hey guys I am wondering if you guys could get me an estimate on what something might cost, just a price range(doesnt need to be exact). When the last owner of my sidekick installed a calmini 3" lift he neglected to install the new rear lower links and upper wishbone so the angles are all screwy and the wishbone joint looks really stressed, on top of this im going from 31" tires to 32" tires and need to get this worked out and for cheap if I can. This is for a 93 4door sidekick

Ill take pictures of the existing stuff in a few minutes and post them up. Here is a picture of the calmini lift where you can see the new rear lowers and wishbone, the calmini ones are bent and extended 1" I believe and mine are straight.

not the best of pictures but this is what I have until I can get it on a lift later tonight. My axle is turned also in a way that my springs are bowed alittle. If you read this UFAB please send me a message with your contact info or where your shop is.

So what's the problem? Your coils are bowed a little? They should be just fine, I wouldn't worry about it. If your pinion angle is on and it drives fine then leave it alone.

Brandon, I could have sworn that had the 2" lift instead of the 3" lift. The 2" lift doesn't come with rear control arms.


ALso, check out how Mike Hagen did his rear suspension:

thats exactly what I thought steve but the previous owners says the front stuff and the rear coils were taken from a 3" lift. The reason why I want to get this done is the wishbone ball joint looks like it has alot of stress on it and with the lower links I would really just like to push them back just alittle so I dont have to trim my fender, with my 32's going on I might have to trip alittle if I dont do this. The picture I posted of the wishbone doesnt really show the stress much but ill try to get a picture alittle later that really shows it.

woah, hold the phone: you have 3" coils on a 2" lift??? that explains everything. Y'all ain't gots enough room for that without messing up all the angles.
