Anonymous Unregistered	i have many questions about suspesions, im kinda new at this my, xterra is stock 4wd and im pretty happy with the way it handles, but i think im starting to out grow it, i feel i need 2 beef up my suspesion but i dont know where to start, i dont think a lift is what i want but something that wont bottom out if i get a little air.

Depends what you mean by a LITTLE air. A moderate one or 2 feet air is easy, if your stock suspension can't handle that already, get the stronger torsion bars (27.48mm) by Calmini up front and an AAL in the back. If you're doing some big (read: stupid) air, then you'll need some major renovations, the X is not designed for that. Get a monster truck Hi-Lux.
