Will you are correct. That is a pre-'05 Xterra showing in there and Koko is correct as well. There is no changes what so ever in doing the shackle or AAL install as they have the same exact procedures. Since I didn't get the shackles done yet I wanted to be able to have the complete write up done so that if someone else got their lift kit before I got mine installed they could go straight ahead and have no issues with it.
