I just completed the rear shackles on my 2008 Nissan Frontier. Here is just a helpful hint. You won't need to use a pry bar if you remove the shocks.

had to look twice. I measured and there is a significant height distance at the front. Nice. I have a 2.5 lift. actual is 2" when I checked the manufacture. 2" in the rear which leaves the back still 1" higher than the front.

You may want to look at springs in addition to the spacers. I just built a front-mount receiver that's concealed within the factory bumper for my '15, it's heavy enough t take around a quarter inch off my ride height. When I put the winch on a slide-in mount into the receiver I'm down somewhere between 3/4" and 1" from stock. Still haven't settled on what springs I'm going to go with, or what shocks. If I go sort of OE, R51 Nissan Pathfinders had an optional V8, and the front coils were a little bit longer than the factory V6 coils common to both the Pathfinder and the Frontier. They're a possible contender. I'm also looking at aftermarket springs, but haven't yet evaluated shock travel into the equation. I wouldn't mind gaining around an inch of extra height over the stock ride height pre-changes but I don't want to go too crazy.

what I wonder about with the "In addition to" part...it seems like a spacer is going to compress the spring. If you get stiffer springs on top of the spacer compression, wouldn't the truck feel like you're riding on rocks? Wouldn't be better if you need stiffer springs just to get springs and better shocks and ditch the spacer? Just asking.

@@armandoarroyo I ended up selling the frontier in 2022. I ended up not needing them. The dealer said there was no issue with them stock ones. I would say if you want to buy them just to make sure then go ahead and get them just in case you need them. Every place requires something different. It’s mainly for alignment purposes if I remember correctly. Sometimes with some kits the stock bolts aren’t long enough.

Hey I just installed the Supreme suspensions 3/2" kit which is very similar to the RC kit. However, the rear shackles didnt give me the full 2 inches in lift (only about a half inch - 1) and appeared to almost instantly cause my leaf springs to start forming a "W" instead of the arch they had before. Now my truck is borderline "squatting" and i cant seem to find any help online as to WHY the rear shackles didnt work as they should. Im considering removing the shackles and reinstalling my OEM shackles to preserve the life of my leafsprings and going the AAL route.
@vashman01

Supreme changed their lift kit and replaced the shackles with blocks that fit between the axle and the leaf springs. Doesn't mess with the springs that way and you get the full 2" out of it.
