Hello,

Just curious what everyone's thoughts are on this project? I would like to install the quicklift and tires as well as the shrockworks front/rear bumpers. My question to anyone with an educated opion is this...other than the quicklift kit, would I have to undertake any other mods upfront due to the added weight of the front bumper? It states in the article that it sits perfectly level. I would like to retain that look with the shrock bumper installed. I am a newbie to mods so please go easy. Your help is greatly appreciated.

p.s.

here is the article referenced.

I went local (DunBar Spring) phx,AZ
and made mine to my likings.they will ask a couple of questions on towing and daily driver and offroad ect ect. it rocks!i saved $$ and got more from buying local.hope this helps.O and the wait time was about a day if the work is done in house

Thanks for the reply. I am trying to figure out if I will need to add any thing else to level the front end, post-quicklift? I am moving to Las Vegas in the next month or two and was going to have it done out there. I don't want anything more than what you see in the pics in the article. The 285s and the front bump and sliders. How much did it run ya btw? Thanks again!

Admittedly, I don't know anything about the Rancho lift for 2nd gens, but the Rancho lift for the first generation Xterra wasn't worth the steel it was made from, so I'd be wary of using the kit for the 2nd gens.

Thanks... what would you suggest to get the desired look and functionality. I would estimate that 75% will be on-road as this is my daily driver. I am not going to go rock crawling or anything like that. Primarily taking it on trails to go camping, hiking, biking etc. I want to put 285/75/16s on it and give it a lil better stance. will the 285s rub or bind without a lift?

i am running the Daystar 2.5 lift with the custom rear leaf-pac 4.5 with oversize rear Rancho 9000 adjustable shocks front and rear can cruz like a caddy or full bore offroad .its pimp

righton... how much did that set you back for parts if you don't mind my asking? I am going to get a local shop to do mine. Anyone in the Vegas area have any recs?

daystar 200.+ give or take and rancho.com check with a local shop who sells them or go direct tennaco/rancho syspention. you will need to do rear leaf pac with the shrock bumper as for the fron i dont need that much wait on the front end so i plan on building a prerunner bumper. running stock bumper for now.hope this helps

onix. that helps! any info is appreciated as i am new to all of this. How's the valley treating ya? I moved out of there back in 01 and now moving to vegas in may. damn i picked a great time to move, should have waited til the winter!

Not bad im in Scottsdale.Its like there is more traffic every year go figure.

If you come threw AZ look us up arizonaxterraclub.com we could do some wheeling or other club stuff.Onix

Ah, www.azxterraclub.com Wally.

sounds like a plan! my schedule is 8days on/7off so i could make my way down there to visit friends!

I have not heard good things about the Rancho quick lift for the 2005+. IMHO, if you are adding a Shrock front bumper, you should upgrade your front coil springs - instead of using a spacer.

That is good to know about the Rancho Quicklift setup. I would just like a lil better and more aggressive stance on mine. If you took a glance at the rancho article, the pics in there are what i am going for.
