tbars not necessary for pml. Of course it doesn't hurt anything to have new ones, but adjusting the stock ones does not put any more stress on them at all.

Personally, I would stay away from Calmini altogether.

i have heard some not so good things about there products, but they seem to offer stuff that no one else does and usually reasonably priced

if you really want them get them from 4x4parts.com they sell sway-away.... but it is up to you... now are yu planning to get a SL in the near future if so if you by the package they come with t-bars

IS SAY ONLY GE TTHE SWAY AWAY IF YOU ARE GETTING A HEAVY BUMPER
they are 30% stiffer and without the added weight to the front end it will totally kill your flex(what little you had in the first place will be gone)
to this day i regret getting the tbars i got, i should have opted for 10% stiifer rather than 30%, now they handle fantastice on the road, i love the responsiveness, but for offroad, get a softer tbar than the sway away, but if you love the tippy feeling by all means get the sway aways

I have also got mixed reactions about the Calmini lift. The real problem is .....there just isn't alot of choices now. I talked to the guy who helped me build my Titan, and that's why Im just going to do the 3/2 mini lift. It doesn't cost a lot, and I can do it myself.
I also remember when everyone said I was crazy if I wanted a body lift on the Titan, but I had no problems after with it, I say just be sure you know what your getting into, and what it would take to get back out of it. Best of luck! Jer
btw..if you do it..pics plz:)
