Just a heads up:

I called a shop about this kit, as i was interested in it. The shop owner that installed this kit, said the truck's owner RARELY drove it. Had nothing to do with the mileage, loss of performacne or anything, but rather that it was scary to drive. He said that there was no turning radius, and that the bodyroll was downright freaky. But who knows...he could've been pulling my leg, hahaha.

Thats pretty accurate actually. Those kits are sketchy

How about CST? And whats it gonna do to my factory warranty?

The CST kit is very well made just pricey. The onyl real downside in my opinion is the lack of high end shocks but you can add those seperatley.

Also, the CST kit requires some cutting and welding. PC does not I believe. This may not be a concern if you're skilled in metal fab or will have a pro shop do the install, but if you want to sell your truck, the CST can't be returned to stock without more cutting and welding.

In addition, there are dozens of threads on here about the different lifts.

CST vs. Procomp

Greg at PRG is very knowledgable and can guide you through the many options to fulfill your specific needs. Give him a call.

The CST kit is a great kit, but as kartman said, pricey. If you want to get this kit, and plan on taking it off road, look into getting the total chaos UCAs; this would provide you with a bit more travel over the CST UCAs.

He's also right: Call Greg @ PRG. He answered all my questions patiently, and has the best customer service out there. Just be sure to ask him questions, and he can give you the best answers for your truck

i dont know anything about cst but i can tell you that if the dealership can prove that any aftermarket part caused the malfunction warranty will not cover the repair. also if you modify the frame or weld on it, it is considered frame damage. if you try to trade in the vehicle it will kill its value. when i appraise a car and it has frame damage or a modification to the frame the vehicle is worth about 4000 less and in some cases just cut the kelly blue book value in half and thats what its worth. if you are concerned about your trade in value then you need to do a kit that will not modify the frame. as far as warranty just make sure when and if a problem ever happens make sure they cannot prove that it was caused by the lift.

ok well since y'all dont like bulletproof and all wut other companies can give a big lift. But also doesnt a big lift always give you a small turning radius and body roll??

CVTITAN · 09-19-2006, 11:48 AM

I've talked to people with the lift and they were not to happy with its drivability. The trucks had alignment issues and a vibrations in the steering while driving. So I guess its not for daily drivers. But it sure looks cool.

although you have a point, you also have to take into account the drivability of the lift. For a daily driver, most people wouldn't want to get a lift that requires a 12' turning radius just to get into a parking space. Same thing with bodyroll, you wouldn't want your passenger to be able to touch the ground when making a left turn.

That has never been my experience. I have always had lifted or lowered rides and when I traded them in I always got KBB, or very close to it. If the lift is done with a reputable kit like CST, Fabtech, ProComp, etc. it will be worth what the market bears, which is usually every bit as much, if not more, than a non-modified truck.

I went to BulletProofSuspension.net and there is NO info @ all on the Nissan Titan Kits / The website says "coming soon" so then I tried to email the contact address info@bulletproofsuspension.net and immediately got a reply that "email delivery failed" . Where are you guys finding this kit? Who are you buying it from? What are the options? What is the cost? THANKS !

I drove a truck with the Bulletproof suspension, I couldn't get out of it fast enough! They turned a nice truck into a pile of garbage! I have driven CST and Febtech trucks, either one worked really nice, but I liked the CST a little better as far as ride goes (stock shocks on both).
