Wow Eric, you've "allowed" me to post my experiences?
If you think plan on banning me, go ahead, do what you wish. I'm simply stating
facts from my experiences.
Yes, the "camber issue" is a problem area that WAS NOT mentioned on the Zukiworld review or anywhere previously. I'll show you.
Here's the quote from the Zukiworld article that you listed.

Repeat this on each side, attach your steering arms, and drive shafts and you’re ready for a professional realignment.

What IS NOT pointed out in that sentence is that after installing the suspension the toe in is so great that you CAN NOT take it to be professionally aligned. You MUST do an alignment yourself PROIR to taking the vehicle to a professional. Not doing so basically renders the vehicle undrivable.

Second, you've mentioned "the whole camber issue" What is that about? On the project 'Tricker Kicker' vehicle we reported as observed there was no camber issue after install, Moab, and Rubicon, It's called the alignment shop, use it! [img]images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Yes, I said "camber issue".
After installation you have postive camber in the front end. This was verified with Calmini when I installed the suspension. They said you WILL have postive camber. Installing the larger tires with 2" backspaced wheels will help correct this. It also states
in the instructions that camber will be an issue unless you trim the springs or install a steel bumper/winch.
Tricker Kicker didn't have that issue because you guys are also running the Calmini bumper and winch.
So, regarding the whole "camber issue" I
stand by my facts.
Those facts being:
1. There is nothing on the Calmini website telling potential buyers in advance of the camber situation with the lift, and that trimming the springs or buying a new bumper/winch is needed.
2. This is not on the IZook review.
3. It's also not on the Zukiworld review.
4. I talked to Steve on the phone, he even said himself that some type of note should be made regarding the lift and the postive camber induced by the extra coils in the front springs...put there to handle the load of the accessories.
So, I've checked my facts...they check out. They're the truth. I have no reason to sway one way or the other regarding how things have went.
My only question to you, is what is your stake in this? Why would you care if I post my experiences with a product?
My "alternative voice"? The post was directed towards me!
Looks like if I continue I'll no longer be "allowed" to post. Ugh.
