i am right there with you as you can see!!!! i say do it, a lower COG and bigger tires never hurt! to each his own no matter which way you go once you do it and get it done right you wont be unhappy.....its impossible to be dissatisfied with these trucks

So TJTJ...Does this sound like I did everything correct. I would like to address any issues before I take it into the shop. I hate to waste the techs time by making things more difficult.... I agree I can't see the alignment not being trashed after cranking stuff. Especially cranking one side way way more than the other. Going to get it aligned tomorrow (if I can find a shop). I think the last guy who aligned the truck a few months ago...

Pure awesome!! So far I am very happy with my truck, just a few small quirks but...

Oh, and Stevin, no idea how long the SAS will take. I am imagining that the axles will take about 5 months to build up considering I already have a lot of the stuff. Here is a pic of the rear. The drums have come off and I have this disc brake conversion kit http://www.greatlakeoffroad.com/disc.html Here is the diff cover. I have one for the front and rear already http://www.ballisticfabrication.com/...D_p_1592.html# Here is a picture of the...

I'm only aware of brake line extensions and that's it. You will still be able to install the AAL but don't drive anywhere that's going to let the axle flex until you can get the extensions. Again though, this may not be REQUIRED but more of a recommendation. See if this helps: http://www.clubxterra.org/forums/showthread.php?t=5256

You got me at the right time man. I had a tape measure on my table and was 20 feet from my X. How did it turn out? Chuck

The distance from the Bump stop is equal on each side. I hope this is right. It measures: 34.75 in the back (both...

OK, most of you that have looked around at shocks for your X have more than likely looked at the rancho rs5000. Every where that has this shock available, insists that they will only fit an xterra if it has a 3" lift on it. NOT TRUE! I ordered a set last week and had them installed today after arguing with the service manager at sears for 30 min. I know most of you are loyal to the bilstein products and im sure that bilstein is the...

Why is La Rana's rig called the frog ?

The BL is not necessary but I dont think hes running any lift at all right now, which would require an insane amount of...
