I just completed the rear shackles on my 2008 Nissan Frontier. Here is just a helpful hint. You won't need to use a pry bar if you remove the shocks.

had to look twice. I measured and there is a significant height distance at the front. Nice. I have a 2.5 lift. actual is 2" when I checked the manufacture. 2" in the rear which leaves the back still 1" higher than the front.

Two years later. Have the UCAs been making contact with the coil buckets? Did you have to change them? I'm looking to do that now.

You may want to look at springs in addition to the spacers. I just built a front-mount receiver that's concealed within the factory bumper for my '15, it's heavy enough t take around a quarter inch off my ride height. When I put the winch on a slide-in mount into the receiver I'm down somewhere between 3/4" and 1" from stock. Still haven't settled on what springs I'm going to go with, or what shocks. If I go sort of OE, R51 Nissan Pathfinders had an optional V8, and the front coils were a little bit longer than the factory V6 coils common to both the Pathfinder and the Frontier. They're a possible contender. I'm also looking at aftermarket springs, but haven't yet evaluated shock travel into the equation. I wouldn't mind gaining around an inch of extra height over the stock ride height pre-changes but I don't want to go too crazy.

what I wonder about with the "In addition to" part...it seems like a spacer is going to compress the spring. If you get stiffer springs on top of the spacer compression, wouldn't the truck feel like you're riding on rocks? Wouldn't be better if you need stiffer springs just to get springs and better shocks and ditch the spacer? Just asking.

I did check the tire clearance. and your tire can be 75. I have 265x70x16 and there is a lot of room all around especially height. However I found out about titan swap. I'm working on that now. there is some added costs but not that much.

@@armandoarroyo I ended up selling the frontier in 2022. I ended up not needing them. The dealer said there was no issue with them stock ones. I would say if you want to buy them just to make sure then go ahead and get them just in case you need them. Every place requires something different. It’s mainly for alignment purposes if I remember correctly. Sometimes with some kits the stock bolts aren’t long enough.

I did; I went an entire year and only took it on one off road trip. I was letting one of my employees use it for work, but it really wasn't ideal for that. Just didn't make sense to keep it if I was too busy to use it. This truck takes its place for work and the occasional overland trip, and I bought a 2nd frontier for my son to drive.

Hey I just installed the Supreme suspensions 3/2" kit which is very similar to the RC kit. However, the rear shackles didnt give me the full 2 inches in lift (only about a half inch - 1) and appeared to almost instantly cause my leaf springs to start forming a "W" instead of the arch they had before. Now my truck is borderline "squatting" and i cant seem to find any help online as to WHY the rear shackles didnt work as they should. Im considering removing the shackles and reinstalling my OEM shackles to preserve the life of my leafsprings and going the AAL route.

@vashman01 Жыл бұрын
Supreme changed their lift kit and replaced the shackles with blocks that fit between the axle and the leaf springs. Doesn't mess with the springs that way and you get the full 2" out of it.

Nice video but I'd never go rough country. Way over priced for a couple blocks of aluminum and couple of plates of metal. I paid right around 30 dollars for my no name spacer kit online. My spacers have held up great for the past 8 months. I haven't had to re tighten them or make any other adjustments so far.
