[@hkhvr13]

The barefoot mechanic! Awesome video!

[@RisenSonAdventures]

Got to be comfortable. Thanks for stopping by, hope you continue to stick around and look for upcoming videos. I have several planned for the truck and fishing adventures. The truck I have planned on moving the roof rack to the camper shell, prepping the roof basket, and some mods on the interior and exterior. and adding LEDs to Tag lights and front fog lights. so stick around for the upcoming mods

[@ws-mitch3256]

Great video!

[@RisenSonAdventures]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@michaelhearn3829]

Very cool. I'm gonna have to get Richard to put my son's 3.5 inch rough country lift kit on.... :)

[@RisenSonAdventures]

He can do it. Did a great job on mine

[@CajunManNick1980]

Have this same exact lift kit. Love it, but I don't do major offroading. I only installed it to get more ground clearance to help when changing oil or going to and from worksites. And the occasional high water issue I run into here in south Louisiana.......

[@RisenSonAdventures]

Nick, I love the lift Kit, it made the Frontie look like a beast. I am a professional Kayak angler and I travel down some back roads to get to some really good fishing spots. I too do not do major off roading but wanted to make sure that I was able to clear medium size obstacles if needed. Please make sure to hang around and subscribe for more fishing adventures and for more truck mods. Up coming will you find how to change the spark plugs and gaskets, moving the roof rack to the camper shell, adding a roof basket and prepping that same basket for more rust protection, adding some more esthetics to the outside and inside of the vehicle. And installing LEDs in tag and fog lights.

[@coyoteself]

Since doing that, have you noticed any banging in the front end, where the upper control arm bottoms out on the cup for the top of the cup where the strut connects to the frame? Something that pretty common when adding a puck on top of the struts. When doing the lift on my PRO-4X, I thought that I had avoided that issue by using Bilstein 5100s with the ADO Coil Springs. Sadly I didn't avaid the banging issue. So time to upgrade the upper control arms to ones that wont bang against the cup

[@RisenSonAdventures]

Hey Paul, I have not had any issues with this on my Frontier. I did not replace the front struts and springs or control arms, because everything that I researched stated it was not needed with a 3" lift. With my truck having 100,000 plus miles I did replace the rear shocks and it truly made a difference in the ride. But as far as cupping out and banging I have had no issues. Thanks for stopping buy and please make sure to subscribe to the channel. I have more mods coming and tomorrow starts the 2022 kayak tournament season so there will be some fishing videos coming.

[@peterdaniel66]

What color is that? It looks like Forged Copper but that didnt come out until 2016

[@RisenSonAdventures]

I will check for you and get the paint code

[@russtheman9755]

Is it now necessary to get an alignment?

[@RisenSonAdventures]

Hey Russ, It is recommended, but I did not get an alignment because it did not throw the truck off or out of alignment. If you notice any irregular wear then I would get it checked out. but mine has not shown any signs of being out of line. Thanks for stopping by and please make sure to like and subscribe to the channel. I will be making more mod videos coming soon. Roof basket, moving rack to the camper shell, and other things.

[@destinationoverland2831]

What’s the axle wrap like?

[@RisenSonAdventures]

With it being only 3" and a block riser, I have not noticed any torque issues with the springs. The truck still rides just as it did stock.

[@anthonysparks4225]

I did the same lift on my and I got a horrible clunk when I went over bumps. Is this a common thing??

[@RisenSonAdventures]

Make sure everything is tight, but I haven't noticed anything like that from my install, even on speed bumps no major noise from the lift, just from the truck Chassy itself. thanks for stopping by make sure to like and subscribe and thanks for the comment

[@Daniel5Foot7Ninja1]

Did you need longer brake lines?

[@RisenSonAdventures]

Dan thanks for stopping by, and no I didn't everything else just fit perfectly with no issues. It has performed well and really made to truck pop with excitement

[@michaelescalante7718]

Did u have any coil bucket contact after installation?

[@RisenSonAdventures]

Michael thanks for stopping buy, please make sure to share the channel with you friends, hoping to get to 1000 subs this year. I did not have any coil bucketing after the installation. And it rides really good. gives it just enough lift to make it feel like a totally near look.

[@ews-texas5258]

All I needed to see was him separating the knuckle from ball joint and he skipped over it😂

[@RisenSonAdventures]

We are sorry about that but thank you for stopping by. Please don't be shy and share the channel we are working on more mods for this truck, just getting the time to complete them with real jobs is tough. It wasn't that hard though.

[@6_seven_1]

Are those 3 inch lift blocks? And what rear shocks are you running?

