That’s a great looking frontier! Thank for all the information you gave in the video on this truck. I hope you keep coming with more videos on your ride!!
My goal lately has been to go up four inches in the front and install a small leveling kit in the rear so that way I could have the bed squatting down a little with most of the higher ride height in the front. I also love how simple the body trimming looks on the stock front bumper slightly cut up on yours it looks very good and clean. I'm just about to hit 53k on mine as well and after owning this truck for the last three years I love it. My main goal is to eventually turn my frontier into an overland rig. I feel that these frontier don't get the love and appreciation that they truly deserve.
Your lights are mounted on the front bumper facing forwrard, the lights are either classified as driving or fog lights, marker lights or reflectors on a vehicle have always been mounted on front and/or rear fenders so the sides of the vechilce can be seen from different angles by other drivers. The bumper is a seperate piece bolted to the side fenders. They are not the same.
Hey @monocogenit1, after I installed the new ADO Springs and struts I was worried there would be too much body roll, and would have to re-install the sway bar. However, the body roll was negligible in my opinion. To answer your question directly I just haven't made the time lool. Thanks for checking out the video!
Hey @danielkindle2433, I have an other video talking about the mounting points and where to get them. They were shipped and sold by nisstec; however, other viewers have noticed that the webpage to buy them is no longer up.
The shackles are attached to two recovery point I purchased from NissTech. It appears they no longer sell them on their site. However, P-P engineering sells the same ones. Here is the Link: p-p-engineering.myshopify.com/products/2nd-gen-2005-nissan-frontier-rear-bolt-on-recovery-points
Taking front sway bar off does almost nothing for off-roading, the rear one is what you want to remove. Does very little on rd. But definitely helps off rd
I’ve noticed a big difference after adding the stiff springs in the front. With my current set up the suspension feels great. Just note you might need to get used to the added body roll. Note: my truck did not come with a rear sway bar.
Love your truck, bro. I saw the 5100s in the back. What shock and spring setup did you use in the front?. OEM springs? Somany option for the front i can't decide on a set up since i put the Nismo UCA. Thanks in advance
Yoooo thanks! Im currently running the “all dogs off road medium springs 2”inch lift ” they are definitely stiffer than the factory ones. That’s why I took off the front sway bar. Then I’m running the 5100s with the shocks at the Lowest height setting. Since you have the the Nismo upper control arms you could run a half inch spacer sold by all dogs off road to get a 2.5 inch lift (combined) in the front with out sacrificing too much of the ride quality. That’s the route I would personally go but I never bought the after market upper control arms. i replaced the rough country 2.5 inch spacer lift I had, and I wanted to limit the amount of coil bucket contact I was getting with my new lift.
Nice! A little confused though... Are you saying you did just the Z1 2 inch kit with that adjustable rear shackle in the 0.7 inch lower notch vs the full 1.5 inch lift? It looks higher?
All Dogs Off-road makes a kit called the RCKILLA. It’s supposed to be an alternative to lift spacers like what you’d get from rough country. It’s just new coil springs and leafs.
I have The RC-KILLA kit with the Z1 off road Adjustable Shackles set to the lowest position of 0.7 inches. Apologies for the confusion. This is why the rear looks higher.
Hey @AlexSagisi, yes unfortunately they do turn off but it saved me having to wire a new switch. Also, they only turn on with the head lights, and I can’t use them while the parking lights are on.
Thanks. I wanna wire mine where I can leave them on. On my commute to work I use my high beams a lot but suck that the dogs cut out when in high beam.. the low beam as well turns off too
Great work on your Frontier.... I've got an 18' CC SB SV 2WD and am installing my 2 inch mikellis lift soon....with the add a leafs and the shackle in the back..did you have to modify the driveshaft/carrier bearing or pinion angle?....Thanks!
Hey @trevorleeanderson, thanks for checking out the vid! No need to modify any of the steering components. All had to do before installing the body lift (Driver Side) was loosen the 2 steering shaft bolts. The one inside the engine bay and underneath the steering wheel. Once the body lift spacers were installed I tightened them down. Here is the link with the image: www.clubfrontier.org/threads/body-lift-shaft-extension-help.203617/
Looks sexy! Did you have to unbolt the steering shaft to make slack when install them? Also did you have to get brake line extenders and a fuel filler neck extender? I bought the same kit and I just want everything ready. Again bro nice truck!
Hey @KamiroCinco thanks for watching! Yes for the body lift before installing the cab body spacers I “loosened” (not unbolted) both steering shaft points . The one on the driver side and under the steering wheel. Be sure not to turn your steering wheel. No need for brake line extenders or a fuel filler neck for my year of truck. All I did was loosen the two bolts that hold down the filler neck. Lastly I Replaced the upper radiator hose with the longer one from the kit. I hope your project goes well!
So im doing the exact same thing to mine and i really am stuck between getting 265/75/16 or 285/75/16 is it a noticeable difference on the truck stance. And will the 285’s make it noticeably more sluggish?
@@ponygeneral8938 I had the same dilemma. Since this is my daily and stuck with the stock rims the 265/75/R16 tires made sense for me. If I had 17inch rims I would have gone with the 33” tire equivalent. With the body lift, suspension lift, and bumper cut. My MPG took a hit about 1.7-2 mpg. If you put 33s imagine it would drop a lot more. I used to get around 18mpg city not I get around a consistent 16.5. The sluggishness would depend on how heavy/style of a tire you would get. With my setup there isn’t sluggishness it feels about right.
@@gainingaltitude1562yea man i just dont want anything that looks too small for the lift😂 but ig if i throw some spacers on there itll look the same as if i threw some 285s on there. Thanks man
Hey! If you have the money, go with the suspension lift you won’t regret it. If you need to save up, save up it’s worth it in the long run especially if you plan on keeping the truck long term. That is just my opinion after spending money and doing the work for both. -sorry for the later reply!
Hey there, it actually feels a lot better especially with the after market springs. It took a while to get used to driving on the highway. I originally took the sway bar off with the OEM Springs and spacer kit still attached, and the ride was super plush. If you actively tow with your truck I would recommend keeping it on. Thanks for watching!
Got a 2019 sv 4x4 with a leveling kit, what’s your overall lift with what you have? I have similar grill lights that I haven’t installed do you have a video on that
Hey, i have 2inch lift springs in the front the. The rear add a leaf and a the Z1 off road shackle lift in the rear on the (low setting) is 2.25 inches. Then the 2 inch body lift all the way around. 4 inches in the front and 4.25 on the rear. No video on the grill lights but I can make one showing my process.
@@gainingaltitude1562 Thanks that would be awesome. I guess my next question, hopefully it doesn’t sound dumb. Can I add a 2” body lift along with the leveling kit I have? I’m not wanting to do a 6” suspension lift cause I like my 16 in rims
Yeah you can definitely add the 2 inch body lift no problem! Be sure the kit you buy comes with an extended radiator hose. The kit All-Dogs off road sells has it. That’s how I felt, I wanted to keep my 16inch rims and it definitely turned out better than expected. JUST REMEMBER when you do the body lift in the front part of the cab be careful not to damage the wiring harness on passenger side. If you have more questions Just let me know!

