I daily drive my fronty, as I am sure many do here. However I have considered doing a 2" or 3" lift ony my 2010 SE CC, and I do plan on keeping the stock tire size. I want the stock look, but still that "there something different" look. So with a small lift like 2-3" and stock tire sizes, will this effect my gas mileage? I drive quite a bit and am not looking to hurt my gas mileage much. Can some one please give me an idea of what this will do to my gas mileage, if any (looking for city, as this is mostly what I drive).

Are you looking at body or suspension lifts?
Either way I THINK it wont hurt your mileage any as long as you run the stock tire size.

With a 3" lift 265/70/16s will look to small. Just get 2 inch spacers for the front and leave the back alone.

Edit: Im assuming you have 265/70/16s because ProX4 is mentioned nowhere.

I will most likely go with a 2 inch lift. However I am not partial to the look of leveling kits, I want to raise the suspention in all corners the same amount. Do you recomend any kits that will do this for me, and wont break the bank?

2" lift front n back actually doesn't look bad. I even liked it better than just the 2" in the front with the spacer to level the truck. It's my current set up right now with stock 265/70/16. It still gives you the stock look with a lil bit of aggressiveness to it. I don't see it hurting my gas mileage. The only bad part.....it makes me want to lift it more.

Yes, this is exactly what i wnat to do, what set up did you use and what was the cost?

If you can can pm me some pics of what your set up looks like?

This is where I got mine from PRG Products there's a selection to get the 2" spacer n the variable shackles and that's exactly what I have. Install was pretty easy DIY. I'm not that mechanically savvy so I went for the shackles, otherwise I would've went for the deaver leaf.

I'll see about getting pictures taken today. lol. I might take a ride to a nissan dealer and take a pic side by side with a stock one. Also, mine is a KC. Man I wished I would've gotten the CC instead. I looked at one the other day and for the extra room in the back I'll take that over having a 6ft bed.

 

[openmind10988]

I think my laziness doesn't wanna get out today, here's a pic I took looking at from my balcony on the 3rd floor.

 

[openmind10988]

And here's a pic of a stock CC that's also in the same apartement area I live at. Excuse me from not having a good pic taken. But hey that's the best I can do from my balcony.

 

[2010FrontierGuy]

Thanks man I am definately gonna go for the 2 inch all the way around. Did you have to get an alignment after the install?

I have both the cc and a 6ft bed

I've emailed Greg/PRG and asked him the same thing. His replied was 1 out of 5 (or 10, I cant remember which) ppl would need to get an alignment done. As of right now you can adjust the toe on your truck, but not the camber and caster. I did mine and haven't gotten it align yet. I think you might be alright without it. But then again I'm also going to get new set of wheels n tires in the future so I don't really care about my tires right now.

 

[openmind10988]

I've warned you that the 2" lift might make you want to lift your truck a lil higher. If you have the money you might want to consider getting something that you can use in the future to increase your ride height. The back is pretty straight forward, you can combine the shackle, blocks, and AAL to increase the height. But for the front, you might wanna research a bit.

I went with PRG long ago, 2" front, 2" rear. I also ran stock tires for 4 months after I put the lift on (until they were suitably trashed and I could justify replacing them). I saw no change at all in mileage from the lift.

I will say, the truck looks much better lifted and with bigger tires...

 

[openmind10988]

I see on your sig. you're running 285/75/16. I just saw one not too long ago, even talked to the guy, he was only running a 2" spacers and 1.5" blocks. Had only minor rubbing issue on the passenger side. Did you have any rubbing issues?

 

[Hazekillax]

I just had the Calmini 2" shackle suspension kit put on my nismo. It looks alot better!!! It's just like you say...you can tell that it isn't stock but the tire size doesn't look too small either. Here is the link for where I ordered mine.Nissan Xterra, Frontier, Pathfinder & Hardbody Pickup 4x4 Parts at Rugged Rocks Off Road Make sure it will fit on your year though...This is what mine came out looking like. GOOD LUCK
