3rd Gen D41 Nissan Frontier - Modified All Dogs Offroad RC Killa Suspension Kit for Overlanding

In this video, I'm going to walk you through my All Dogs Offroad RC Killa suspension lift on my 2023 Nissan Frontier Pro-4X. I modified it slightly to help adjust for the extra weight in the rear of my truck for carrying overlanding gear.
Check out the full video for all of the specifics of what I did and how it holds 1000 pounds of weight in the rear.
If you want to pick up the ADO RC Killa kit (great for new trucks that you don't want to spend big on suspension), here's a link: bit.ly/3KwFPql
And here are the longer shackles I used (about $60): amzn.to/3KbTsLd
Also, if you're wondering what spacers (1") I'm running. I went with these. I've used this brand across 3 different vehicles over the last 6 or so years and they've always been great. Reasonably priced too: amzn.to/3R4BPkn
I'm also trying something new with KZbin memberships. It's a simple way to support the channel if you'd like and you get early access to all the videos plus some other fun perks. If you're interested, click on the "Join" button below to see how it works!

The Frontier is looking good. I like the stance the suspension gives the truck 👌🏽

[@AllThingsOverlanding]

Thanks buddy!

[@treverlebarre5502]

Did you add wheel spacers or is that just from the larger tires?

[@AllThingsOverlanding]

@@treverlebarre5502 I've got these 1" wheel spacers on the truck: amzn.to/3xvUWNz

That sure is a nice campsite 😊

[@AllThingsOverlanding]

I do enjoy it, 😂

[@Yotatecher]

Just by the quick look I saw in the video your leafs look like they are starting to go flat almost looks even negative. I would go ahead and put those new leafs in. We see this at my shop all the time with the extra weight and stock leaf springs. Just my two cents, but love the content.

[@AllThingsOverlanding]

@@Yotatecher yeah, they’ve got about 16k on them with that weight on the whole time.

[@charlesboetel1324]

What tire size? Did you extend your bumpstops? You must drop your bumpstops to limit compression travel, both to clear the larger tires and to protect the springs. The shackle lift allows the leaf spring to compress beyond its limits and fatigue. If you do this right, your oem spring will not fail early.

[@AllThingsOverlanding]

Good to know. They’re 285/70R17 Kenda Klever RT’s.

[@jonlabani7851]

I've heard with coil front lifts more stress is put on the ball joints of the wheels. Does your build also account for that?

[@AllThingsOverlanding]

It might put a little bit more on it, but I think the difference is probably negligible. If you go much above the current lift, then most suspension manufacturers recommend replacing your upper control arms to adjust and allow for travel without contacting the coil bucket. I figure in 30 or 40,000 miles. I will probably go with a slightly larger lift and at that time I’ll replace upper control arms and do any needed maintenance at that time.

[@FilmREALMS]

coil bucket contact with those longer front springs?

[@AllThingsOverlanding]

Nope, none after probably 10K miles offroading.

[@zachpayne520]

Do you have a link to the wheel spacers you are using?

[@AllThingsOverlanding]

Yep, good question. Here's the link: amzn.to/3R4BPkn. I've run this brand of spacers on my last 3 cars over about 6 years or so and they've been great. Reasonably priced too.

[@zachpayne520]

@@AllThingsOverlanding thank you!

[@KC1PDW]

Have you looked into z1 2in shackle?

[@AllThingsOverlanding]

I didn't just because I decided to add a shackle right after buying the ADO lift and since it's basically just a few pieces of steel, I bought the cheaper set off Amazon. Long term, I'm going to swap out the rears for the ADO parabolic leaf pack to help with the weight and when my shocks wear out, I'll pick up the Koni's from ADO as well. I'm sure the Z1 shackle is nice though like most of their stuff!

[@kevinstarski1598]

Isn't the Rc Killa REPLACING the bottom "overload" leaf with an add-a-leaf?

[@AllThingsOverlanding]

Nope, just "adds a leaf" to the pack and includes longer u-bolts.

[@AllThingsOverlanding]

@@kevinstarski1598 Ha! Damn it, then I’m sure that’s right. I was actually working on building the drawer system and installing my bed rack while a buddy helped with the suspension so I assumed it was the normal addition of an AAL. Good to know!

@@AllThingsOverlanding It's all good. Just didn't want others to be mislead. As long as it all seems to work, well...what the heck...

[@trixsevenoneroyalbluez1257]

What size are your tires?

[@AllThingsOverlanding]

Stock Pro-4X 17” wheels and 285/70R17 Kenda Klever RT’s.

[@Nephrolith]

You running wheel spacers or is that just larger tires?

[@AllThingsOverlanding]

Yep, 1" wheel spacers all around. 285/70R17 Kenda Klever RT's for the tires.

[@garym51124]

The wheel spacers needed I assume with the 285 on stock wheels? I'm about to basically copy your entire build for my white pro4x and there isn't anything you can do about it haha

[@garym51124]

I'm also looking at the dirtbox topper. It's similar to the smartcap that we can't get for the frontiers

[@AllThingsOverlanding]

@@garym51124 ha ha, go for it. And realistically, I’m just running a wheel spacers because I like the poked look.

[@garym51124]

I feel ya...lol probably gonna do the same. The link says they don't fit the 3rd gen. I'm almost positive if they fit the 2nd they fit the 3rd. We'll obviously they do because you did it. Thanks for the quick reply. Happy 4th brother
