Lol in all reality. Were looking for a low ride height. Even the pathfinder isn't very tall.

Correct me if I'm wrong but is that the stock pitman arm there?
Maybe. But I wouldn't be surprised if that was temporary.

That axle is friggin huge!!! Don't they use stuff like that on $90K rock crawlers? Once the truck is done its going to look awesome, cost 2x the value of the truck and I must say a job well done BUT.... are you increasing the engine horsepower, re-gearing or anything to move that beast? A lot of added weight from stock This is the first time I have seen such a high quality, beefy system on a stock X.
Looks great! So are you looking at doing tube shock hoops or plate style brackets?

What castor angle you running? Max 3 deg?
If I remember correctly, the stock pitman are will be drilled out to accept the new steering linkage but it is also going to be beefed up with some plate around the sides in order to add more strength to it. Steeevo is going to have to chime in on that one to give specifics.
The front suspension setup is going to be basically the same as Steeevo ran on his Pathy for a couple years now. As for power adders, headers are already on and I may be adding a decent cat-back system soon. I have to change out the driver's side valve cover gasket so I will be adding an intake manifold spacer since the intake has to be removed anyways to fix the gasket. I also may be changing out the cams for the ones in a VG30 and may have some head work done at the same time, but that will be later on down the road, if I don't end up going with an engine swap. Again, that will be a couple years from now. It's got the snorkel and K&N filter and once the airbox is sealed up, that should free up a couple ponies as well. May be adding an oil cooler as well in the near future. And it is being regeared. Going with Nismo 5.571s front and rear with an air locker in the rear and LSD up front for now.
To maximize uptravel while keep a low ride height we have to ditch the stock pitman arm and replace it with a fabricated pitman arm.. another new product you'll see available soon.
We've only made a handfull of them and it hasn't been advertised yet.

When do you just chop the Xterra up and add Dana 30s?
Can you explain this better? Does this allow cheaper front axels?

It's very possible.
had a slight change in plans for the new trans cossmember. so I'm waiting on laser right now.
I'm hoping to go get the last few things from laser tomorrow and then wrap it up!
So do you sell the drive shafts also?
Hey Dave, I think you might be thinking about Xterraminator's build thread. He is doing the big chop and beefing up a D30 for the front.
Sounds good!
