Elevation Adjustment.....DOWN

Okay i know i will probibly catch a lot of shit for this since i see a lot of off roaders here but here goes. I was wondering if anyone has lowered their X? I want to drop it about 1.5"-2", is it just a simple torsion untwist and blocks in the rear, or is there more to it than that? Also is there any stiffer replacement sway bars out there for an 03'? Please post any sugestions that may HELP. Thanks

SEARCH!!!!!!!!!!! Yes you will catch a lot of shit! Some other people have done it. "If" you drop the Torsion bars you will be riding on the lower bumpstops in the front. Rear??? Maybe a block?

Ian, he's in your neck of the woods. Think you can pay him a visit and knock some sense in him? Brent

Now now, we don't know if it's a 4x4 yet or not. Still, it would be ruining a perfectly good Xterra, and that's just a heinous.

Well from the sound of it the prejudice of anything street related is pretty strong. If i can post without all of the bullshit responces then yes i would be very intrested in learning more about the X and owners. But if all i am going to recieve is smart ass comments then HELL NO. So you tell me if it is really worth my time?

just ignore them man... especially ian seriously most of the grief you recieve here is ignorance coupled with different taste... Ian and i have argued various topics back and forth for over 3 years now... generally its not worth arguing about... same thing is probably true as far as "street" goes... most here won't understand you desires but some will and they will give you what info they have... just ignore the shit and take the usefull info.... as harsh as some members here are, they are for the most part good people... except for maybe NYMadman

I've seen lowered Excursions, Expeditions, GJCs, and even a few Wrangler's slammed to the ground with bling-bling 18" or larger chromies on 'em! Lowering a 4x4 is da bomb! Get with the program, dude, it's the wave of the future! Just take a look at these pics!!

Wake up man - if you know other lowriders/mini truckers, you should also that the Xterra has a classic mini-truck suspension. Install blocks and crank down the torions bars. Then go get an alingment and get your scrape on - If your truck is a 4x4, don't lower it - It really doesn't make any sense....

Why don't you go ask this guy what he did? He's over on the AC board under the lowered section. :rolleyes: Axle

Wow, I never thought I'd see an X look like a Subaru Forester...at least there would be more room for golf clubs and tennis equipment. :rolleyes:
