Planning on getting 33s for my xterra, looking for a good 3" suspension lift around or under $500 that is worth it. Let me know, thanks.

Good luck for that price for a quality lift kit...at least for the first gen...second gen I'm not so sure about, but IIRC the lowest I've seen for a kit is around 700

Calmini and 4x4parts.com both make the best 3" lift you can get for a gen 1 Xterra. Both are around $1,000.00 for everything needed. With the Calmini kit however, stay away from their branded shocks. They are shit. Get the Bilstein shocks. They are the best out there for a gen 1 Xterra.

Also if you plan to run 33s you need a 2" body lift to go with the 3" suspension lift.

He has an 06 so all he needs to fit 33s is the melt mod, correct?

ah. I didn't see that part. lol. Then yes he doesn't need a BL. The melt mod might not even need to be done either. It depends on the tire and wheel he has or gets.

Please explain ...

on a gen 2 you can fit 33" tires without doing any kind of lift. some people have to push back a small bubble in the plastic in the fender so that the tire doesnt rub on it. thats the melt mod. heating it up and pushing it back.

You can use front spacers and shackle lift. RC and Calmini have this kind of suspension lift system that fits your budget but the gain is up to 2.5" lift only. Nisstec has coilovers + AAL lift though it is bit pricey.

Has anyone done 2" spacers with adjustable quick lift shocks on front to achieve 3" lift?? Currently have 2" spacer and uca's. wondering if I could get that extra inch of lift by replacing the shocks with adjustable height ones. Thanks

Kdent, you might also consider Pro Comp Lift Kit. It is designed specifically for your application, installs on factory strut assembly and gives your truck an aggressive stance.

its going to be hard with that price. i recommend saving up and getting a PRG lift, worth the money! most of the good ones range around $1200-$1600
