After much contemplating about which leveling kit to get for my crew cab 4x4, I went with the PRG kit. This means a lot more than usual because I work for Nissan North America and have many kits to pick from free of charge. After looking at the different kits (daystar/revtek etc) I ended up paying for the PRG kit rather than getting one of the other ones for free. I guess the most important thing for me is ease of installation, quality, and spring rate. As we all know, these trucks have a very progressive front coil spring. Anything which will take away the first inch of compression will cause the truck to ride on the stiffer part of the coil sooner. I also like the fact that I can put this truck back to stock in about an hour with simple hand tools (no spring compressor needed).
The install was very easy. I went to Greg's house last night (yes, he installed another one for someone) and he had them on in about an hour. Like most everyone says, it does not look dramatically different in pictures, but in person it is very noticeable. Getting in an out now is even different. Watch that first step getting out, its a doozy!! After the install, I had to stop twice before I made it to the freeway to look at it in the light of a gas station parking lot. It really is the perfect height now. It looks very level, but if I put a tape on it, it is about 3/8 to 1/2 higher in the rear. After seeing the front suspension on these trucks, it is definately better to have it on the lower side of leveled. More front lift would cause the upper control arm to hit the coil bucket and have more possibility of alignment issues. When I park the truck on level ground, it sits level, but in my driveway, the front looks higher (havent figured that one out yet).
Driving dynamics are perfect now. I have always felt that these trucks were a little too biased to the front. Now that front is lifted I think the weight transfer to the rear cause the truck to ride much better on the freeway and on surface street dips. Its like the suspension is preloaded and ready to take freeway expansion joints and dips like the baja race Titan. Honestly, when I first left Greg's house it really reminded me of the race Titan since that is the only other lifted Titan I have been in. I love where the hood ends now when I pull up behind a Civic at a light. The truck goes so straight down the road and the toe is still dead on. My truck did not require a toe adjustment (I know it is different for eveyone)
The kit works perfectly, the look is awesome, and driving is better than stock. I highly recommend this kit to everyone thinking about getting one! I cant wait to show it off at work to all the stockers. We will be racing Laughlin next month, so if anyone is out there look for my truck (silver crew 4x4) or the race truck (now a bright red Titan) and I shouldnt be too far away.
Thanks again Greg, I love it. Tell Jen sorry for taking you away from dinner....for the 3rd night in a row haha

Or better yet pick up some free lifts and offer a group buy (i.e. PRG kits at $0.00 for members). Oh hell, it was worth asking at least
