: Will this kit fit on my X?

Hi all, pretty new to the X world from Houston, TX.
All the modding I did was lowering and engine work to the past Mustangs and Camaro's I've had.
So I'm wondering will this kit work for my 2005 2WD Xterra.
Also, a bit of advice would be handy.. My main goal for this X is to have good ground clearance, good looks and a good quality build. I dont want to be changing parts out constantly.. So I want about a total of 3-4" of lift. I figured going with the 3" leveling kit first would be good, then coming in with shackles and some blocks for the rear. Would I NEED to upgrade my shocks/springs to fit the 3"? What about a 2"?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks and happy trailing yall!

That lift will fit, but you can't do blocks in the rear. Blocks in a SUA (spring under axle) truck will actually lower it. Other than that though, that looks good. You don't need to upgrade your shocks.

Ahh jeez, I'm sorry, didn't even take the time to look how my leaf springs were set up. Looks like I'm gonna have to go with shackles. Has anyone on here performed a flip kit with their leaf springs?

yes you can flip the axle, get Titan spring plates. If you run a 3" spacer up front the coil bucket contact is gonna drive you crazy. You need to get a new UCA for anything over a 2" lift. How much offroading do you plan on?
