Not meaning to fight the flow here Starchild, (wusuuuup?) but in my experience, the only item I used in my lift from Calmini was the shackles. They make a good, beefy shackle. As far as T-bars (crank-um) and control arms are concerned, O.E. Zu parts are probably going to be more than adequate for a 3.5" or less suspension lift. Chances are you probably could spend the bulk of that 700 bills on other items that will improve your ride characteristics (I.E. Tires, shox, manual hubz an intake, etc.)more than a Calmini control arm lift. (really!) If you are bent on new braided hoses, I would suggest Darlington Off Road's plastic-coated units... My 2 centz-
