Am I correct that I can lift my 2007 Xterra 2" without having to replace the upper control arms in the front? Is that the limit?
Most guys say they lose 1/2 to 1 " of height when installing a winch. If that is true, then I assume I should do 2 1/2" spacers for the FRONT, and a 2" lift for the rear if I add a winch?
What is the length of the OEM shocks on the Xterra? I know I need to add longer shocks if I do a lift, but I do not know how long the OEM shocks are.
My Xterra is not used like most of you guys. I'm not crawling over boulders. I am a storm chaser, so I'm running high speed on the highway the majority of the time and 10% of the time I'm fairly high speed on rutted out, bombed out mud roads. Would you guys suggest the Bilstein 5125 shocks for what I am doing?
Right now, I'm leaning toward front shock spacers to lift the front, and shackles for the rear with Bilstein 5125s at all 4 corners.
THANKS GUYS!
