I have finally started gathering parts to do my titan swap but I've got a question. I want to use PRG's SAW Coilover with the four inch lift. Will I run into any issues using the stock titan upper control arms? Im wanting to make sure there won't be any coil bucket contact during everyday driving and light offroading.

I could probably expect contact at with more dramatic wheeling right?

i think you shouldnt, but you might at full droop, the aftermarket uppers arent any wider, just designed a little different to no make contact.
i think a few people have swapped with stock titan maybe they will chime in.

edit:
damn you dubie! same time, hahahah he answered better than i could.

Im not worried about CB contact at full droop. Im just looking for about an inch or more of clearence between the UCA and the Coil Bucket when my truck is sitting on flat pavement. Do you think I would have even that?

You should try contacting a member here that goes by bwarren. He used to run a T-swap with the stock Titan UCA's. I believe he changed them out because the ball joints couldn't handle the extra travel, or something like that.

I think if you crank the CO to 4", the space between the UCA and CB is going to be about equal as if you just kept your 2" lift and Frontier arms.

If I was going to do what you are looking to, I would go into it knowing that I may have to upgrade to some aftermarket arms. If you go into this with that state of mind, then you should be okay and if you have to upgrade, it isn't a surprise or anything.

Thank you! That is exactly what I need to know!

???? I'm using PRG's Titan UCA's with my King's and even with a 1 1/4" spacer I have no contact. How much lift do you have up front?

Just read your sig, 8"? I think the OP should be fine because he's 4wd.
