You can also try searching for 4x4parts or 4x4 parts.com lift, I've seen a few posts where it's been called that. http://www.xterraownersclub.com/ubb/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=73;t=000424

I have had my AC 3" lift for 3 years and around 65,000 miles. It has worked well for me....on-road and off.....for that time.

Some have had indications of alignment difficulties do to the upper control arms being a tad too long to permit proper camber adjustment....but I have not experienced that with my lift, and I am still running my BFG AT street tires 50,000 miles later, with no weird wear patterns.

EDIT: Upon re-reading this, I do want to clarify the comment on the upper control arm length issue.....Some people have reported difficulty in alignment due to the UCA's being a tad too long (I believe Carlton was one), but I did not experience that, and I believe AC has remedied some time ago, any problems that may have existed regarding that matter.

I've got the AC 3" lift and it was a breeze to install with the exception of the removal of the stock ball joints. I've got 33" BFG AT's and eveything fits with my Schrockworks bumper. Great kit for the price but I recommend a tie-rod upgrade if you plan on wheeling. (I learned the hard way.)Also I have not noticed any unusual wear on my tires after 4000 miles.

I've had the AC lift on for about 75k miles. No problems at all. Lots of off-road use.
