Hopefully this helps those on the fence about installing a lift / leveling kit on their Nissan Titans. I took my 2017 Pro4X to Crazy Town Customs in Nashville, TN on Wednesday for the Rough Country 3" Suspension Lift. I was able to pick the truck up Thursday evening, but it was a little too late in the day to get a good picture. Woke up today and snapped some shots when I got to work. The ride is PERFECT! Having the factory installed Bilstein shocks on the Pro4X helps maintain the factory ride. I live about 15 miles south of Nashville and experience both highway AND city driving on multiple types of road surfaces throughout the day. So far so good! With that being said, I have experienced ZERO coil bucket contact while hitting all sorts of potholes and bumps. As far as ride height is concerned, to say it is noticeable is an understatement. It's a HUGE step up from factory (in a good way). I have already gotten several looks and questions about it. So if you're on the fence, just go for it! If you have any questions, just ask and I'll do my best to answer them. If I can't, I will certainly holler at the guys who installed it and see if they have the answer. My next project will include some more aggressive 295/70R18 tires, Rough Country fender flares, and Bora wheel spacers.


*As a sidenote...Let me just say that for those who live in the Nashville area, I 100% recommend the guys at Crazy Town Customs. Very knowledgable and kept me up to date throughout the entire process. These guys have built multiple trucks for some recent Jason Aldean music videos (hence the name "Cray Town" Customs). Anyways, looking forward to the next project and will definitely be using these guys once again!

Haven’t had enough drive time to tell any difference in MPG’s, but I don’t expect TOO big a difference as I still have the factory treads mounted. I had the shop order the parts ahead of time then dropped the truck off Wednesday around lunch when they arrived. Early Thursday evening I got a call that the install / alignment was complete and truck was ready to be picked up. Will definitely update the MPG’s after a week of good drive time. On looks alone, you won’t be disappointed!

Per Rough Country's website, the 3" Lift Kit is exactly the same for ALL Titans from 04-18. I absolutely love it and have gotten a bunch of positive comments on it. Have been pouring on the miles since I picked it up last Thursday evening and gas mileage has stayed the same. I attribute this to keeping the stock treads for the time being. You won't be disappointed!

Not as of yet. Then again, I haven’t taken it wheeling either, just normal everyday driving until I can order a set.

2” Bora spacers. However, you will need to do the pinch weld mod as the tires will rub a bit. Once that is done though, no rub whatsoever.

Correct, I stuck with the factory Bilsteins and have not had a SINGLE issue with ride quality since the kit was installed. Still going strong...

Thanks I appreciate it! I'll have to measure the clearance tomorrow. They are not Tyger. Some ebay knock off. iArmor

It definitely is more pre-runner looking now. It doesn't look as lifted now to the eye compared to before

Hello there I know this post is back from 2017 but I had a question about this lift kit I’m looking to purchase the 3 inch kit from rough country the one that comes with the control arms and spacers all for around 400$ my question is , was it necessary to
Install the rear blocks for it to be completely level It ? If I just do the front part of it and and install control arms and the front spacer but skip doing the rear blocks would it be more lifted up front at that point ? Seems like the spacers for the front is enough to level it but I could be wrong.

If you lift the front 3", and don't lift the back, you'll be around 1-1.5" nose-up. Level is usually around 1.5" front lift for Titans.

I can't speak definitively about the 2017, but I can tell you yes, you should get camber bolts. There are cheap and expensive options. Moog is a good brand that is good value. And your steering wheel centering is part of alignment. The shop will get that right for you. Or at least, a competent shop will get that right for you.
