That's Bad Ass !!! Nissan should be manufacturing the Pro4X like this straight from the assembly line. Not to take work from your skilled profession but I'm just saying.
Do you recommend extended lower control arm bump stops with your 2" spacer? Does the suspension still bottom on the stock LCA bump stops or the shock itself with the spacer installed? I just bought your 2" lift that i am installing on a '24 P4X... I bought longer bump stops just in case, but hoping I don't need them🤞
Appriciate the great content as I am getting ready to purchase a 2024 Pro 4X. In watching this video it made me quickly realize self installing is way out of my skill set! Do you have a recommended shop that will install your product?
Dumb question here AND YET I am going to ask it : from a physics perspective why - use the factory rotors? If it were my truck I would want upgraded rotors to ensure spacers have a best chance of success
What do you guys charge for this lift install and alignment? I have the 2024' Nissan Frontier Pro-4x. I'd be the guy that would take a trip to your shop for this installation. Thanks!
I spent a ridiculous amount of money on the nismo 3 inch lift installed by the dealership and 285/70/17 Falken wildpeak at3 DO NOT FIT! Anyone thinking they are putting 33 inch tires on the frontier without trimming wheel wells is fooling themselves. Also the tires I tried to put on are actually 32.8 inches tall not even 33. I have now ordered the 275/70/17. Praying they fit. I love my truck but Nissan seriously needs to look at modifying the wheel well ares as they are ridiculously tight even with the lift.
Nissan designs this truck with smaller more enclosed wheel wells for better aerodynamics. A little trimming and melt mod is very simple but very necessary when going up to a larger wheel and tire combo.
What I find peculiar is, the prior generation 6MT was stout enough to handle a LS V8 swap and tow heavy trailers let alone the 4.0 V6, so why would Nissan have to engineer much more than the bell housing to mate with the new 3.8 V6? Maybe a slight change to the ECU, but doubt much. Frankly, this could be an easy swap if someone had the $$$$$ resources….
This is why I ended up with a Jeep Gladiator. Driving enjoyment means too much to me to ignore. I get the most enjoyable drives rowing the gears myself. The Frontier doesn’t offer it and the Toyota Tacoma offers it so rarely you can’t find them.
@@Green_Leaf Nissan would’ve lost money engineering a bell housing, ECU, etc… because manuals are dead. All I ever see is people complaining about the lack of manuals nowadays but guess what the Tacoma comes with a manual and only 1.4% of them ordered and sold had it.
@@AsianNIGMAthis what I was going to say, everyone always cries manual but then manufacturers give them one & no one buys it, or at least garner enough sales to justify it for the handful of ppl who might want one
You made it look simple, Nice work. Question... Don't I need to keep the strut in the same position when re-installing with spacers? Noone is talking about the strut now facing the opposite direction from how it should be...
The top-hat will only bolt into the strut tower one way. It doesn't make any difference which direction the shock body is facing unless it is a higher end shock with adjustment knobs or fittings that need to be accessible, but you should be able to fasten the threads into the top hat and use a long handled tool such as a pry bar or a screwdriver to turn the lower eye to line up with the LCA mounting tabs.
Yes they will. Our Z1 FUCAs are a fix for that as they are designed to clear the coil bucket as the suspension travels. Check the links in the description of this video to get a set for your truck!
Awesome video. I’m about to do a full suspension lift on my 23 PRO4X. Do you guys have any advice or video on what/where to cut for a bigger tire install?
Wheel offset, tire size, and alignment specs will all offer different results for each person, so it is important to realize one's experiences may change from person to person. For this instance, since we are running both a wider and taller tire and a 1.5" spacer, we had some decent rubbing prior to cutting. We would not have needed to trim as much had we opted to just run this size wheel and tire, and not include the 1.5" wheel spacer. We pulled the flare off, trimmed the lower part of the metal fender back to the bottom mounting screw while leaving enough meat to screw the flare back on, and trimmed the bottom section of the flare itself as well to clear the tires while turning. We wanted to trim enough to clear, while maintaining a OE look, and this process achieved that. We also used a heat gun to slowly melt the fender liner back out of the way in a few of the spots it protruded out into the wheel-well. There is also a clip in the center of the fender well behind the tire, and this is attached to a tab. You can remove this clip and carefully bend the tab back, to allow for more clearance. If you do this, be sure to take these steps a little bit at a time, and check wheel/tire fitment periodically between cuts to see where and what else is required for you to trim. We recommend using some painters tape to mark where you want to make your cuts to ensure you cut in the right places and have straight cuts. Check the video at timestamp 15:54-16:09 for a better picture of what this is referring to. Pause at 16:04 to see where we cut the fender and the flare. This process was the same on both sides.
Yes, we installed 1.5" wheel spacers on all 4 corners. Spacers can serve different purposes for different applications, but we and the owner of this truck felt the slightly more aggressive stance was the look we were going for. Keep in mind that a wheel spacer will effectively give you more "negative" offset, and this will require more cutting and trimming on the front compared to a factory offset wheel. We're happy with the overall outcome and look this truck now has!
Depending on your setup at regular ride height you should have a little less rubbing, but keep in mind that throughout the travel range on compression the tire will still rub in the same places, regardless of lift height.
haha sad but true, this is how they all should come from the factory. As far as the warranty, any issues would have to be proven to be caused by the modifications, so if the radio stops working, there is no way that was caused by the suspension. We have several dealers that install this lift and will do all of the services too. I would reach out to your service department.
thanks our team is working hard to continue to pump out the content. As far as the warranty, any issues would have to be proven to be caused by the modifications, so if the radio stops working, there is no way that was caused by the suspension.
