Canadian Nissan Truck Club

If you plan on running 33's, plan on steering soon then later. Mine died after my first run out.

I think the olny thing I would buy for the lift from the States would be the UCA's and shackles. Get your leafs done at a local spring shop, it will save you $$. I know of a few shops in the KW area; thats if you're piecing it together... and shocks you can grab at CT or Partsource. Just find the ri...

Make sure you go to Nissan and buy cam bolts. There is a 99.9999% chance you will need to cut the old ones out. oh, and also make sure whatever kit you go with comes with new balljoints. If not, you will nedd some of them too.

Oh, My cost break down:

SL - $1500 ish
BL - $250
Steering - $600 ish
Tires - $1200
Rims - $200 - cheap, bought them from Drew.
New leaf pack (mine died a horrible death) - $500 ish.

Add it up.. it sucks. Its over 4k. This doesn't include all the poop that breaks. food for thought.

If I had to do it all again... I would save a whole lot of $$. Forget the SL. PML and a 2" BL will fit 33's. IF you just do shackles and turn your torsion bars plus the BL, i'm sure you'll be happy. I've been running my set up for 3 ish years now. I'm on my 4th set of upper ball joints, have to...

oh...

My truck?

Hellcheyaa for the Bender Built! Other then mine needing another coat of paint (which I did in the first place) Its my favorite aftermarket piece on my truck.

Also a scray feeling when both of your UCA bushings and lower BJ's are gone

Just to clear it up. I'm not against winter buns. A few years back my GF got stuck 3 times leaving my house. I told her to take my truck that day and I would take her car so she would feel safe (yes, my truck did have the MT's on her ;) ) So off I was... fak. I didn't know how bad her car was in the...

I think telling someone to stay off the roads with MT's is a little harsh. Its winter, we all need to change our driving habits. I've run my BFG MT's (33x12.5's) for the last three winters. Yeah, they slip... But you just need to slow down and take it easy. If you're going to drive like an asshole, ...

Dude....



SICK!

?? Just another crappy GM product with fancy lights.

BJ's are no problem, done and done. Still waiting on Rancho to get back to me.

So Bigbird sent me a PM about the lower BJ's. He says its the 99's that will fit. I thought they were all tha same (99-04) I can grab ball joints from an 01 for $75 from partsource.... Just need to be sure before I order em.

SO I need to replace my Rancho upper control arm bushings and lower ball joints. For the UCA's, I have emailed Rancho about the bushings... I hope to hear back soon. I was looking on the Calmimi site and they sell replacement bushings. Will those suckers fit into my Rancho Arm? And just to make sure...

I'm soo disappointed in this thread after finding out you are talking about a different kinda rack...


Your rack does look good man.

Cut them out, buy new ones?

I have a couple really nice dings from rocks... but I'm runnin 33's with an off set rim. Stock, you'll be fine.
