I am planning to lift my 2000 4x2 xterra and I'm not sure what companies are good and stuff. I'm a noob at this. thanx

Unfortunately for the X, your options are limited when it comes to aftermarket parts. I say for your basic mod needs like lifts and such, go with AC (4x4parts.com).

For a suspension lift you have the option of doing a PML (poor man's lift) which will give you about 1.5" of lift. Or you can go with the full 3" lift kit from AC or Calmini. Although at the moment Calmini has been getting some not so good reviews as far as their customer service goes so that's a gamble. They have good stuff, it's just getting answers and the parts themselves is another story.

Anybody here will tell you that if you are wanting to add a body lift (BL), go with the DIY yourself BL. The parts list is listed here on CX. It is a 2" body lift that will allow you to add on larger tires (up to a 33" tire with little trimming if any).

Instead of going with an aftermarket CAI, James (Soccerbrace) has a how-to write up on removing your resonators which basically converts your stock intake to a true cold air intake.

Check the forums with the search function and definitely read through the how-to's and DIY threads for a lot of answers to mods you can do yourself that will save you a lot of cash.
