In this video we go over my opinion of the Rough Country 2.5" lift kit. And I give you some measurements on ride height.
SEE IT OFF ROAD:
• 2022 Frontier OFF ROAD...
Nice clean Frontier, love the base models with a bit of attitude added to them!
Thanks bud! Im pleased with it so far.
Please keep making videos on the frontier I love them
Thanks bud!
Yes, please
I am looking at the NISMO 1.5 lift kit, this kit will make very slight contact when going fast over speed bumps, but for everyday driving on the roads there is no issues. NISMO has the UCA and they are spendy like everything else out there for the D41.
For real! Why is everything for the D41 so much more then the D40's?? I haven't heard anything bad about the NISMO stuff.
Did you need different cam bolts? I wonder if z1 uppers would be good. Someone is selling their rough country lift for 70 bucks. I was going to get the z1 lift. For 70 bucks, i figured I'd grab his rough country lift. If that hits a lot, i may wait to install until i have z1 uppers.
For daily driving, did that bottom out at all? How bad was it hitting off roading?
No cam bolts on mine. Seemed fine. No coil bucket contact when driving on road. Quite a bit offroad, though. I ran this set up for a while without UCA's. Coil buckets made it through it just fine. If you can spring for the UCA's, do it. If not...it's not a HUGE deal, in my opinion..
Hey bro. What’s the size and type tire your running with this setup in this video? Don’t look stock size. Any trimming or melt needed?
It was stock size. 265/70/16 Firestone Destination MT2. no trimming it melting needed.
Running a 305/70/18 now and much trimming was needed. (That video should be on here somewhere..)
I was looking into getting this same lift on my 2023 frontier as well. Do you think that rubbing issue is only a issue with offroading? probably would not happen with normal non off road driving ?
Yes. Off offroafing only (imo).
Are you having any issues with clunking or loose steering or anything majorly different from stock ride?
not really. On some more aggressive roads at higher speeds, I can hear the UCA hit the bucket. But Performance and ride I would say it’s the same as factory.
What size tires are you running and did you have to get your truck regeared for the larger tires.
@@chadknight4791 265/70/16. No regearing needed for this size.
hey what size tires are those? lifting my frontier 2.5 inches like this with the same lift and wanting to get new tires. i dont want to trim anything though just want to see the biggest tires i can put on without messing up the inner lining
The tires I was running here we're the same size as stock. 265/70/16. Firestone destination MT2. I liked those tires, especially offrod, and I thought they were the perfect size for the truck in that configuration. You probably could go a hair bigger if you wanted to..
I appreciate this video. Ive been trying to find out what happens of you dont buy new control arms. So it only rubs when the truck is flexing ?
Yeah. Basically
How hard was it to realign after you installed the kit?
The shop that installed these actually had it done for me when I arrived to pick it up.
What size of tire are you using? I'm planing to do the same on my frontier 2022 but I'm not sure about tires.
Currently I’m running the Firestone Destination MT2’s. 265/70/16
Here is a 30,000 mile review video I just put up.

@@4wdAdventurz thanks.
How easy, or hard was it to install. I have a 22 pro 4x, and wanted to install these on my truck.
I had a shop do it. But it's not too bad. I replaced the UCA's myself and it that process is 90% of that you need to do for the spacer. Better part of a day... A full day if you've never done it before..
Hi is everything else stock? Such as brake lines etc? any issues
Nope. Everything else was stock when I ran this lift. I didn't have to extend the brake lines untill I went with the 6" kit.
Did you put larger tires on this truck, or are those stock size?
It’s a hair larger.. not alot
Trillions on 💵💶💷🏳️
Thanks for the video on this. RC lift and level kit arrived today and will be installed on my Pro-X next week. I was hoping there was something like this out there so I'd know exactly what to expect. This was very helpful.
Glad you enjoyed it! Hope you’re subscribed!
Let me know how you make out i want to put one in my 2022 pro 4x
@@tomhawco12 I love it. The stance of the truck is hugely improved and it gives just enough of a lift without being too much.
@elloyenockjeffrey538 I did. Check my previous reply in this thread.
@@chrislayne3598 how much did it cost? I've been planning on doing this to my truck ever since i got it, Its a 2022 pro-X.
Great video showcase.
Did you change out your stock grill for the pro-x grill?
No this is the stock S grill
I would prefer 2” lift on front amd 1.5” at rear to avoid the truck looking upwards and the tire to fender distance looks good.
