Nice work, I could have used this a couple weeks ago before I bought the skyjacker kit. So how thick is the spacer?

 

The spacer is 1.600" thick (+/-.003). I messed with a few starting at 1.900 finished (used 2.0 stock) but it was a bit tall and was a bit difficult to install and I needed to shim the bumpstop. I ended up with this as the best combination. I've been hammering all the big dips in the roads around here and it bottoms much less but rides exactly as stock.

 

That is one sweet looking leveling kit, Nice job on the build might just have to order one from you.

 

I want it. I call first on the list.

 

Just what I have been waiting for

 

i want one

 

Me too!!!!

 

does this lift the front end or lower the back end?

The front.

 

Make a kit that doesn't require me to enlarge an oem mounting location (for the bump stop) and I'd be interested.

 

Well, you could just bolt one on but the stock rubber bump stop is too thin to be effective before the shock compresses fully. You do realize that the hole only needs to be enlarged .021". That is only about 10 hairs. Its just that I cant get the urethane stops to come in an 8mm stud, only 3/8".

 

Sure, I understand that the mounting hole only needs to be enlarge by about 10 hairs. But enlarging the hole even one hair means that you can't go back to stock.

 

so if i am reading all of this right, this spacer goes on top of the entire shock assembly itself and therefore does not interfere with the shocks travel or spring rates?? if so, this is awesome! my biggest worry about the other systems was the change in spring rate/suspension damping and its affect on the ride and handling of the truck. i wont have to worry about blowing out my brand new Ranchos lol

 

Actually Austin, it will go right back to stock as the stock bump is is located by the stud and a small bump on the bottom of the stop (and registers in a small hole in the a-arm). If you were to remount the stock bump, there would really be no difference than stock. Yes, i understand that the mounting hole is slightly larger, but unless the nut became loose on the stud there would be no difference at all. And even then it would not just fall off or anything. Funny you say that about the hole being larger than stock as Nissan used a hole with about 3x more clearance than required for the lower shock mount. I will try and post some more detailed pics in a bit. Thanks to all who are interested, I belive it to be a product that does exactly what it is claims with no ill side effects (ie; shock topping-out, premature spring fatigue, possible coil-binding, etc.)
Exactly KY, that is the goal.

 

Is this for 4x2's or just the 4x4's

 

thanks, is there anyway to lower the back-end? obviously putting weight in it will do it, but is there something else?

 

Greg, what was the final lift? It's a bit hard to tell with your truck parked on a slope.

 

Nice work. I have my credit card ready. I never understood why they didn't just make something like this in the first place. Makes much better sense than going the other route and changing spring rates. Could you post some more shots of your Titan?

 

I'll post some more pics tomorrow. My drive way is on a bit of a slope, I'll get some on level ground. I really didnt want to say an exact number of inches lifted, but on mine it is about 2.3. But I've seen a bit of height difference between stock models. Maybe it should be a 2.25" lift +/- .250. The kit "should" work just the same on a 4x, there will be one installed very soon, so I can get some feedback.
Revielle, a guy I work with is lowering his Titan, as of now a 2.5 inch drop would mean de-arched springs and maybe an airbag as a more progressive spring. I haven't tried it yet though.

 

A wonderful product that may alleviate the uneven look of our trucks and give room for bigger wheels/tires.
If you get a chance, would you post the maximum tire size?
Also don't forget to patent the product which I'm sure you've already started the process.

Shouldn't that avatar be a picture of John Holms? :grimrippe

 

Ok folks, with the spacers installed, the lift is right at 2.5".

 

Already have installed the daystar before hearing about the problems.
The addtion of the bump stops sound like a good idea.
Can I get a set of bump stop with out the spacer for now?

Thanks

 

Jtd, i really dont think the bump stops would do much for the daystar kit. I personally havent used that kit but it is my understanding that there is so much preload that it is very difficult to bottom the shock. If that is the case, these wouldnt do much good.

 

Does this change the geometry of the driveline for 4X? Is an alignment required? It looks like it would still affect both camber and axle CV joint angles. Looks great. Very interested.
