And it was a pain in the arse! Not really that bad but ran into a few problems. Of course when I got to the final block in the rear the dang wheel wouldn't come off. I had discount tire rotate and balance my tires on the second and they cross threaded my lug nuts. I noticed that quite a few we're mucked up but 3 on the back wouldn't even turn. I called discount and at first they tried to say that they couldn't have done it since their impacts only go blah blah blah. Them told me to break them off and a local shop would replace them. Here is the damage that they couldn't have done lol.
And here are picks of the truck I can't drive with only 3 lug nuts.

Why did you pull the wheel off to put the block on the back?

My jack and jack stands were purchased to work on my trailblazer ss and couldn't get the block in with the tires on. That or I'm an idiot and there was an easier way I don't know about. That's a very good possibility :D

I just undid the bolts, jacked up one side by the leaf spring (axle and wheels stayed on the ground), put the block in, lowered everything and tightened it up, then moved over to the other side.
 
Looks good! What are you going to do about the threads?

Damn, wish I would have done it that way! Would have been a heck of a lot easier...

Discount tire has a shop that repairs all their lug damage that I'm taking it to tomorrow. It's free but I'm without my truck and have to get a ride to work but its all good I guess.

No ****! I though about jacking it up by the springs but wasn't sure so I did it the hard way. Next time...
 
Do u guys know if rc or another site will.allow me to just pick.and choose the parts I want for.instance I already have a bils 5100. Topped out on the top perch but its still got.like a 3/4 to 1/2 in rake I'm the front ideally I'd like to njust g the ucas. And.Leave. out the. ****ty spacer. In exchange for the 08 coils Wata u guys think? Any feedback would be appreciated I'm new to this site but.Ur info seems accurate . Ps sorry for. The typos and buttload of periods I'm using my phone haha
 
RC will just sell you the uca's if you call them or discuss with the online chat. They quoted me something like $235 for them.
 
You can go onto the RC site, pick the 2" leveling spacer add it to your cart, then the UCA's will show up as an add on item, add them and then when you go to the cart, delete the spacer and all that is left is the UCA's $229 + shipping.
 
You can get those seperate too, 29.99 plus shipping

For anyone that is interested, I ran with the 1.5" tall spacers from RC which I was told they net 2.5" of lift. Like an idiot I didn't take before measurements but I installed 1.5" rear blocks and it sits pretty level. It seems like I got a lot of lift up front. I have not had any CBC that I know of but just looking at the control arms I could in no way add the bilsteins to it without going to a smaller spacer. I think I would be fine with a 1.5" net spacer and the bils and if I could go back I probably would have gone this route.
 
09pro4xtx so wats Ur set up up front and how's the ride off-road. Are the ucas even worth it.if.there's no coil bucket contact at.all waht are the other advantages of having the ucas? And thanks fishing Alaska how do those endlinks work put they junk r will they hold up under some abuse

I just have the rough country 3" kit up front which includes the spacers, uca's and the endlinks. They send a slightly shorter spacer for the pro-4x models though. I couldn't have gone more than 1.5" in the front without the aftermarket uca's. The stock ones were pretty close to the coil bucket with just the spacers. Haven't been off-road yet but I'd say overall the rough country kit seems pretty solid. Only time will tell if it holds up though.
 
So you have the Pro4x which is factory built with adjustable shocks.

I guess you had the shocks all the way on highest level/notch before RC kit.
The kit you installed was the front lift/ucas and rear lift right I think 2.5 front/ 1.5 rear?

Either way man I love the stance your truck has now and this is exactly what I want just as soon as I can get christmas/birthdays out of the way.
So I guess my question which I asked and expected everyone to recognize is on my 06 Titan SE 4x4 with the 3" RC kit will I get the same/similar stance?

Thanks guys I have this item stored in my favorites just waiting till first of the year going to lift and go with new rims/tires. I want to get the stance done before I pick my wheel/tire setup.
SO many things I want to do but that rake has got to go soon.

Pro4X's don't come with adjustable struts, unless they just started doing it.
A RC leveling kit will give you 2.5" of lift but will probably give you coil bucket contact if you upgrade to the Bilstein 5100 struts.

If you get a PRG 1.5", (net), leveling kit and 5100's, you can get 3" of lift without coil bucket contact, and use your stock UCA's, (which are strong enough ... aftermarket UCA's just allow for a taller spacer). There's really no point to going with a '08+ coil either, unless you get the HD struts instead, since they don't have the different spring perch positions like the 5100's, so the longer '08+ 4x4 coil will give you some preload lift, like the 5100 perch's do with the stock coil. You don't need both 5100's and a longer coil, unless you're already on the top perch of the 5100's, but the ride would sux ... due to lack of droop travel. That's why a little lift from the PRG 1.5" leveling kit and a little from the 5100's is the way to go.
 
The Pro4x does not come with adjustable shocks, they come with Ranchos that are Nissan made but Rancho branded. Your stance would be similiar but not exacly, to get level you would be looking at closer to a 2.5" in the front and a 1" block in the back. Best way to know, is measure your wheel well height on both the front and the back. Then to see what your stance would be like, throw a jack under the front and lift it by the frame 2.5", most likely your wheels will stay on the ground and it will give you a good idea of the before and after.

Not sure about swift's '06 4x4, but on my '04 4x4, with the Big Tow overload leaf, it takes a full 3" up front to completely level it, and no blocks in the back. Lots of rake.