That 2.5 f and 1.5 rear If you put load on the bed it looks very odd.
If there is an air bag kit for the rear, installed, it would keep your rear from sagging under load.
Squatter look is a thing you know hahaha
Solid point.. but I wish I knew the OEM rake on a lower model vs the PRO4X stance. I am reading 1.5 inches OEM rake... implying a 2in front and 0.7 rear from Z1 setup will damn near level it out on a P4X. The RC kit is great for the money, but if the P4X stats are correct you could end up with a higher front end and reverse rake. Which would look lame IMO.
Looks awesome dude! Love the steel wheels too!
Thanks man! I actually like them too!
Was wandering if you had camber issues on the front. I put this same lift on and had it realigned at Nissan, and the front wheels still lean out a lot!! Was wandering if cam bolts would get it back
I didn’t have that issue but cam bolts would take care of that.
Some of these newer trucks are so complicated. My third GEN Tacoma has a 3/2 ReadyLIFT and has absolutely zero issues at all and I love it!
I 100% agree
It's literally the same front end as the last gen truck 🤔
Looks great, I'm looking to add the same to my '22. What size are those tires?
They are a 265/70/16.
Please don’t forget to subscribe Jon! I’ll be talking it off-road again this weekend!
Does that contact cause any issues or is it just annoying??
I think over rim it could crack the coil bucket.
I don't know if you know but they make some extended upper control arm ball joints that should fit. They sell them on eBay and they are listed for the previous years of Frontier, but I think they should fit because the old stock ones are the same to the new frontiers. They cost about 40 dollars. Let us know how they workout and if they actually fit.
Yeah, back when I posted this video shortly after I installed the Z1 upper control arms. They were great.
@@4wdAdventurz How is the tapping now, does it happen, do they have bump stops?
@@AndiDoci I don’t have this lift now. I’m in a 6” lift now. Lots of videos on here of the truck now. But when I had the Z1 uppers on I had zero coil bucket contact. Even at full droop.
@@4wdAdventurz O I remember. the one you had to cut the frame? if you go to a Titan swap, why can't you go to a upgraded titan link setup. an upgrade to an upgrade. No one has done that before. Aftermarket control arms giving you even more lift?
Did the kit lessen your MPG?
not sure if it was the kit or the tires. They went on almost at the same time. I would lean more toward the tires but I’m sure the 2.5inch lift didnt help any.
All dogs offroad makes an aftermarket upper control arm for the frontier clears no problem. I have a 6" lift with 33s on a 2018 and put the alldogs upper control arms on, got alot more suspension travel.
Yes! They look legit.
I've have a 2024 frontier and thinking about a 2.5 lift .. i know there are different companies is one better than the other ?
I honestly think they all are basically the same. But if I could support one company, it would be Z1 OffRoad.
Did you change uca's ?.. are you using the stock struts and springs with the 2.5 lift how did they do ?
do you get a tighter turning radius with a titan swap?
That’s a good question. I honestly don’t know. I’d imagine the turning radius would be worse than a stock frontier.. but like I said I don’t know..
Spacer kits are ok for a street truck for cosmetics but for off road it could cause issues. It's better to invest in adjustable shocks like the bilstien 5100s .
Agreed
Better solution, especially in this case but not always.
Looks good, I wanted to do a temporary spacer lift but really can’t find any for my 2023 Pro4X, so I’m going to wait till I can afford the Nisstec Lift next year..
Those Nisstec lifts are super nice. Definitely the way to go if you got the $$
Where you able to adjust camber on the front wheels?
Yes.
So you bought cam bolts separately, as they don't come with the kit?? Kit alone, camber WILL be off, correct? I ask, because I'm trying to figure which way to go with my 24 sv lb
Is the contact of the control arm on the coil bucket constant or rare???
I'm pretty sure it's only when bouncing around. Off roading or something similar..
Do you still have the spacers?
I do. They are not installed, but I do still have them..
Thanks for this video! Hoping to do a minor levelling kit soon
.
You’re welcome! Hope it helped!
Nice truck - but Ground Clearance is measured from the lowest point - in the front that's the skid plate below the trans. My 2019 PRO4X had 9-1/4" stock and an Old Man Emu lift raised it to 11" . I raised the back 1" higher so the truck sets level when loaded for overland
Great truck the lift looks great!
Thanks Ben! I appreciate it
what size tire were those?
Stock size. 265/65/16
@@4wdAdventurz it looks great
Sharp looking truck
Thanks David!
