It’s an old USMC term sorry it offends your thin skin. I don’t make vids for thumbs up, I only make vids to help others, that’s the sole purpose of the vid.

lol. Yah it’s just an old military saying.

@@HardEnduro8 LoL that's what my cousin used to always do, Marines and Coast Guard. Thank you for your sacrifice 🙏🏼

No issues with that set up. It actually worked very well. I have since gone full Titan Swap as I started to do more rock crawling and harder lines.

Nice

Do you have the 4600 or 5100?

Thanks

Yeah man. The bilsteins and upper control arms are a good set up for sure. Ran my rig like that for years.

Thanks. Total chaos eBay clones for the upper.

@@HardEnduro8 can't find them on Ebay , could you please share a link or seller name ? thank you so much

Thanks. Don’t think you can with Fronty Bilsteins and 3” spacer. That’s not enough lift. Usually you need about min 4” lift for the Titan swap to work correctly as the mounting points on the lowers are pushed out 3” on each side.

Very little contact at all. These eBay upper arms. Total chaos clones *

Lowest setting, but I had 3” spacer. Worked really well.

Don’t think you can. U have to run specific shocks for the drop bracket lift.

No I kept the spacer vs adjusting the bilstein. The reason is when I went to use the spring compressor it put sooo much pressure on the spring to collapse it enough to do the lift seemed like the ride was going to be really harsh. With the spacer on top, compressed the spring to stock height and it seemed like it worked better as the spring was not nearly as compressed and the ride quality was much better. Hard to explain but you’ll see when you install it. It takes a ton of pressure to get that spring in the top notch.

Because when u compress the spring that much it makes the ride really harsh and limits the travel of the shock. When u use the spacer it relocates the shock lower but doesn’t limit the travel as much as compressed spring would.

Also did it help bring the front diff up as well? Other wise did it put the front axle higher up then the hub so the CVs are going downwards to the hub? Reason i ask is i did a calmini DB and my axle now sits lower then my hub so the CVs are pointing downwards from the hub to the axle instead of the other way, so if this picked up your front axle y 3/4 of a inch then im for sure going to do this.

Jeston Hickle No I got the AM upper control arms for the bucket issue and it’s a much stronger part then OEM. Plus it has upgraded ball joint and zerk fittings and u can align these were OEM u can’t. IMHO the AM control arms are a must for this vehicle. It was literally the first upgrade part I bought for my truck.

Jeston Hickle the control arms didn’t lift the front at all, they do allow for better articulation over stock. The spacer kit, 33” MT tires and bilstein have lifted my front end about 4”. My CV’s are pointed downward and not stressed. I also disconnected the sway bar. And man that sway bar was limiting suspension articulation in a major way. Sooo mad I didn’t do it sooner. Truck drives SOOO much better now. Both on and off road. My turning radius has also improved.

@@HardEnduro8 so the shocks did pick up the total ground clearance on the front axle?

Jeston Hickle yes. I thought hey would settle and 500 miles later still about 1” higher then before. I set the Bilstein at stock height and left my spacer in. The set up has worked very well so far. I even ordered a set for the rear.

In this video 33’s

Yes. Bilstein makes an extended travel shock. That’s what I used.

@@HardEnduro8 is there a difference between the adjustable and 3inch ones? I assumed the three inch were preset and you could fork a little more for adjustment.

William Wilkin yes exactly. There is different part number for stock 5125 and long travel 5125. Can’t remember for sure , but if you go on there website they will show the 2 different part numbers.

I did. I had 3” spacer lift

Thanks dude. With getting it higher than 3” did you have to mess with brake lines or the drive train at all?

@@kolbietafoya1672 no. That’s about max you can go without spending mad money on long travel. But if you add 33”s mud tires you’ll get an extra 1.5” lift just from the tires. It will sit real nice with 33’s and 3” spacer lift. You be about 4.5 lift all together

I have a 2011 Xterra pro 4x with a 2” spacer and shackles on the rear. I just put 33” mud terrains on it too. Love it but looking at upgrading from the 4600’s to 5100 and this video was informative. Thanks bro

@@kolbietafoya1672 awesome man 👍🏼. I have since gone to full Titan Swap and I’m now on 35’s with 11” of wheel travel. Titan Swap is nice.

Yes sir.

HARD ENDURO I have an 06 pathfinder but it’s the single piece bumper with no chrome. Thinking about Maybe doing some trimming but it won’t be as clean an yours

Garbin’s Garage yeah man do it for. I really like how mine came out. I’ll have update video of my rig soon.

I think second from the bottom

Off road it’s a lot better. Much better articulation. On Frwy u just have to be mindful of slight understeer. Other than that no issues. Love it so far.

Thanks for the response, I’m looking for good replacement front shocks, preferably adjustables, I find the original shocks don’t hold the tire to the road when u hit bumps at 80km/h. Any suggestions?

Ride or Dive Kerry bilsteins all the way. Don’t believe the hype that u need radflo or expensive shocks for the truck to perform well.

I’m going to take your advice, I’ll try to find a set online.

Ride or Dive Kerry I ordered the “extended travel. Make sure u order the right ones. I think they are the 5125’s for the rear.

Not sure what u mean

HARD ENDURO where are you supporting the truck from with the jack stands. Looks like in the front but not sure from where

Pedro Valle it’s the front most cross member.

Got it thank you for the fast reply !

Yes. There are settings for stock height only.

Here are the wheel spacers I used. Just make sure you always get the Hubcentric. rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F382477418134. I added mostly for cosmetic. Gives the truck a good stance, as OEM seemed to hug inside too much.

I brought mine on rough country.

Tom Z nice. Just make sure u use hub centric.

@@HardEnduro8 Nice. I will look into that. Glad I found your page.

I would say yes. The 5100 are a little stiffer than stock and you can order them with 1 inch lift set at stock settings.

@@HardEnduro8 i was thinking of putting the snap rings in the middle or third slot adjustment in order to gain 2'' of lift. i am not into 1 inch lift spacer. thanks for the reply.

Ray Riva that was my plan. However when i used the spring compressor it just didn’t seem right to put all that pressure on the spring and limit the travel. With the spacer it does not apply nearly as much pressure on the spring to get the same lift. You’ll see what I’m talking about once you remove and spring and see how much pressure it would take to hold it in second position. Good luck

@@HardEnduro8 thank you. think lift spacer will stressed cv's?

Thank you for your support.

Yes

I took it out on test run yesterday. Night and day difference. I was not expecting this much change. Ride is excellent, took it through some deep ruts and cross sections off road. Handled very well. More articulation with sway bar removed. Just thinking what took me so long to remove it.

Yes I did.
