Another "Thanks PRG" thread. SAW coilovers, TC UCAs, Radflo rears.
Well, you see em all the time but heres another. This man is just great to deal with. I must have called him at least 8 times. I think one of those times I was on the phone with him for close to 30 minutes, and another he was riding with Kartman in his truck, lol. Every phone call he did his best to help me choose what I wanted and never rushed me. Always gave great information and different options based on goals and budget. Ended up deciding on Sway-A-Way coilovers, Total Chaos Upper A-arms, and Radflo Rear shocks. Turn around time was great. Got everything just in time for the holiday weekend. Installed everything myself, solo. Took it to the dealer for an alignment today and felt the wrath of Nissan not building the '06s with cam bolts and washers. But it rides awesome. Cant wait for the rain that is predicted to come this week so I have an excuse to get it dirty. Front is set at about 3.75" of lift with stock height in rear (thats how I like it). Truck is a 06 CC LE 4X4 non-BT, non-OR. Thanks again Greg! On to the pics.

Out in Henderson also. Off of Boulder Hwy. and Racetrack. Yeah wheels and tires are next on the list. Want something along the lines of either A.R. Mojaves, ProComp 1079, or M.T. Classic locks. Something with a simulated beadlock. Figured a polished wheel with a black beadlock would look pretty good. Probably 17s if I can find some that will fit properly with some tires in the 33"-34" range, maybe even 18s. Gotta figure out what will fit correctly, I don't really understand backspacing and offset very well and dont want the wheels to stick out a ton.
Just got home from the first ride off asphalt and I am extremely happy. It does exaclty what I told Greg I wanted it to do. Go 60 over washboard like its nothing. Truck feels so nice and under control, exactly what I was seeking and then some. Even got to test out my low pressure tire sensors, lol. Got done and noticed the light was on. Sure enough, got out and the pass rear tire was hissing loudly. Glad this thing came with those, I definately would not have noticed it so soon. If only the tire shops were open later. Oh well, will have to get it fixed tomorrow and will have to get some better tires in the near future. Anybody considering a setup like this should pull the trigger and get it, its awesome.
Took it to the dealer for an alignment today and felt the wrath of Nissan not building the '06s with cam bolts and washers.
How difficult was it to get the alignment done? I thought it was the other way around where the 06 came with the cam bolts and the 04 and 05 did not.

Nah, the 06 has no cam bolts or washers and certain 05s built after a particular date. See www.nissanhelp.com for specifics. It was not hard at all from what I could tell, the tech managed to get it aligned very well based on what the printout says. Hardest part was giving my dealer my credit card and letting em charge $270 on it for an alignment, lol.
