Whats up guys. So I bought a 2.5" leveling kit for my 06 4x4. It came with 1" blocks for the rear. However, after installing the spacers on the front, it still sits about 1/2" lower up front, so why would I put a 1" block on the rear? So I guess what Im getting at, is #1, shouldn't a 2.5" spacer have atleast leveled it, if not brought the front end higher and #2, due to the fact that my truck has 155k miles, is the lower front due to worn springs and/or struts? Help guys, I bought a leveling kit to be level, not almost level.

This^^^, 2.5" spacer should have brought you up to level. Pre 08 needed 2-2.5" spacers up front to get them level, older Titans had more rake. 08+ the coil bucket was welded into a different location and only needed 1.5" to level them. The kit you bought (2.5/1" leveling kit) wis actually a mini lift to level and left an 08+ Titan. Throw some new shocks and 08+ 4wd springs on and your front end will probably pick up an inch if not a touch more

Ok. I had planned on buying the 08+ moogs, found them for about $70 for the set. So you think Id be ok leaving the regular struts in if I replace the springs? Money is always tight directly after Christmas, especially having a 14y/o son

The springs will certainly bring you up some, it would suck to have to swap the springs out twice though, when you get new struts.

Struts aren't expensive. A lot of places run deals. I got a set of 08+ springs cheap and pep boys put them on and a new set of struts for 300 bucks including parts and labor since it was a pain to compress the struts on my wife's old armada I let them do it

 

[Firetitan#1]

Roger that. I guess it would make sense to just go ahead and replace it all at the same time. Sooner or later I figure on replacing the UCAs with some thatll give me a little more down travel

So 1 last question ( I think) when looking, I can buy preloaded springs and struts together for a great price, but it says the fitment is for 04-14 Titans. Anyone ever buy them already together like that and if so, are they more like the pre or post 08?

You can buy struts with springs already on them. Bilstein 5100s are going to be the best bang for your buck but you will have to put the springs on yourself. You can get coilovers but the cost goes way up.Tap auto, dirt king, and prg are good places to look and see whats available for the titan.

Id love to go with any of those. But with money tight, i gotta get whelat I can right now. My question about the struts and speings that come together, is whether tjeyre more like the 08+ or the older springs in terms of ride height. They all say 04-14 in year model.

 

[MikeClark]

What struts are you talking about?

I sent him a different link for some moog spring/strut assemblies. Suspension Strut and Coil Spring Assembly Front Moog Fits 04 13 Nissan Titan | eBay

and then he sent me another link for the same thing at Rockauto.com for about 1/2 the price, so it looks like thats the route Ill be taking

I put 5100s on the front of my 06 cc 4x4 on the middle perch. It didn't quite give me 1.5". Should I get a spacer or the 08+ springs?

5100s on middle perch with stock springs is damn near the same thing as pro4x springs on bottom perch. Since you have them installed already I would just add a spacer for more lift.