Why not all dogs "parabolic" rear spring?
Sick truck bro, and love your enthusiasm lol
Hello
Can I get the link to order this lift kit, how much lift is this?
I like the rake ! Plus when you add a load it will balance out , especially if overlanding…where most people will carry lots of gear!
The front lights on the front bumper are not marker lights, marker lights are mounted on the front fenders.
My bumper identifies as fenders.
Your lights are mounted on the front bumper facing forwrard, the lights are either classified as driving or fog lights, marker lights or reflectors on a vehicle have always been mounted on front and/or rear fenders so the sides of the vechilce can be seen from different angles by other drivers.

Cool truck. Love my pro4x. Why did you leave the sway bar end links attached?
Hey @monocogenit1, after I installed the new ADO Springs and struts I was worried there would be too much body roll, and would have to re-install the sway bar. However, the body roll was negligible in my opinion.
To answer your question directly I just haven't made the time lool.
Thanks for checking out the video!
Vipercut looks MINT.
Sure hope you renewed your registration
Do you mind getting back to me on which mount you used for the tow hooks?
Hey @danielkindle2433, I have an other video talking about the mounting points and where to get them. They were shipped and sold by nisstec; however, other viewers have noticed that the webpage to buy them is no longer up.
Wonder how did you put the shackles on the front truck, is been bolt to the frame or welded to the frame , the one you get pulled when i vehicle dies🤔
The shackles are attached to two recovery point I purchased from NissTech. It appears they no longer sell them on their site. However, P-P engineering sells the same ones. Here is the Link:

Looks great bro, I have the same truck, like to do mine when I get extra cash😃
Looks very nice bro I like it I'm gonna do mine this weekend thanks for your video
Hey @brauliocarrillo3348, did you manage to get it done? If so how did it turn out?
Nice truck I bought a 2019 recently sv 4x4

. Thanks bro. Keep on trucking
Why do a 1.5" in the rear and then put a shackel that adds 3/4??? Just put a two inch all the way around and be done with it
The extra height helps even the truck out when you load it up or tow!
Looking good brother I have the same truck brother

Why didn’t you remove the sway bar links?
Hey, I thought that I would end up putting the sway bar back on.... But I never did, the next time I'm under the truck I'll end up removing them.
Looks very nice!! On you fog light install. Do they turn off when you use your high beams?
Hey @AlexSagisi, yes unfortunately they do turn off but it saved me having to wire a new switch. Also, they only turn on with the head lights, and I can’t use them while the parking lights are on.

Thanks brother! I ordered the same kit you have! After seeing your setup I knew what direction what im heading.
Is this the all dogs lift that comes with kony shocks?
Hey! No, this is the All Dogs off Road set up with the Bilstine Shocks all around.
Why would you mess that bumper up for a 2” lift?
cuz the sPaCE sHiP tOLeD mE. DuHh

Thanks for watching! Hope you get to finish your rig!
hey so i have it ordered i have 265/70r16s on mine. Do you think i should upsize to your 75s or should keep the tires size stock?
Hey, I saw your video of 2.5 leveling lift kit, so I’m deciding if go with leveling kit or this spring lift kit, what do you recommend? Thank you.

How does it feel without the front sway bar

Why not titan swap?

Thanks for watching!
Looks good !
Thanks!

Took my front sway bar off also, then put it back on a few days later.😬🫣
It was worth a try! No?
