Hey guys I'm new to these forums and Titans, I just purchased my 4x2 SV a few days ago and could use a little advice. This isn't my first truck or first do it yourself suspension job I previously owned an F-150 and Tacoma both of which were lifted... but these forums have been very helpful and seem to have a good knowlegeable community.

I'm looking into bumping my Titan up 4" or so nothing too crazy but I would like to give it a nice aggressive stance and get rid of the factory rake maybe even slightly the opposite way. After reading up this is what I had in mind.

PRG 2.5 Front Spacers
CST 4" Spindles
Deaver 2.5 Mini pack
Bilstein D185-H0 (front)
Bilstein 5100 (rear)

Def. not using anything made by Rancho and feel like going this route I will get more usable travel and performance, plus I have budget...lol

Here is where I could use some suggestions. Will I need the drop carrier berring kit with the Deaver pack and also would it be a good idea to throw a 1" block in there so it's not such a rake, I like the Pre-Runner look but would only like a slight rake. Also what size tire and rim do you forsee a lift like this allowing (will do pinch weld mod if needed).

Thanks for taking the time to read and comment in advance.

You looking at 6" of lift with that setup. With a block you might sit a little higher in the rear. With the block you may need the dbc.

Probably going to need an aftermarket UCA with that setup on the front.

Thanks guys,

Do you think the CVA's are a must? I def. could go without spending 400+ and put it towards wheels, but I do want it done right.

Anyone have pics of this setup?

I was under the impression with my initial list I would get a total of 4" front because of the factory rake and 2.5 to 3.5 rear w/ 1" blocks Is that incorrect?

I pretty much had this setup on my old truck at one point and time. I had 4" CST spindles, coilovers instead of the spacers, and just a 3" rear block. My truck had plenty of prerunner look rake to it. I had my coilovers at about 3" and didn't need UCA's so I don't think you will need them either. Below is a pretty good pic of how the truck sat at that time.

Shouldn't need UCA.

That's just about the look I'm trying to achieve with slightly less rake, Thanks for the Pic! At some point I will go ahead and purchase the coils but it's a budget build for now.

I didn't think it would need the UCA's...

With my original list it's a 1.5 front to rear difference should look prett clean.
