    For the front, you will only need upper control arms. You can get them from AC, Calmini or SLR. SLR is only in production on a small-scale now and will only take orders by email. He doesn't advertise or has an active website but maybe somebody here has the email you will need. I can get it if...

    I wouldn't go with that package either. The AAL actually counters the benefit of the revolver shackles. They inhibit the flex of the springs greatly. A friend of mine runs that setup and he gets less flex than I do and I'm only running the AC lift shackles and OEM leaf packs. Either go to a...

    High-clearance U-bolt Plates for 1st Gen Xterras

    That is why we plan to put them through a few good trips of abuse before he "releases" them to everyone. I think having two test vehicles with different rear-suspension setups should be able to expose any flaws that will need to be corrected.

    High-clearance U-bolt Plates for 1st Gen Xterras

    Cool. I'm hoping to hear from him late next week on the progress. I've been trying to contain myself from bugging the crap out of him daily. :drool:

    Correct trae. Unfortunately PRG only offers products for the 2nd gens (2005+). Which stinks for us because he does make some very nice and quality stuff. Along with Calmini, check out AC (www.4x4parts.com) and Rugged Rocks (www.ruggedrocksoffroad.com) for all of your aftermarket needs...

    High-clearance U-bolt Plates for 1st Gen Xterras

    Just to add... my Xterra and the other Xterra that will be testing these should cover most if not all types of rear suspension builds. My X only runs the AC lift shackles with long travel shocks and my buddy's X has the AAL and revolver shackles. Together, we should be able to expose the full...

    High-clearance U-bolt Plates for 1st Gen Xterras

    http://www.extremerocrigs.com/ He has been fabricating custom offroad parts for many years but now that he has his shop established, he is looking to expand his business into the SUV/truck market for the weekend warriors as well. He has wheeled with me on several occasions and really wants to...

    High-clearance U-bolt Plates for 1st Gen Xterras

    This is just a feeler thread for now to see how much interest is out there for high-clearance u-bolt plates for the leaf-packs on 1st gens. For those that remember the UB Skidderz, this is the same concept and similar design. They are in the design/prototype phase currently with Extreme Roc...

    Sell my on a frontier or tacoma.

    If you haven't already, check out www.clubfrontier.org. Granted, you'll probably get some biased responses but at the same time, there would be some valid points to consider. As for the price difference, I wouldn't attribute it to inferior parts but more on reputation and resale value...

    Sell my on a frontier or tacoma.

    What year model Frontier are you considering? The only years that really had a suspect front-end were from '05 to '07. A good number of reports of blown front-diffs which was found to be a result of a rapid heat-treatment on the gears which made them brittle. That process along with a few...

    Glad to have met you Jonathan and really glad you enjoyed the day with all of the IFS turtles. :p That is one incredible rig you have. That just adds to the SAS itch I've been fighting for the past year. :) You will have to get up with us this fall when we go to Coal Creek. Can't remember if...

    Torsion bars maxed. what next?

    Pick up a set of Bilstein HD's from www.4x4parts.com that are for a 3" lift. They will compress to stock length but will give you the full benefits of added droop when you get aftermarket UCA's. My rec on uca's would be to go with AC over Calmini. Call Volrick at AC (4x4parts) and talk to...
