I'm looking into the Foam Cell Pro Ironman system right now and they look and sound great from the research I'm doing, I might pivot into this system instead of the OME

So a lot of these I have thought about pretty heavily over the last year or so, Answer 1: My Xterra is my daily driver but it's also my adventuring rig. I want to do overland camping and some mild off-roading but the majority of it's use outside of a daily driver will get to hard to reach...

Just something I picked up along the way through forums on the bronco when I was still looking at getting one of those. Good to know that's not the case.

Appreciate all the info guys. I'll take a look a closer look at the leaf springs and cross my fingers that they may be OME springs.

I didn't see any markings on the shackles that lead me to believe they're aftermarket

Gotcha. So this is probably a really bad lift the. And I should replace it as soon as possible? I've heard spacer lifts aren't great.

Ah, is that what that is? Gotcha. So it's just on a spacer lift right now. From my understanding that's the least ideal lift right? As for the shackles idk let me go check.

Well, I guess that's what I get for listening to the dealer. It seems to me the "lift" on this Xterra I bought is only from the rubber on the tires. Maybe I'm crazy but this looks like stock shocks to me. Guess the OME is definitely on the table then for an upgrade.

Appreciate the info. I'll check them out too. Just started looking at Hardcore Off-road and funny enough that rear bumper is the one the previous owner put on this rig. I thought it was something he mad. Haha https://hardcoreoffroadpa.com/nissan-xterra-2nd-gen-rear-bumper-tire-carrier/

Will do, I'll try and get it done tomorrow

I guess I wasn't too clear initially, what's currently on the rig is pretty worn out, haven't been able to find out exactly what it is yet, pretty caked in gunk. I was just browsing around to get an idea for a good replacement really, not so much an upgrade on the lift. Want to keep it where...

So OME doesn't have a 2in lift set up? I think it's currently on a 2in lift so If I drop it to a 1.5in will the 33s that are on there still fit or would they rub? I may have to look into another system if that's the case.

Consider it deleted then haha

Man that's a ton of good information there I really appreciate all the detail you put into that. It sounds like your use and mine are very similar with rigs. I'll definitely look into some aftermarket control arms to go along with the suspension upgrades. Any recommendations on upper control...

Thanks man. Yea it's exact what I wanted from the bronco (minus the removable doors and roof which no big loss there this things much quieter) I got real lucky finding this rig everyone at the dealer was telling me how all of them wanted to buy it and the previous owner really did a great job...
