@@juliomadriz is that body and Suspension? What kit did you use?
@juliomadriz8 ай бұрын
No body lift. All suspension. This was not necessarily a “kit” I just pieced it together over time. It’s essentially a Titan swap. 3.5 inches is about factory height for Titan geometry. My goal was to sit about half way into the travel and retain as much down travel as possible for articulation. This setup takes the most advantage out of the 10 inches of travel I have in the front. That said I believe multiple vendors sell Titan Swap “kits” now.

That FJ has a long arm travel kit, pretty expensive mod and adds a ton of travel to the FJs limited travel stock suspension. I tried to like the FJs but don't like the front seating drivers positing feels very awkward. I do however really like my Xterra very comfortable and very capable off road after some minor suspension mods.
