yes i know this topic has been brought up many times. but the searches have brought up issues of mysterious part #'s, as well as people with different set ups.
i'm going to get the calmini 3" lift. i'm not planning on getting a winch or bumper, i don't tow and i rarely carry anything heavy enough to bother mentioning.
all i do with my xterra is drive in the city and offroad a few times a month. what model of bilsteins should i get? i would prefer a bias towards the offroading, since i'll be able to compensate for any city-driving hinderance.
thank you.

If you get the full lift at one time it comes with shocks to work with the lift.

i'm gettin the lift from calmini, but i'm getting the shocks from bilstein.

I would get the 10 percent stiffer ones for the front and 20 percent for the back for when the swaybar is disconnected. Make sure to get the entended length ones.

The part numbers from SLR are

Front BL5-13
Rear BL5-11

Spencer Low Racing

thanks. it seems the numbers on the slr site and the ones i see on some online-order sites are different, but i'll go w/ the slr ones.

well i went with what the slr guys told me. i got the shocks in this week.

front: F4-B46-1099-H0
Rear: F4-BE5-2401-H0

yes i know the numbers are different than what's mentioned on the site, as well as other sites...but at this point i just decided to trust the guys at slr.

once the torsion bars, leafs, etc comes in, i'll be heading over to a sccx member's to install.

Cool good luck with the install. The shocks are a breeze. T-bars can be a bit tricky. Never installed aal's so dunno.