[@RisenSonAdventures]

Brian, Yes the kit comes with 3" spacers for the front and 3" blocks for the rear. I purchased Rough Country Shocks because i could not find anything that actuall said for 3" lift on the Bilstein shocks. Thanks for liking and subscribing to the channel. I will be doing the next mod soon by adding a roof basket to the camper shell

[@6_seven_1]

@@RisenSonAdventures awesome. Just did the same lift on my 08 crew cab as well. The rear shocks are at its full extent. Gonna look into the rough country shocks as well. Thank you for the info

[@RisenSonAdventures]

@@6_seven_1 you are very welcome. I enjoy making my truck look good as it can. Mid Life Crisis some say. but I tournament fish from a Kayak and we must keep our travel wagons happy. I just got back from Santee Cooper SC, and boy did it whip my but. It was tough and I was only 2 inches from the National Champion so it wasn't all bad.

[@DylanNocito123]

i’m thinking about getting this lift for my truck, my truck only has 40k miles though and was wondering if i need to get bigger shocks or if i can run the stock ones for a while?

[@RisenSonAdventures]

From what I gathered, and I did not change the front shocks or struts on mine. I did change the rear, but it was not necessary. The only reason I did it was I have 11600 miles on it, and it needed new shocks. Please make sure to subscribe to the channel and share it please just trying to grow. I am working on more mods and videos, but as of yesterday the truck will be in the shop a deer decided to commit suicide and creamed into the passenger side rear door and back quarter. Oh Man am I sick.

@@RisenSonAdventures thanks man i appreciate it, and i’m already subscribed lol, my truck only has 40k miles so i think i’m going to leave my stocks for now

@@DylanNocito123 yeah I wouldn't buy it if you dont have too. I love mine and the look. Once I get the damage from the deer fixed I will show another mod by adding a roof basket.

[@daytonmenzsa2556]

do you think i could use these with a 6 inch lift ?

[@RisenSonAdventures]

Dayton Give me a little more to work with to understand the question when you say use these.

[@daytonmenzsa2556]

@@RisenSonAdventures the 3 inch blocks and spacer will it work with a 6 inch rough country lift like bring it a up 3 more inches and equal to 9

[@RisenSonAdventures]

@@daytonmenzsa2556 you probably could but I don't think I would go that route due to stability and to many factors in the equation that could fail. I would google that idea and see what you come up with. I'm sure it's going to be a suspension lift for sure.

[@cameronedwards1241]

How’s the lift been holding up so far?

[@RisenSonAdventures]

Cameron it is doing great, just got the truck back from the body dr, due to a deer decided to commit suicide. But the lift rides really well. And 3 inches all around stills gives the truck the rear cantor that it needs to handle loads.

[@cameronedwards1241]

@@RisenSonAdventures glad it’s back safe and sound! How’s it holding on the trails any issue with coil bucket contact?

[@RisenSonAdventures]

@@cameronedwards1241 it flex's pretty good on moderate trails, its 2wd so I dont run the major difficult trails, but if I was going to do that I would have definitely ran new front shocks and springs and added new control arms for more flex. I'm looking at that for the future.

[@Juice421fs]

How much of a hit was it on your mpg's?

[@RisenSonAdventures]

Savyas69, this truck being a V6 didn't have the greatest gas mileage any way, but it didn't really affect it that much with the larger tires they are heavy and that's what reduced the mileage about 2 miles less on the gallon. And with the new government those gas prices are out the butt.

[@Juice421fs]

@@RisenSonAdventures oh I totally agree on not the best mpgs. I have a pro4x and get 15ish. 17.5 if I drive calmly and let cruise control handle it as much as possible! Lol. But thx for the response man. Beautiful truck btw

Also will be doing a review on the floor mats that I got from oreda

[@sharklover8728]

Hey I had a question, are the shocks necessary? I’m not looking to spend too much money on a lift and I’m new to the truck game

[@RisenSonAdventures]

Are you talking about the rear shocks. If so the reason I changed them was the truck had 12000 miles on it and the original shocks. So i went with the rough country because of the lift. The front suspension i did not change and i haven't had any problems. But they weren't that expensive for two was like 100 dollars. It was well worth it for the ride. Thanks for stopping by and make sure to like and subscribe I have more mods to come. With LEDs, tent, roof basket and more.

[@Patdu0818]

Hows the ride so far? And your uca Any coil bucket contact?

[@RisenSonAdventures]

The Supreme Suspension so far is performing great. I did not have to change the upper control arms and I have not had any contact from the bump stops at all. The ride is smooth, I did have to get use to the height a little but it rides good. The rough country shocks helped alot also. With the number of miles on the vehicle I'm very pleased with the lift performance

[@Patdu0818]

@@RisenSonAdventures thank you so much sir.

