i dint say anything about clearing bigger tires. i have different than stock backspacing, which is a problem the original poster will run into with the rims he's gonna use.

if i wouldnt have told you about the extentions you probably would have never even known they were there.

i lost maybe an inch in up travel. thats not enough for anyone to notice, if it were 5 inches then i would say its a problem, but its not. had i not switched to the different backspaced wheels, for the upcomming sas, i would not have bothered with the bump stops, or the cutting or removing plastic. cost me about $10 in nuts and bolts, and some scrap metal.

you guys bl your truck to get maybe 3/4 inch bigger tire, and maybe 1/2 inch rear diff clearance at best (over 32's). that is not something im willing to do for such a very small amount of diff clearance. $200 for the lift, relocating front and rear bumper, redrill and re-inforce front frame horns to keep the bumpers from looking like ass. no thanx.

but hey, everyones entitled to they're opinion. i dont like bl, some do.

thing that bothers me about the "BL Pimps" out there is when no matter what the question is, the answer is body lift.

i want to get a bigger than stock tire, answer: body lift. (no matter what size tires you get)

but i dont wanna get 33's on my truck:
answer: so what get a bl anyway.

i dont like the way may truck looks, i was thinking about getting my windows tinted.
answer: no way dude get a body lift instead.

i want to pick my kids from soccer practice, how can i do that best? answer: body lift.

my girlfriend broke up with me, what should i do?
answer: body lift.

look im not hating on people with body lifts, if you like them, fine, no sweat off my nuts. i like the xterras that have them and the ones that dont, i have nothing against the owners for putting a body lift on "THEY'RE" xterra. its just not something that i dont particularly care for.

now that thats done... hopefully we CAN get back on topic and not turn this into a war over body lifts.
