Hey guys, Since i've been working on cars and bikes, I've never, ever taken a short cut... I always go all-out. HOWEVER, I recently sold my 2003 cobra to buy a house, and I'm picking up an Xterra for a daily driver. I'd like to do a little mudding with it, so I'm hoping I can do a low-budget set-up so I can have some fun on the weekends. I'll most likely run stock wheels with All Weathers during my commute, but throw some bigger tires, maybe wheel spacers for the weekends. I am not looking to do hardcore off roading (yet) so I am thinking of just doing a 2" BL and a set of 33's or something.

Anybody have pics of Body Lift Only trucks?
Pics of blue xterras are good too.

I have read up in the susp. and tire forums about the PML, and BL, and just looking for some pics.

everyone is going to tell you to use the search button!

3" body lift plus 32" BFG MT tires:::

Everyone is going to ask you to learn how to use the quote function! :p

I did search, but there's like one pic for every 10 results. i don't see the harm in posting up, it's not like these ar high-traffic forums. In the first page of "pictures" posts, there's a weeks worth of threads... im not getting in the way of anything important.

Sweet! Right color X, Right color wheels... nice!

I was leaning towards 2" to avoid steering mods.

I just put my BL on this weekend and haven't taken any pics yet but I'll take some and post em up..I'll take a side by side shot with my wifes stock X so you can compare the looks.

Sorry for the crappy phone pic, but I took this at work this morning:



Kinda makes that Pathy look like a station wagon.

Before 2" BL on 32s


After 2" BL with 33s

I know you asked for body lift only but this is all I have to offer. I was running a 3" bl and a 3" sl with 33x12.50.

You know, if you do a 3" susp. lift and a 2" body lift, you can fit 35s on there with some "trimming"

Of course, when you get around to doing a SAS, and you will do an SAS , you'll already have tires that are the right size for it!!!!!

Kaiser, your X looked pretty good with just the body lift though...impressive.

Well hell, if we're just gonna' post pics of our trucks .. Here's a 3" SL and 2" BL on 33s-

This one's for Dave, cause I know he thinks I'm pretty :p

Pretty much same set up as Dave.
3" SLR sus. lift, 2" body lift and 35" MT/R's
and yes, quite a bit of trimming.

Alright, why not?

PML 2" BL and 33's:

I want to do the 2" body lift but I'm not too sure about the gap between the grill and Shrock bumper. Hmmmmmmmm...........

with round head lights it will look fine..

relocate the bumper.

Nice pics from Payette, Dan. Let's hit that trail soon.

Didn't he say BL only? It looks like everyone already has their shackles on....

At the time of those pics I'm pretty sure I still hadn't done the poor man's lift.

'course NOW I have a teeny tiny bit more lift:

Yeah that is why you cant find what you are looking for using the search, everyone posts something different than what was asked....

Kaiser...that's the fuckin cat's meow....sorry, back to 2"BL's

how? are there holes predrilled for a 2" BL? Or do you just drill your own?

PAGE 2 ERIC, CLICK ME

Hmmmmm, what about the rear Shrock?

PS-thanks, Dan! How's the pup doing by the way?

Thanks for asking He's made a full recovery (nearly $1000 in vet and emergency clinic bills), and is doing great. He's gonna' be wheeling in Sedona with me tomorrow too.
