ok I'm new and I have had some suggestions but ima post it here seeing that this looks like the more appropriate place to put it :D haha :D I wanna start with a lift but im in desparate need of tires but I dun wanna buy them until i get the lift so I can get some 33" tires :D well tell me where to start thx y'all :D

If your looking for suspension, this should be in the suspension thread, not Armor since that is for skids bumpers, etc....

And didn't you ask that in the other thread?

If you get a PML, you should be able to fit 33s barley with a lot of trimming depending on the tire. For 33s you really need a 2in Body lift.

Good luck!

2 inch BL is the way to go for 33's. check out the how to piece together a 65 dollar Bl in the how to section

I was lookin at it earlier i wanna do it but I wanted to get a 3" as well

lol my bad about the suspension post lol what are some nice bumpers I can get as well?

Dinka, I'm running a 3" suspension lift with 33s and it does fine off road. I'm about to add a 2" body lift in a couple of weeks because I'm getting Alcan Rear Springs (which provide a hell of a lot more flex), so I need the extra room for the rear. There are many things you can do to fit 33s and you don't have to go with a full 3" susp. lift if you want to save a little coin. Like others have said, spend $65 on some rear shackles from 4x4parts.com, crank up the t-bars about an inch and a half, and slap on a 2" body lift which you can piece together for $65-$75 (instead of spending over $200 for one through 4x4parts.com ); and 33s will fit with some "minor" trimming. Look in the DIY/How To forum for trimming (I posted up a how-to in that section on that).

Otherwise, for bumpers, sliders, skid plates, etc...this is the right place and all the links that Stevin gave you are a great place to start.

The dumbest question is the one not asked about your X. Even if it's in the wrong forum; at least you asked! ;) :)

ok sweet sweet...the arb.com didn't work

I recently had some question about a lift as well. Check out this thread (http://www.clubxterra.org/forums/showthread.php?t=8716). Read through it and you should be able to get an idea of what you need. KEEP IN MIND though, All of the parts listed there are for my X (A 1ST GEN, 2000), you will need to get parts for a 2ND GEN (2004 in your case). Hope it helps...

EDIT: Here's the ARB link (http://www.arbusa.com/Products/Bull-Bars-Bumpers-And-Tire-Carriers/Bull-Bar-Bumper-Product-Images/Bull-Bar-Bumper-Product-Images--Nissan/92.aspx).

EDIT (again): First generations are from 2000 to 2004 (thanks Dave), all of the links on that thread WILL work with your X.

2004 is still a 1st generation X. It's 2005-2009s that are 2nd Generations. All the parts you get will work on 2000-2004 Xterras.

dave is right the 1st gen was from 00-04 and the 2nd gen is 05+

Oh $h!t that's right, sorry about that Dinka! Be sure to check it out though, its very informal.

cool thanks...another ? is that I was gonna ask about how to put in the shackles and crank the T-bar?

All of that can be found by looking through the DIY/How To forum. Tons of info in there for everything you could want to learn, and probably some stuff you can live the rest of your life without knowing ;) :mocking:

Dave or Jason, that's a question for you...

damnit, lol

lol :D haha nice one cristo :D and thx Dave ima check it out :D I like this group...ima have to buy a clubxterra.org sticker

Yeah the lift with some trimming on the front wheel wells will get those tires on there.

what if I do the PML for now what size tires can I fit without having to trim?

I have 16" rims fyi :D

ok do y'all think these will do? they say the can get up to a 2 3/8" lift would i still be able to crank the T-bar to be leveled?


I wish mine was 4x4 :*(

ok check this out...would this b any good? http://sanantonio.craigslist.org/pts/1045502328.html

Ideally with no trimming it would be 31x10.50x16 for the tires on just a PML. You can fit a 32x11.50x16, but may need to trim just a tiny bit of plastic, or nothing at all...just depends on whether you get a mud terrain or all terrain (because of the tread).
