These post's are rough to chew on,I think <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

But let's be honest with ourself's........
The same parts are needed to lift your 2wd as is the 4wd version.

The front of your truck can be aligned without the calmini upper arms,I don't believe they are needed on a 2nd gen rodeo like they help out on the first gens.

I cannot badmouth calmini since I haven't dealt with them,I have seen their products and honestly do not believe the extra parts will be needed for a 3" lift......they are nice add on's to go the next step and put in 2" spacer for the rear springs and crank the front up another 1" or 2".

Call either Matt at independant or joe at darlington offroad they will talk with you and ship you what you need.

Calmini's kit will work but the added exspence to lift your truck 3-5" isn't worth it.

This is my .02 and does not reflect any paid advertising <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

There are several 2wd lifted 2nd gens there is atleast one on this board and check out cardomain.com for others.....
goodluck