[@RisenSonAdventures]

Your Welcome, Thanks for stopping buy

[@n0pe213]

I’m considering getting a similar frontier with similar miles, what little stuff have why had to deal with so far? Also how would you (or your friend) rate the ease of working on the frontier compared to other trucks? Thanks so much!

[@as5950]

I had a 2015 4x4. Best truck I ever owned. Bought it new. And put an air intake and exhaust on it. It had 112k miles 5 years later in sept 2020 when it was totaled in a car accident. 0 issues. Just basic maintenance. Tires. And a battery. I came to this video because I just bought a 22 frontier and I’m putting this same lift on it ! And may I add that the 4.0 V6 was still running like a dream. Had a lot more left in it. Didn’t have any leaks no oil burning. Nothing. The frontier is highly under-rated truck legit best bang for buck you can get in midsize segment.

[@RisenSonAdventures]

NO213, I have had this truck since 2014 so it's going on 7 yrs. now. I have had no problems with it. Just made sure to do proper Maintenace, as far as the modifications they have been pretty easy. The lift wasn't hard at all and didn't take us long we were just pressed for daylight time due to work. We plan on doing the spark plugs and seals soon and that is not hard but a little time consuming due to you have to remove the manifold to get to the plugs. But over all a great truck and it has done me pretty well. I travel all over the US and tournament fish from a Kayak. So, no complaints here. Thanks for the comment and make sure to like and subscribe and please share the channel.

[@bayareakat66]

You don't have to remove the manifold on the D40. I used a swivel & was successful. The only thing was one of the wires separated and had to in order to slide it out to get access to the plug. I was able to finesse it back together and voila! Saves time and headaches!

[@Daniel-wg4sw]

I was thinking about getting this lift too! My truck rakes so I might get the 3” front 2” rear to level it out.. you got the stock upper control arms?

[@Daniel-wg4sw]

Do you reckon I get UCAs if I’m gonna do this lift with stock suspension? I wonder if your N3 shocks help out with no contact

[@RisenSonAdventures]

Daniel I really enjoy this lift, and yes I used the stock control arms with 32 in Nito ridge grapplers. With Nissan already having the canter effect this lift raises the vehicle and still makes the rear look a little higher. The N3 shocks made a difference in the ride and the number of miles I had on the truck was my factor in purchasing those.

[@RisenSonAdventures]

You can get the upper control arms but they are not needed. I have not had any bump issues with the stock suspension. But in the future I will probably get the upper control arms with new front shocks and springs. great kit though. Thanks for responding and thanks for helping me grow. I have a cargo basket that Im going to place on the top and a camper shell coming by the 1st of the year. I tournament kayak fish and just enjoy the outdoors. Wanted to make the truck look a little mean.

[@proudarmedreadytobugaloode6295]

Man. Too bad there isn't a time of day that would have allowed you to film in good light conditions. Oh, wait....

[@RisenSonAdventures]

Yeah, we worked as fast as we could on the rear thinking it would be the easiest to do. But having to drill out holes took up some time. It worked out ok, and then right before Christmas Bam, a deer decided to destroy the rear passenger side door and bed side. It's been repaired no and will be doing a recap on the process, and then back to moding this thing out some more. Thanks for stopping by.

[@lifted0422]

U can literally just take the strut out without taking all the other shit apart that u did

[@RisenSonAdventures]

The front was easy, it was mainly just dropping that one strut down to position the spacer. Thanks for stopping by.

[@f5fstop]

Can't see anything great about this video. After doing basically the same type of lift, rear and front this guy is wasting too much time, doing to much removal for the same results. Rear blocks can be added with rear tires on ground. Just lift the spring in the front of the axle to allow room for a block to slip in place. Honestly, never seen anyone take this much time to add lift block even if having to drill out the lower bracket bolts. Why remove the steering linkage from the lower control arm? You can pull out the coilover assm without and installing it should be ok even with a lift spacer. Removing the spindle from the upper control arm ball joint will allow the lower control arm to drop after the top of the coilover is disconnected from the top bucket. Does not appear the UCA was replaced. Is there any coil bucket contact? I know on later model Frontiers over 1.5" spacer...for sure CBC; 1.5" maybe, maybe not, maybe some small grinding of the bucket can fix.

[@RisenSonAdventures]

Thanks for stopping buy and I agree with everything you stated in your comment. This was our first one we had ever done. We watched a bunch of videos in order to get an idea of how and where to start. We also made notes that when and if we ever needed to do another one, we would make it a lot easier. As far as the bucket issues I have not had any issues at all. Even doing the mod, it did not throw the front end out of alignment. Please sub to the channel and I appreciate the comment.
