I am, I put factory bushings in mine when I installed them and they’ve performed great so far.
Did you just get the OEM bushings from Nissan?

Yeah those are what I ended up using, I forget the price but they were pretty cheap from what I remember.
Here I am ;;;;;;;;; Back at this thread again !. I recently got some slider's that also double as a step and they are advertised as bolt on . When I looked under Odo to check thing's out I couldn't help but notice the difference in size from the bolt's to the hole's their supposed to go thru [Hole's in frame 2-3 time's bigger then the bolt's that go thru ] Has anyone else had a size difference here , did I receive the wrong bolt's, did the 2014 pro these were designed off of have different size hole's ? Would it weaken the frame if I just had them welded on ??
What brand? Can you find the instructions for them?Here I am ;;;;;;;;; Back at this thread again !. I recently got some slider's that also double as a step and they are advertised as bolt on .

If they’re anything like the WK sliders, the bolts were small of the holes. BUT WK included a large backer plate (1/8” thick or so) for all those bolts for strength against the frame sidewalls. 2 of which were installed inside the frame (little tricky) Doesn’t sound like you have those as part of your kit, or weren’t even meant to be included.Here I am ;;;;;;;;; Back at this thread again !.

No Terry they only bolt to the side, they actually welded a nut inside these wierd looking backer plate's . Ill take a pic . I found a shock bolt and it fit's the slider bracket hole perfect but still sloppy in the frame .Here's a pic of both side's of plate's .Hey Eddie, do any of the mounts wrap around the bottom of the frame?
These are probably for behind the gas tank if I had to guess.No Terry they only bolt to the side, they actually welded a nut inside these wierd looking backer plate's . Ill take a pic .

I'd say they expect most folks to run aluminum wheels with the thicker flanges.Apparently they believe the wheel hub assembly [ what you press the stud's into ] is only a quarter inch thick so the round disc of metal they weld the stud's into to hold the spare only need's to be 1/4 inch thick. I put a round piece of 1/2 plywood behind the spare to help the lug's tighten and hold .
I can't get it between the two without forcing it in there and I'm not having the plastic tank rub against anything.These are probably for behind the gas tank if I had to guess.
I don't know what to think anymore. I'm sure I tried an alloy on there also, I mean if the spare steelie was that much thinner you'd have to use lug nut's that were open ended when you used your spare right ? Or am I missing somthing .I'd say they expect most folks to run aluminum wheels with the thicker flanges.
I don't really know. I was just guessing.I don't know what to think anymore. I'm sure I tried an alloy on there also, I mean if the spare steelie was that much thinner you'd have to use lug nut's that were open ended when you used your spare right ? Or am I missing somthing .
The plywood was in front of everything so it was the sacrificial lamb and now I have a good pattern to use the white plastic house trim with a thin piece of rubber in front of it or paint it black or order 3 open ended lug nut's in 12 x 1.25 ?Sounds like someone there was making ASSumptions. Just a thought for your solution, but would a plastic disc work better as “permanent”. No compression, swell, or possible rot over time? Maybe a 1/2” thick plastic cutting board?
Well done Watson!! Now to clarify. I was referring to the manufacturer ASSuming things. Not you of course.The plywood was in front of everything so it was the sacrificial lamb and now I have a good pattern to use the white plastic house trim with a thin piece of rubber in front of it or paint it black
Lol , I understood what you meant. It's all good !! But If you saw the run's in the paint job I put on the slider's it's a wonder I didn't slap myself with the brush !! [ Note to self , don't apply POR-15 in the sunlight with a brush ] At least I was smart enough to get the bumper powder coated !Well done Watson!! Now to clarify. I was referring to the manufacturer ASSuming things. Not you of course.
I actually painted my slider's with POR-15 "Top Coat" which is what they recommend for anything exposed to sunlight. And since I didn't want black or silver slider's. Yea I'm a little weird .. Just remember, paint them after the POR15. Don’t forget about it and leave it exposed like I did my frame.
What happen with your frame ??. Just remember, paint them after the POR15. Don’t forget about it and leave it exposed like I did my frame.
Them's MURDER HORNETS!!! yea gonna die... They were trying to smuggle them self's south, but forgot to apply Protection from G-force with high RPMs.Here's an interesting one. After my 2000 mile road trip a few weeks ago, I noticed a lot of bugs somehow squashed on the INSIDE of my wheels. Like 5 or 6 per wheel. How do you think they get there?
And even more confusing, they snuck inside the rotor...? Majority were this wasp-looking thing too.
I think it's a half inch . I say this because when I put a half inch spacer on top it pushed down and lifted up an inch," suspension lift". But I am guessing at this .Call nisstec and ask them.Anyone know how much I need to adjust the spring perch on my new OEM length Radflo’s to drop 1”? They are about an inch higher than I want. The ride sure is nice though!
