PRG kit installed!

[kc^2]

I finally got around to installing my leveling kit (2" on '05 2WD CC) and all I can say is I wish I had done it sooner. To anyone debating it I say it's well worth the money. The install was easy and took me about 3 hours from start to finish. The second side went a lot faster than the first and the hardest part was disconnecting the link on the sway bar. That and a couple of the nuts were tough. Eventually, I figured out some tricks that helped me.

As for the finished product, obviously I think it looks better but the best part is the way it feels. I don't feel like I'm falling into the steering wheel all the time now. Actually, I think it makes the truck feel bigger too. The only problem I had is the Nissan dealer claims they can't align the front end now that it's been raised. I wanted them to do it while the brakes were getting fixed.

Anyway, if you're considering it, buy it and save the money and install it yourself. Easy as pie if you have the basic tools (and a floorjack helps).

Dealer wont aligne IT! BS, I have never heard of this. I did the prg on my truck and my wifes frontier and had them both aligned at the dealership and they knew why I was getting them aligned. Try another dealer.

Is the dealer copping out on you because you have straight bolts instead of the cam bolts & washers which all these trucks should come with?

I called BS on it too but since I got there late in the day the service rep told me everyone who knew the details was gone. These idiots have installed lift kits on other Titans as well as many other vehicles. Unfortunately, they're the only Nissan dealer here. I'm taking it to another shop tomorrow who charges less anyway.

I had excessive choppiness on front at 5000 miles, installed PRG Kit then had aligned under warranty. Good thing I had already taken 3 weeks to order that camber bolt so it didn't hold up the alignment (little stock locally). I can't imagine what they saved by using almost identical bolt with centered washer. Ordered bolts before I realized alignment problem, oh well. The point is, the Camber was listed as being at fault!!! I expected Toe or bad shocks (never felt anything though).

Happy for now. I think PRG rear acts like JetTech springs a bit, I still got to add extra bolts to the Springs to eliminate squeeks. Together, it is even more solid. Love the Titan's Ride now...

Ditto the others - your steeler is full o' shee-eyt.

Good job on installing yourself. I had much the same experience.

I just did the leveling kit on my 06 and have noticed that my truck came with straight bolts and not the camber bolt/washer setup. Where can I order the correct bolts/washer setup so that I can have the camber fixed?

If you do not have cam bolts for your alignment, DO NOT PAY FOR THESE!!! There is a Nissan TSB out on it. You will get a free alignment out of it too. Just tell them the truck pulls to the side sometimes when going down the freeway. Let them know that you know about the TSB on it and they probably won't try to BS you. Here's a link to it: Print it out and take it with you. The TSB number is: 05097

Cool and thanks.

Don't forget to lower your headlights.

[titanmike]

did some newer trucks come with cam bolts or does that tsb refer to all trucks?

How can I tell which my titan has before the warranty runs out ina couple 1000?

I know after I installed the PRG kit my alignment was set but greg told me that there was hardly any more adjustment... What would I do if I wanted to put a real lift on it now? I think my steering would permanently be off..

titanmike:
Not all Titans came with the cam bolts installed from the factory. I think they stopped installing them in mid 05.

Justintoxicated:
To see if you have the bolts, just look under the front end where the control arms attach to the frame. If there are bolts that have funny washers with hash marks on them you have the cam bolts already. When you install an aftermarket lift on the truck, they almost always come with some kind of bolt or something to get the alignment back in specs.

I noticed that too, even worse while I was towing a trailer with my car on it. I guess I am just used to my Audi which has self leveling head lights.
