OME/PRG lift and 255/85 KM2s for 2014 Xterra

[proper4wd]

PRG "Deaver" 2-leaf AAL rear, OME HD front, 255/85R16 BFG KM2's installed yesterday.

I've put about 20 miles on the set up so far and I think it's great. The stiff suspension and tires really transforms the Xterra into the SUV I knew it could be.

I am running it with a ~80lb RTT bolted to the factory rack, plus about 100 pounds of other cargo in the rear and I think it may sit a little higher in the front, but there is no added weight up front yet (winch and winch mount coming soon).

Overall, very impressed with the ride (and it looks great). Will try to offer more feedback after I've spent more time with it.

Nice! What RTT did you get?

Any pics of the rig?

I'd love to see the attachment of the RTT if you can.

ARB RTT. I'll take a few photos today. The RTT is just bolted through the factory tubes with stainless steel bolts. Nothing to it.

Pictures would be killer.

Quick photo


Roof tent attachment... 5/16" stainless bolt through a hole drilled in the aluminum tube. I used a large, thick rubber washer between the tent frame extrusion and the rack tube just to provide some extra "grip". This has been rock solid for 5000+ miles and 10+ nights spent in the rtt.


This is not my permanent solution for the rtt... this winter I hope to build or buy a super low profile full rack that will lower the entire tent by 5 inches.

I'm digging it. And good call with getting that cog low
