Calmini lift Question 2004 Xterra XE

[TJTJ]

http://www.4x4parts.com/i-18915782-...eaf-add-a-leaf-pack-5100-bilstein-shocks.html with adjustable shackles .. I called in and talked to a Tech.. He said the Articulator kit and this kit have same shocks also heavy duty tie rod adjusters and few other things I have in my cart as well .. But I can't get the Screen shot to work

to post pics from a site:

copy the pic ADDRESS

Paste the pic address between IMG Tags.

goes on right


So:

And that should do it.




If its your pic, you need to host it on a hosting site, such as photobucket, flickr, etc...and do the sae thing.

OK yeah I'm have to post them so I can post it here .. But my cart has almost 1600 in it .. That lift and heavy duty tie rod adjusters can bolts and adjustable shackles and ball joint spacer and sterimg stabilizer

I'd delete the top two of those choices, you don't need them.

Get an idler arm brace, but not a stabilizer set up.

The rest is doable.

OK yeah I was going to use the ball joint spacers since I'm have 200lb on the front to regain what I'm lose with that much extra weigh. And the kit comes with a IAB I believe that's in the picture right

Right, you DO want to install the IAB, but not the stabilizer....so delete the stabilizer kit.

You don't want a ball joint spacer to compensate for the moral equivalent of an extra passenger, the 30% stiffer t-bars your getting can handle that.

So, delete the ball joint spacers.


Ball joint spacers add a vulnerable breakage issue, and the stabilizer is to MASK problems while not preventing any. IE: Symptoms can "go away", but its more akin to having an axe in your head, and taking aspirin instead of removing the axe, etc.

This is the truth. All of it.

Tj is right about the steering stabilizer. I drove around on a shot steering centerlink, roasted a set of MUDs terrains, as a result.... But I leave the steering stabilizer on mine just because my wife drives the xterra way more than I do. It's the only lifted thing she's ever drove an drives it like a sports car lol

Sweet yeah I'm prob just do the Lift and the adjustable Shackles and the heavy duty Tie rod adjusters with new Tie rod ends make it a complete new set up
