i'm very pleased with the readylift leveling kit. my truck looks (in my mind) like it should now. i'd like to get a slightly bigger tire once the stocks wear out but it doesnt bother me that bad. the 2.5" in front and 1.5" in back that they advertise is about right with my quick measurements that i took. the ride is as good if not better than before the kit was put on. i'd recommend it to those considering ordering one. i went out to take some pics today and realized my camera is messed up so ill put one up but its real bad quality. the normal quality picture is a before shot. just for comparison.

Nice improvement over stock huh. It looks better just to get the rake out of it.

I actually like the rake on it at stock height. But it does look good with your lift on it!!

See if this pic helps. Your original made me blind..lol

How is the installation process? Any drawbacks to this kit? Thanks in advance.

as far as installation, i payed a 4x4 place to do it. but i started a thread a while back asking about the readylift kit and installation was discussed. from that thread, i gathered that installation is pretty simple to do by yourself if you have the tools and a buddy or two. its just a spacer on the front and a longer shackle in the back. and a couple bump-stops to install.
as far as drawbacks, i'd say the only one is that it's not gonna give u more flex or anything when u go off road. its pretty much a kit just for looks and gives you some more room for bigger tires. but i'd say that's the only one. like i said, the ride is just as good if not better than before i had it on, still gettin 20 mpg on trips back to nc.

Nice!! I think it looks way better than stock but I would rather have the stock rake on the Frontier than the reverse rake of the Toyota, say the 4Runner? lol. Nice install. And those blacked out wheel are much cleaner looking.

Sounds perfect for what I am looking to do. I don't offroad but wanted a little better look to the truck.

I just wonder if I will have to do any modifications with my pro comp wheels. Already had a minor rub when turning hard to get in a parking spot. Got that fixed with a heat gun.

I too have used the readylift system, it took my dad and me about 5 hrs with hand tools. I love the completeness of the kit it comes with everything for a good price. I would recomend it to many frontier owner that wants a lift for a good price.
