Topic: Help lifting my new X

[2013nick]

More lift more options... with 4-5 inches I could clear just about everything i would want to try and I like the way it looks

Well if ya do a ts ya can get 3-4 (which is where my X sits) and throw a body lift with bigger tires and you'll get the lift height ya want. Your diffs are always going to be your lowest point that you will have to worry about. I may be wrong but bigger tires are the easiest way to that diff higher off the ground

And also last minute though ya can always go spring over axle

Oh another thing. I want the ride to still be really smooth even after I lift it

[knightrider]

drew, for you i would put another vote for the ome stuff from nisstec, it will ride well and handle extra weight for camping and whatnot.

The magic number on our rigs is 3". Below that you can get a shackle and spacer kit for under $400 and a coil over kit at over $2k.
   Above 3" your looking at Titan Swapping or a drop bracket lift kit at mucho $$$$. The drop bracket kits out there do not include accommodations for the rear like a new driveshaft.
   A properly built rig can be fairly good on the original geometry.

I want to lift my 2013 Xterra about an 1.5 or 2". What's the best way todo that and how much? Any type of suggestions are welcomed. Thanks guys

Drew...back to your OP.  I ran a 2" PRG spacer/shackle lift for almost three years, and was very happy.  It gave the appropriate clearance for 285's (33" tires), and with some good spotting from friends, there wasn't too much my Xterra couldn't handle. 

The PRG lift was $278 delivered back in 2010, and was one of my first installs/mods.  Solo, and with the first time removal of some of the "Nissan torqued" nuts and bolts, it took me about six hours. 

PB Blaster is your friend, but it sounds like your X is fairly new.

 Keep in mind that any suspension mods can jeopardize your warranty, in Nissan's eyes of course.

I think the honest way of looking at this is that the more lift you want, the more its going to cost, the deeper your wallet has to be.  Other than a spacer and shackle, most kits will stiffen the ride a bit.  Softer may not be the best on the trails.  Why do you want 4-5" of lift anyways?  Most Xterra owners are happy with 3".
