Suspension Travel?

[red87]

How much travel are you guys/gals getting out of the front of a Gen 1 Frontier/Xterra with aftermarket UCAs? I'm cross shopping those with 4Runners and Tacomas and I can get travel numbers for those but I haven't found any for the Nissans yet.

In the front...not sure maybe 1/2" down travel but up travel is around five or six inches. I have it set for maximum height more than anything. I'm probably going to crank down the torsion bars and pickup some more downtravel to make the ride smoother.

The rear is a different story that I can't really answer accurately. I have revolver shackles on the rear so I have a huge amount of down and about seven or eight of up. I can seriously tuck any corner I want. In full flex I have around 16 or 17 inches (that's a memory guess) from the top of my 32's to the flender flare.

I'm running the Calmini UCA's up front.

Cool, thanks. So it sounds like the UCAs don't add very much travel at all then.

feels like none... honestly I hate the little travel we have on the xterra..

The travel is the same with or without the aftermarket UCAs, they just help with alignment issues when the front gets jacked up.
