That's the dealership by my pad and they are idiots and not ever helpful. I've been there a few times and everytime I leave there I feel like I just wasted my time.

That dealership has had tons of bad stories like that. We get plenty of their vehicles traded in. Try calling our dealership if you ever change your mind. Be sure to ask for Lisa, she is our service manager and wont give you any of that nonsense you went through already. Let her know you are a friend of mine. Take care, goodluck with whatever you decide to do. our number is 928-726-0525 if you do want to call and find out.

so went down to the dealership today Earnhardt Nissan in superstition springs area where i bought the truck and the service supervisor comes out and says this: "Oh your going to void almost every warranty on the truck that means anything to you by doing that, every titan I've seen lifted has to replace the transmission mounts at least once a year. The transmission warranty is gone because you will change the angle of the driveshaft and a whole bunch of other BS" he literally told me the only thing ill have left is electrical and maybe my compression warranty on the engine but even that he might be able to prove the lift with heavier tires would cause more strain on the motor to cause it to foul - I almost wanted to smack him at this point haha so i left and am thinking about just getting my all terrains at 33's with it stock like i have now but A/T's instead of street tires and saying forget it
Yep, that's pretty much what I posted to you the other day and I agree it is total BS.

I wouldn't sweat it at all, if anything were to happen, it would happen waay down the road. Ive been running a lift for over 20k miles and (knock on wood) have had no issues that were ever related directly to have my truck sitting higher or on bigger tires. The cst lift is very friendly to our trucks. Good parts that work in sync with the truck will help everything last longer. Do a deaver spring pack instead of blocks, some traction bars to keep things solid, and carrier bearing drop bracket and a driveshaft spacer for the back. The stock shocks are crap with larger tires so down the road consider some 2.5" diameter coilovers with new upper control arms, they will also help with the handling of the truck. Also a good lift without tires is right around 3k if not more. Or be patient and scout the buy/sell section on here. I got most of my main lift components from other members at 1/2 the retail price.

The thing I could never understand about the dealership is why do they care what you do? So what if you lift your truck and blow a rear end every year. Break a half dozen axles who cares the dealer gets paid anyway. Doesn't the service department want big ticket jobs or would they rather be Jiffy Lube? Even if the dealer gets paid less from Nissan for warranty work they are still getting paid. I had a leaking exhaust manifold for a year and the dealer didn't want to fix it. You would think I was taking money out of their pocket.
Maybe someone that works at a service department knows the secret.

it just depends on the dealership. obviously the ones you guys have had any bad experiences/service was from people who have no clue what they are doing or do not care about a good rapport with their customers. My dealership welded mine and my other employee's manifolds when they were cracked no problem. I'm sure they have done other gutsy stuff that i havent heard about too. we are one of the top 10 percent of dealerships in the country and we dont just get there by nitpicking any little issue and turning people down.

Re: A question

I have a 2006 Nissan Titan 4x4. I am looking to put some 35's under it and was wondering if a 3 inch body lift and a 3 inch leveling kit will work good together? I really don't want to put the $1,200 or $1,300 on a 6 inch lift.
I hope you don't plan on doing a whole lot of off-road with a setup like that. I don't think they even make a 3" leveling kit for a 4x4 titan. I would just be patient and save you cash for a true lift kit.

That Rancho kit is actually closer to 5.5" of lift. They advertise it as 4" for insurance reasons or something like that. But just as everyone said the 4" spindle lift is the way to go. It can be done for cheap to start with and gives you a ton of options to upgrade to down the road. I bought my spindles used then bought extended brake lines, bilstein 5100's, bilstein 5125's, and 2" rear blocks. Very solid lift that will clear 35's for around $1200. Buy the kit new from greg and you'll get everything you need for 6" of lift for under $1300. Give him a call and tell him what you're looking for and he'll set you up with everything you need and if you only want 4" of lift you'll get it for even cheaper.
