theres only one air box,unless your talking about the resonator inside the fender.

 

[roastbeef]

yea, pull that crap out of there. you don't need it.
i actually cut the neck of the alt resonator and cut a circle out of the actual box and glued it to the tube to make a cap. thats how i plugged it up.

 

[Tweak'e]

The front of the truck sits about 4 inches lower than the rear. Is this normal??? I put the torsion bars in the same splines and adjusted them to the same spot. I thought the truck sat level. If I did get them in the wrong splines what way should I rotate them to raise the truck. Clock wise or counter clock wise??? Thanks for any help.

John

the torsion bars are basically the same as the D22. it sounds like they are 3-4 notches out, pull the torsions out and turn them 3 notches and see how they adjust up. check the book for factory measurements, that way you can get it exactly back to factory.

i have a small problem with mine, mechanics put them in one notch out so they adjuster sticks out from underneath exposed to being hit by rocks etc.

Since I'm a nublet to lifting I want to make sure I have this right. If I want to do a 2" body lift, I can do a torsion crank in the front and shackles in the rear. For a 3" lift, I can buy a full lift kit. Right?

this really should be in a seperate section not in FAQ.

plenty of choices for lifts, have a read through the forum.
i assume D22 (USA 1st gen), then i would add a leaf to the rear (fix the crap rear springs) and wind up the torsions on the front.

[mrgrayaz]

um, thats quite a bad justification your making, the hardbody is basically a totally different truck from the frontier, all the way down to the frame... all different

they have differnt UCAs, t-bar specs.. etc etc...

just cuz its one digit off on the chassis code, doesnt mean its the same

I'm sorry, the D22 is a evolution of the D21. They ARE the same. You can swap most of the parts backwards and forwards......

well, as for speakers, a stock nissan comes with 2 door speakers that can be replaced with aftermarket 6.5 inchers with no problem, the only thing is tho is getting that pesky door panel off.. does anyone kno how? (a shop did my door speakers) that would be awsome advice to put in here.

o and for you extended cab owners, you can stick a single 12 box or a dual 12 box just about anywhere, i personally went with a 15, aka mega bass for a smaller sized truck. and if having trouble finding a place to put it, make a plateform so everything will be level, just measure the back space and cut it out on a square piece of plywood. then build supports based on how high you want the plateform to be, i did mine flush with the cup holder in back of the console. then if wanted, grab some carpet and some glue and stick the carpet on there, it makes it look like the floor is even and smooth but with a "from the factory look" (i got the same color carpet as the rest of the truck).

Door pannels are easier than you think.. You can get a tool for it looks like a 2 prong flat fork( flat blade like a butter knife or a screw driver works too.).. slide it between the panned and the door itself. get the snap positioned between the prongs and pry lightly.. You need a flat bladed screwdriver to get the window crank off and you need to unscrew handles and botton pannels.. the whole thing is held on by a bunch of snap in pins.. Take your time and dont bend the door skin...:crib:

 

[Firebreed]

just some fyi, even with t-bar lift some 31's will rub, infact my BFG AT T/A's Rub this is with stock rims w/ about 1 1/2 inches of lift, rubs right on the idler arm and pitman arm, Not sure if this is true for all SE's and LE's but on the first gen XE at least for me its true.

 

[lsufanof09]

i dont know about all the others but the 02 crew cab speakers are 6 1/2 in the front and 4 in the back and 1 inch tweeter in front by the windshield... i upgraded all to infinity kappas with components in front and kappa perfect tweeters and three 12" cvrs in the back had to put a kinetik hc1800 to push my jbl gto14001 and gto504... had to take out back seat but sounds amazing... soon building some 6x9 boxes for the infinity kappa 3 ways... i did everything myself i jus have to clean it up a little to make it look better

 

[jalanclos]

I just read the torsion bar write up. SO i dont have to adjust the bottom of the bolt at all? I just loosen the lock nut and then adjust the torsion nut? I thought the torsion nut was supossed to be welded to the cross bar?

 

[CousinJon]

Tire size

Also a vote? are you guys happy with me choosing the 31-32" tire as the suggested top end tire size? based on the reasoning i gave? I want to make sure this is not only MY OPINION, but truthful info....

As a Frontier owner and ASE certified Tech I completely agree 31-32 will fit with minor mods to the fender flares I put 31x10.5's on the stock 15's and they rubbed when turned lock to lock until I removed the front section of the fender flare as well as shaving some of the fender well. Especially for new people or those less mechanically inclined 31's-32's are as big as you should go also anylarger and you need to start recalibrating your speedo. (forgot with my old truck and paid 250 to the town of Marana. it had 33's)

I would add however with your torsion bar advice to observe the torque specs when tightening them down or you will end up stripping them out. Expensive. Although following torque specs hopefully is an understood.

 

[silverfox414]

Where is the best place to get an AAL kit?

 

[isx_frontier]

I chose to stick with 32's for tires because honestly, the 32" tire is probably the best bet, especially for new guys.... With a lift, 33's will work, but most people that wheel and lift, don't keep stock rims, and they chose a wider offset. so when off road, the 33's can rub... hell.... I've had my 32's rub when i was only 2-2.5" of lift... So i figued if people are experienced enough with modding there rigs, they will know what they can and can not fit, but for new guys to this, its safer to give a realistic expectation that they can do a small lift and 32's with no real issues...

as for shackles.... Lots of the blame doesn't go to the shackles, but more so the weak leaf packs our trucks come with... I think more of it comes from the fact that once we lift, we also start wheeling, and start trying to flex our trucks out as often as we can.... and that in itself is more likely to be the reason they flatten out... because at that point, we are stressing the already weak leaf packs even more...... I think i hit on the AAL's are the best, but shackles create more flex thing though... which is true....

WHERE ARE MY BODY LIFT GUYS????????? Houdini, NismoGone... somebody...

anybody want to add anything, or help me out on the technical side of anything????

Also a vote? are you guys happy with me choosing the 31-32" tire as the suggested top end tire size? based on the reasoning i gave? I want to make sure this is not only MY OPINION, but truthful info....

yep. i agree that you suggest 31-32" tires. because 33" has a big effect on the performance wise of the rig.

 

[Paul19nissan]

hey i have a problem lifting my rear on my 1st gen frontier. i cant put blocks because the leafsprings are under the axle. what do i do?

 

[adorsey]

You can get a single aal that will give you about 2" or you can get shackles that will give you about 1.5" or you can get a 3 aal pack that will give you a full 3 inches but you will need some parts for the front also.

 

[Paul19nissan]

thanks !

 

[frontman04]

what gears should i run. with 33s
anyone?

 

[JoshuaTest]

damn... this thread still gets used huh???

UPDATES...

With proper wheel width, and some minor trimming, the 01-04 Frontier can and will run a 34" tire... I have successfully run the 34x10.50 LTB's and am currently running the 255/85/16 Big Horns...

unless you have the 4.9's, the gearing sucks for 33-34" tires, but is doable.... Not recommended for street trucks, but if you wheel, and need the height, it can be done...

as for gears... I think the 4.9's are the best option for a 33" tire.

Glad to see we still get some use out of this thread...

 

[penski61]

yeah i agree 4.9's and 33's are very good

 

[DESTROYER]

i got a question iv read that some of the navara's had a 2.5l turob diesel how ruff would the conversion be to put that motor in my 99 4x4 kingcab frontier?also is their anywere to get one of these motors?
