    Bay Area/Sierra recommendations for a mild first trip

    Bay Area/Sierra recommendations for a mild first trip

    Lifts?

    This question really depends on budget. Xterra uses leaf in rear (as you are aware) coil upfront IFS. You can use a very cheap lift ~$150 adding longer shacks in the rear but this means spacers between the body and the spring perch up front. This puts strain on the control arms, sway bar...

    What to do with that spare tire (trucks)

    I am sure this has been part of many discussions but I'd love to hear if there are any other creative ideas that have not been thought of... 1. Under the truck where it was designed to go: Honestly I'd love to do this but common problem over sized tires don't fit under the truck. 2. Custom...
