how does the CALMINI 3" suspension work

[Viper929]

I was looking at the 3" CALMINI suspension and all it comes with 2 coil spings so how does it lift the frunt of the truck? Do I have to use the torsion bars to lift the front? Is there any suspension kit that has 4 springs for a 88 pathy?

You can SAS it with coils.

There are only two springs on a factory setup. The front uses torsion bars instead of springs.

Solid axle swap

[sammyb33]

to elaborate a little,

 

a Solid Axle Swap replaces the lovely Nissan Independent Front Suspension with a solid front axle. Allowing you to achieve more lift, bigger space for bigger tire clearance, among other worthwile advantages.

 

SASing a vehicle takes a lot of know how, and skill. you need to figure out how much you are gonna wheel your truck to really tell what kinda lift you want....

 

 

just my 2 cents...

(oh and 4 doors are much much cooler....)
