing alignments longer than I have been alive.

Thanks to Calmini for their great service and support. This kit is a true bolt on that is easily done in a garage with the help of another person. The cutting portion of the job is simple and straight forward, nothing to be intimidated about. I would give this install a 3 out of 5 wrenches in its difficulty. (00 - 04 3" installs being a 2, and the 05 spacer lift being a 1)

Happy kid here!!!

Which monday were you talking about again?

I have been swamped with the Parker425 race prep and being there that I failed to post a review.

I will try to get on it today.

For anyone installing the lift right now, feel free to PM me for my number. I am available to answer any after hours questions.

I will be posting tips on how to do certain tasks that were not fully explained in the instructions. These tips are simple mechanics, nothing fancy... just another level of detail to help you guys out.

Hang tight... life is just going too fast right now.

There are 2 X's in Oregon that are planning on installing the calmini 5", but removing the spacer cans and using some radflows from PRG.

One of them already has the lift on, he's just waiting for the fronts to show up from PRG so that he can install them.

I'm the other guy. I'm waiting for the shocks from PRG (should show up next week) and the Calmini kit, which is supposed to be shipped in 3-5 weeks.

Fastdrmr, any words of wisdom you have to offer up would be great. I've been talking with the other guy. I think he's going to enlighten me as well.