Looks Great!
Any frontier owners change diff fluid yet? If so what brand
Look in owners manual
I have a 2022 Frontier SV 4x4 crew cab long bed... 99% of my driving is on pavement and it already has 9" ground clearance. The lift doesn't make any sense, other than looks.
what size tires are they and rims size
They are the stock 16in rim. Tires are 265/70/16 Firestone destination MT2
Yeah man I have the same kit it’s affordable and great! Ur frontier is just like mine but way newer lol
For the money you can’t beat it!
I'd be driving night and day just to hurry up and get the Titan Swamp done.
For real. I'm ready this CBC is for the birds
Hi there! Here supporting you
Thank you!
There’s nothing wrong with Nissan they actually are just as good as Toyota Chevrolet ford dodge gmc can’t even compare to these trucks they can’t hold up
Lift kit also adds a bit of stress to the ball joints..
Yeah, a little bit..
Can't see going wrong with rough country I've got the nismo upgrades billstien lift leveling kit & lightweight rims
Do the upper control arms. Makes a world of difference
I am assuming you did the upper control arms. Which ones did you go with?
@@RossLager I got the All Dogs Off-road ones. Love em. My alignment is spot on with a 2” lift, and 235/85/16 tires
Any cbc
Loads! Haha.
Just ordered it will see how bad it is
@@mosheweisz1087 if you’re hardcore off-roading you’ll notice it. If you mainly stay on pavement then it’s fine.
Mainly for on road use
@@mosheweisz1087 then you won’t have an issue
Debt rules!
U need bigger tires with more offset will look better
35’s are coming!
I have the Ado Titan swap check it out !
Ugh. It looks so good. I can’t wait..
@@4wdAdventurz thanks buddy I’m doing detailed video this weekend just haven’t had time , yeah in person is ten times better !
I mean no disrespect but the first and only mistake you made was buying a Nissan
🤣🤣 ok. What midsize under $35truck should I have bought, joe !??
@@4wdAdventurz you could have bought all kinds of trucks for that. Doesn’t have to be brand new. Could have gotten and Colorado, canyon, ranger, even found a good used Tacoma for that. You could have stepped up to a used full size. It’s like buying a $15 iron that lasts a year instead of a $60 iron that lasts a lifetime. When you budget shop cars and homes you get what you pay for. Just food for thought.
@@joepaul1763 fair enough. Definitely had more options. I own a local pest control company and we've had almost every make and Monday conducive to the trade.
I have to say the fords and the Nissan's have given me the least amoumt of trouble so far.
While the red Nissan isn't a work truck I was 100% certian i I wasn't going to have issues with it. I also in no way intend for this to be a long term truck.
A Tacoma was my go to choice ( at the time the ranger and Colorado/canyons seemed too out dated). However I was approved for this truck pretty quick and just decided to go with it..🤷🏼♂️ we'll see what breaks before I trade it in 😒
I own a frontier and zero problems. Very good truck and it’s in the woods every day
Nissan Frontiers are one of the highest rated trucks with some of the fewest complaints. They run for hundreds of thousands of miles. There’s even one that went 1,000,000 with basic maintenance on original engine and transmission.
There’s no mistake in buying a Frontier.
where in florida are you ?? i just got a 2022 colorado on june 30th, traded in my 2016 silverado z71 off road, i miss the bigger truck, but it had repeated transmission issues, even after having it rebuilt through warranty, i'm liking my colorado, just not used to the size yet, it's not 4x4 like my silverado was, but we only used that feature once up in ocala national forest, mine is gloss black, redline edition, 4 door, tow package 7000lbs rated towing, i won't tow that much though
I’m in Ocala. It’s funny you mention that. I have a 2016 Silverado that I had to put a new transmission in at 80,000 miles. I bought it used so it had no warranty. From what I understand that was a common issue in that generation Chevy.
@@4wdAdventurz mine only had 33,000 on it when i traded it, i'm retired, i didn't drive it much, got it brand new in 2016, transmission was the 6 speed, it gave me grief a few months after getting it until i traded it, i like chevy, i do miss it , summit white, black out edition 2 tone black stripes, 22 inch wheels, oh well, do you have an atv, we have a 2015 can-am outlander max xt 1000 2up in camo, if you know where ft mccoy is, where buying a piece of land up there, it's getting really crowded here
What size are the tires?
Back then I was running the Firestone Destination MT2 but at the stock size. 265/70/16. But the definitely looked bigger 😂