Been driving Ram full size for the last few years KO2’s, otherwise full stock. Don’t want to go turbo Hurricane, so thinking of moving to a Frontier, BUT I have a 5 mile private gravel access, that can flood up to about 18” max, and sometimes I come in before the plow guy, pushing snow all the way. What Z1/tire options would at least match my current hemi capabilities (I have never failed to make it in or out, and about 20 times a year, pull people out of oops situations)?
These Frontiers are very capable stock for their size and class. A pro4x model will get you a rear locker which can be extremely beneficial in off-road situations. The size and weight will be a factor, so they aren't exactly apples to apples, to your Dodge, but a Titan may be closer to this true comparison. Nonetheless, we have lots of options for lift kits, skid plates, and other gear for the Frontier and Titan alike that will all improve and protect your off-highway endeavors. When it comes to tires, a good set of dedicated snow tires for the winter will always outperform a set of all seasons. If you want to run a set of tires year-round there are lots of options for all season, snow rated tires that will outdo the factory tires that come on most stock trucks.
So, the factory bolts on the rear shackle are m12 with a 17mm head. The package I received are a M14 bolt with a 22mm head. I haven't attempted an install yet because I'm not sure these bolts/sleeves will fir the bushings or frame.
Your rear shackle should be correct. Our upgraded shackles should be a M14 bolt with a 22mm head like you mentioned. You shouldn't have any issues with fitment on your truck. Feel free to refer to the install guide, or reach out to us if you have any trouble with the install.
You mean people actually buy Nissan Trucks? All this time I thought dealers would drive them around occasionally to make people think people bought them. Crazy.
Are you referring to stacking a 1.5" lift spacer on top of the 2" lift spacer? If so, this would not be advisable. Once you get to a certain lift on stock width geometry, you begin to put excessive stress on ball joints, cv axles, tie rods, and other components within the front suspension. There are other ways to get more lift on a Frontier but we do not ever recommend doubling a lift spacer. Additions such as a Titan swap, extended length struts, lift coils, and other supporting mods will help support the front suspension on your truck should you choose to want more lift.
If you are sticking with the stock wheel and tire combo, yes it will work with out having to trim or do the melt mod. Those are only used when going up on tire size.
Yes, many parts are the same or very similar between the two generations. Many aftermarket parts are interchangeable as well which is nice for those looking to upgrade their trucks.
@@kaoticmind09 from the factory, the rear is going to sit a little bit higher. This truck is running our 2" with our greaseable rear shackle on the 1" setting. If you go with the 2.5", I would set the rear at the 1.5" setting
pretty awesome to see Justin getting in there and getting dirty! I can honestly say I can think of that maybe less than a handful of dudes who are in his position, that still work on things and get dirty.
We've linked the products we installed in the description of this video. At the time of this comment, a good bit of stuff on the site is on sale, so now is certainly the time to buy it at a discounted rate!
@@z1off-road pls pls pls. And thank you in advance! Let us know asap. Btw if you guys have a shop here in socal. There’s a lot of frontier trucks here already
Thanks! For a quote with installation reach out to our service department. We've linked all the products we installed in the description below the video.
If you are referring to the bolts on the upper control arms, we recommend tightening to the torque spec given by working in increments of 5 ft lbs on each bolt then going back and tightening again to ensure even clamping force on all the surfaces.
@@kaoticmind09 We've since updated the installation guide, and we recommend using the most up to date guide on our website. That torque spec given is 10 ft lbs.
We installed pre-cut yellow Lamin-X Film on the OE fog lights. You can purchase some for yourself here at Z1OffRoad.com www.z1offroad.com/lamin-m-359.html
i thought spacer lifts removed some suspension travel? atleast thats what the other companies such as alldogs claim. how is it possible to gain inches of upward and downward suspension travel with this spacer lift kit? i am interested in buying this setup for my d40 pro4x
This is going to depend on what shock you are using and if you are running aftermarket UCAs. We measure total travel and with and without our FUCAs, we gained a little more then 1.5"s in total wheel travel without bottoming out the stock P4X Bilstein.
@@jdev232 Yes, we used it as a precaution because you cannot check them without pulling the wheels off. We also made sure they were torqued to spec, and it is recommended to check the torque spec after a few hundred miles to ensure everything is still torqued following the install.
@BO-2016 not entirely true. There's things you can work around. Some things will void it immediately, and some have loops holes and what not. Exhaust for example, cat backs are fine because you leave the cats alone. Once you mess with the cats, like doing a catless downpipe and aftermarket headers, then yes that'll void it. I have a catback exhaust and a lift and still have my warrentys
Great video guys! I just put your 1 inch wheel spacers on yesterday and have a Rckilla 2 inch lift coming friday. If I decide to add another 1/2 inch spacer on top of what im already doing im definately going with your upper control arms. These trucks are so sexy with a mild lift! Its a must do for sure. Gives it the perfect stance and just enough extra clearance to clear more obstacles off road.
This is a great option for those who want to improve the travel & clearance on these stock trucks, and make it look better at the same time. The affordability of this kit is only another benefit!
