aloha guys just lifted my frontier this past weekend with 5100 with OME lift coils and OME leaf spring in the rear while looking at the lift I notice I still had a slight rake so I was wondering what options do I have to trying to level out the lift? My first initial thought was a coil spacer but with that said I would need to run aftermarket UCA to avoid CB contact. So was wondering what brand aftermarket UCa are you guys running? And how’s the clearance?
thanks you guys mahalo’s

How much of a lift were you supposed to get with that kit? You should still be okay without UCAs if it's 2 inches or under.

Also, if you just installed it this past weekend, then give it some time to settle. It's common to lose a little bit of height as you continue to drive in the days immediately after installing a lift kit. The Bilstein 5100 is adjustable, so are you already at the highest setting?

That said, SPC and ADO seem to be what most people on here run. Otherwise, Dirt King, Dobinsons, and Ironman 4x4 also make UCAs for the Frontier.

I’ve seen different responses on guys getting 2-2.5 inch I’m guessing mine was 2 inch I’ve measured the truck before doing the lift and it about a 2 inch different.
As the suspension settles the rear would settle more down? Or is it possible to for front to gain more height lol after the lift was done immediately seen the rake look like when I first got the truck just now the truck is higher lol
I’ve heard about about mevotech being spc rebranded? and I like the tubalar design on the Ado and I really don’t want to spend to much on dirtking and dobinson although those are nice!

I’m running the bilstein 5100s on mine and initially I had them at the highest setting. The ride was way too stiff and every small bump in the road felt like I was running over a cinder block. I called Greg at PRG and he was a huge help. Adjusted the 5100s to the middle setting at 1.5” and added his 1.5” top plate spacers and SPC UCAs. That made a tremendous improvement to the ride while also leveling the front to match the rear height with my OME Dakar leaf packs.

Yeah Indeed they do look good with a little rack I’m just hoping the rear will settle down just a tad bit It was said the OME medium leaf packs were supposed to give a bout 1.5 inch lift but I measured it after installing it roughly over 2inch thus giving a significant rake on the vehicle. Maybe in time if the rear will settle a bit I’ll probably be find a with a little rake.
