cohen Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 can you just get rear coils and UCA without torsion bars? or is that a dumb idea. also with a 2" BL you don't have to extend lines and hoses right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LD50 Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 UCA's don't do any lifting, they correct alignment problems after you crank the t-bars. T bars do the lifting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedPath88 Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 No you do not have to replace the T-Bars when lifting, unless they are worn to the point that they will not hold the level of lift that you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cohen Posted April 25, 2007 Author Share Posted April 25, 2007 (edited) Calmini 3" suspension lift http://www.purenissan.com/wd21_3_kit.htm or 4x4parts.com 3" suspension lift http://www.4x4parts.com/public_html/shop/i...76254e3a8f74b15 and no one knows about the body lift part? LD50...this has nothing to do with it, but does ur exhaust sound good with the 2.5" pipe from the Y back?? I have from the cat-back and want it to be louder.

cohen Posted April 26, 2007 Author Share Posted April 26, 2007 Yeah Calmini seems like it would be a better lift kit for like $35 more, I was looking for only a 2" BL tho, I found one for like 74.99. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most people have a similar setup and I think they agree. I also have no cats, and a cone intake which changes the sound a bit. As for the BL, I'd just go with 3". If your going through all the trouble anyways, the FEW things that need to be extended are quite insignificant.

McClurgM Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 I reciently did the 3inch BL on my 87 and the only things that i extended were the steering fluid res. line and the actual steering shaft. NO gas lines at all. Matthew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pavelow Leaks Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 The pain in the ass with the body lift is not the lengthening of the few things you have to..that all took me about 15 minutes...cept for my steering shaft held me up for hours, but that is not common...I actually had to cut mine and weld in a piece of solid stock to lengthen it. Other than that I had to lengthen my gas filler tube and power steering lines. It's really not that big a deal, I'd recommend just doing the 3". To answer your question, no you don't have to extend anything for the 2", but why would you do all that work and not put in the the 3? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest SuperSon Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 been soaking my steering shaft with liquid wrench for the last 4 days .hope it doesnt give me any problems come time to do the lift tuesday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cohen Posted April 28, 2007 Author Share Posted April 28, 2007 I was thinking about a 3" SL too and 6 inches would look goofy with 32's..I don't really plan on spending more $ on tires after just spending 800 in december. I guess 5" would too tho. lol. I think I'm just getting a 3 BL for 100 instead of a SL for 750 and get some manual locking hubs and redo my exhaust from the headers to the cat.

Itll look better with 6 on 32's .A lot has that set up. as long as you dont get some skinny tires like a 9.5 on 32;s. 32X11.50 looks good on 6" lift:coffee!: Edited April 28, 2007 by SuperSon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Pathfindero Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 wait a minute. wait a minute, AC's UCA's are bad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest SuperSon Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 wait a minute. wait a minute, AC's UCA's are bad? Lets see.when I was doing some research on my UCA I found out that 9 out of 10 people arent happy with their ac . Somebody here might argue about that and you know for sure that thats the 1 out of ten that is happy with his/her AC UCA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cohen Posted May 3, 2007 Author Share Posted May 3, 2007 If I were to get a suspension lift I was thinking about buying it in parts like coils then T-bars, then UCA's. What companies sell individual parts like this besides A/C. OR should I just save my money and buy the one from Calmini for $750? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest SuperSon Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 If you have the funds go with Calmini kit. From what ive learned doing my SL and buying parts individually I only saved $100 and thats with a used coils and no drop bracket.If you have the time to run around looking for JCG coils, Shopping for shocks, Tbars and the rest of the parts then you can buy them individually but I suggest you get the kit if budget allows If i am to do it again id go with the whole calmini kit TBars $200 plus shipping UCA 170-350 depends on what brand plus shipping JCG coils $60 after tax (bought locally) Ball joint $60 Set of 4 shocks $175 plus shipping That there is $665 not including shipping on some parts and thats even a used coils.another thing is I calculated all this using RC UCA's if it was calmini it wouldve been 845. That parts list that I got is not even including the drop bracket that came with the calmini kit so theres another $50-75 right there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88pathoffroad Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 Just a note: you don't NEED new t-bars. Mine have been stock since I bought it, just reindexed. The stockers flex better, the aftermarket ones are stiffer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
