Leveling kit install time???????

MansfieldTitan · 11-16-2005, 10:58 AM

Guys,

I am probably going to end up getting this kit but was wondering how long the install takes for both front and rear? Looking to get the 2.5" front and 1" rear. Thanks.

If you know what your doing and have the right tools maybe an hour ? Greg did my front in just 30 minutes and didnt rush it.

What if you don't know what you're doing? Any install links?
Thanks

The web site that I know about for the PRG lift kit install looked like it was a complete fuster cluck. But there was alot of Zima involved.

The DR coilovers are a piece of cake.

Hmmmmmmm, memo to brain: Light beer during install, NO Zima!

I watched him do it and it was pretty simple, if I had the tools I would have prolly done it in about a hour to hour half ( very precise ) I'm anal when it comes to working on things. His webiste should have instructions if not you can find it on here.

Greg would always help in some way anyway if you had questions.

I had no idea what I was doing and didn't have the right tools and it took me about 5 hours.

A good part of that was me trying to get a bolt off that was stuck, running to the hardware store for a breaker bar.

Installed my PRG 2" leveling kit for my 2006 Titan SE 4x4 KC this past weekend.

If Greg is listening, you may want to update your installation instructions to include a critical step when you go to bolt the strut (with your spacer installed on top) back onto the truck. You actually need to turn the strut a complete 180 degrees from the way it came off to bolt it back on to the frame. Or, you will find yourself in an impossible situation when attempting to line up the lower strut mount for reinstallation of the bolt and nut.

Maybe this is obvious for most folks, but it can be very frustrating especially when the 3 bolts on the strut line up perfectly to the frame, regardless of how you turn the strut to reinstall it back onto the frame.

Sorry that I had to call and wake you up at 6:30 PST on Saturday morning, but the installer and I were at a complete stand still.

All in all, I am very satisfied with the end result (the truck actually looks like a 4x4 now) and I can't really tell a difference in the ride and suspension. The alignment seems to be OK as well.

Unless Greg recommends it, I don't think I'll be carrying my Titan to an alignment shop.

Forgot to mention that it took around 1 hour and a half for the entire installation. The first one took the longest, but the second one went on in a matter of minutes.

I'm partial to Greg's (PRG) kit.

Nick. You have a PM.

I thought I held the record for longest time. Mine was about 4-4.5 hours. I took my time, made sure I did it right, did it with the jack that came with the truck, had no help, and also had to make a run to the store for a deep well socket to get after that bump stop nut.

Speaking of which, a list of the "right tools" would be nice to avoid the "running to the store to pick up a 'X' during the install". Besides the deep well socket and a nice hydraulic jack, what other tools might one require?

Same here... about 4 hours. I managed to pull some muscles in my back on the first side. I was hurting for about a week. lol
