Those pics of your truck look awesome. I would love to do that to my 05 King Cab. How much did it cost to put the kits on, parts and labor include? I don't think I would go with tires that big, just for street use only.

The tires are 33x14.50 Nitto Mud Grapplers, wheels are 16x8 Eagle 102's, and yes I did have to trim a little at the rear of the fender. I have no idea on cost because Trailmaster/Performance Accessories has not released the kits yet. My truck was used for R&D by them. Pricing and availability should be released by the end of the month.

Is the CalMini kit a suspension lift? Does anyone knoow who sells it in Southern California? And how much is it?
BTW that truck in the pictures looks awesome! Is the body lift Kit a simple bolt on or do you have to make any modifications to the truck to install it?
THX!

Calmini is a suspension lift, go to www.purenissan.com to find vendors. The body lift is a bolt on.

I will wait ! Two keys to offroad performance #1 low center of gravity #2 big wheel travel progressivly dampened. I can see the frame on the side not too bad, in the rear not a good look. but then its body lifting. 05-06 frontier long travel kit ? not yet ! How about uniball upper arm , extended travel coilover shock and a deaver leaf spring pack! HOW ABOUT IT PRERUNNER GREG ? Oh and the offset of those wheels will probably eat your wheel bearings. click click click click tires too wide. my .02

For anyone that is interested in the CalMini lift. I talked to them on the phone 4/13 and I was told that the Frontier lift would be available for purchase directly from them within 30 to 40 days. He had no pricing information. Kind of vague I know! But that's all he would tell me. He said they were working on finishing other projects so that is the reason for the delay on release of the Frontier lift. I'll be checking back with them in mid May.

BECH LYF, I am not sure exactly what you were saying other than you didn't like body lifts, but I hope you find what you are looking for.

BECH LYF, I am not sure exactly what you were saying other than you didn't like body lifts, but I hope you find what you are looking for. irocfast, The point I was trying to make is, There is very little suspension performance (improvment) in a coil spacer or leveling kit and 0 in a body lift. The sole purpose of that kind of kit is to raise the truck to install larger tires. And I think your truck looks very nice, But when tooling around offroad you hit bumps,ruts & jumps and need more progessivly dampened wheel travel to aobsorb the shock. These kits do not provide this,and all the calmini kit does is lower the stock suspension 5" irocfast wrote: Yes, it has the 2-3 combo in those pics. You can run these in conjuction with the calmini 5", for a total of 10"....that would be awesome. 10" of lift with 0 performance + way too big tires LOSS OF PERFORMANCE. might look cool! however loss of performance and ROLLOVER! So to all fellow offroad enthusiasts DO YOUR RESEARCH do you want true offroad performance or a lift kit. And you are right irocfast I prefer not to have a body lift with all the frame & brackets hanggin out below. when you think about it there just stilts. http://www.ncdproducts.com/gallery/thumbnails.php?album=9
