I'm building up my '08 Xterra and looking to beef up the suspension. With stock suspension the rear hits the stops without much effort on dirt road dips when I have gear in the car. I would also like to add an ARB style front bumper and I assume the extra weight would need some stiffening as well.
Also, I will need to make sure there's adequate room for 32" or 33" tires, like: 255/85 @ 33", or 245/85 @ 32.5", or 265/75 @ 31.6" - haven't decided yet and I'll ask for suggestions on that on a different thread unless you want to add that in your response. Any help is appreciated.
I've looked at ARB Old Man EMU = $1300 for parts + $300-600 for installation. I can do a lot of work on my vehicle but I don't know that I have all the tools available to deal with suspension - that's a new area for me. But are there better or less expensive options that will still give me some decent results? Would I get adequate performance with an added spring in the rear and some high end shocks/struts?
