Cheers, all. Can anyone chime in with some suggestions on 2nd gen Frontier lifts (2011 Pro 4X double cab short bed). Requisites are as follows:
-2-3" (already looked at OME's 1.5")
-NO block lifts in the rear
-NO spacers in the front
-NO front diff drops

It would be used hard, so it has to be functional and purpose-built. Frontiers are just a bit trickier to find stuff for than the Taco. Thanks all!

As an Xterra owner, I know the struggle to find good lift components. The OME stuff is what I would recommend, I don't think you'll be able to match the quality for the price.

What he said...

Your main issue is the OEM upper control arms. anything over 2.5" of lift gives you coil bucket contact.

With that said, I'm running a titan swap using SPC upper arms, Dorman lowers, 1st gen tundra 5100 Bilsteins, 4 runner springs with custom top hats. I'm up about 3" from stock and have near 10" of wheel travel. I did that method because I didn't;t want to run a coil over with heim joints up here in MN. Many people use an extended travel aftermarket coilover.

In the rear, Alcan's or other suppliers could get you springs.
