NISSAN FRONTIER PRO-4X NISMO 1.5" Lift Kit - Will the control arm hit? We put it to the test!

[@justaname109]

I put this on my 2023 pro 4x a few weeks ago and love it. It definitely seems to stiffen the suspension a bit, which I actually like. I don’t feel like it’s as “floaty”. Easy install, quality parts, the new camber bolts we’re definitely needed, so it was nice they were included. Also, in my opinion, this is how it should look from factory. I was quite happy when I came out of the grocery store the other day. A tacoma TRD pro was parked right next to me and my frontier with just this mild lift definitely boosted my confidence that I made the right choice between the taco and the Nissan. It really does change the look.

Last 45 secs is what you came for

[@Bhill-jo2wg]

Just had them installed on my 22 Frontier. No issues, gives the truck A nice look perfect if not wanting to Spend big money for control arms and your not doing extreme offroading.

[@Ashoud_Anobetah]

Exactly what I'm looking for

[@CityOverlanding-dz4hc]

Great video! Thanks for posting this. I've heard that coil bucket contact was a challenge with spacer kits, so I opted for the RCKilla kit from All Dogs Offroad. They assured me that I wouldn't have any CBC issues, so I can't wait to have this installed.

[@4rr44E]

Yep. I put a 2” lift on my 22 Pro-4X and had coil bucket contact. So I put on the Z1 Off Road upper control arms. No more contact and more travel!

[@codylambeth4051]

Just bought a 24 pro4x and having a hard time finding a lift for it, what brand did you go with? Thanks!

[@fernando629]

Coming from a 2011 Pro-4x and spending years looking into lifts and what nots, I can say this. The main issue with the Frontier is the design, this video is perfect showing this issue, for years we were told that a 1.5" lift would not cause coil bucket contact and this shows that even with a NISMO part it will 100%. Again, due to the coil bucket design. If you want to lift a frontier, I would suggest always going for after market upper control arms first, this will avoid CBC 90% of the time.

[@Teenys.garage]

I figured it'd be the same. It's the same suspension as the last gen and they didn't change the geometry at all. Just something to watch out for when running a spacer lift

[@JT-ld5kh]

I got the Ready Lift 2.5" 1.5" that kit comes with bump stops and adjustable camber bolts. Hopefully, that helps, idk.

[@PRO4XKEV]

IMO using this kit for a daily highway queen truck only is just fine. It takes a lot to get that UCA to tap the coil bucket tower, and when it does hit it is barely a tap.

[@Nazim-u9w]

Hello, i went to 4 Wheel Part and Desert Rats in Phoenix and no one wants to intall a 2" lift kit on my 2024 Pro 4X cause it's not yet approved !!!! WTF ! Any suggestions ? It could take up to 6 months they said.

[@MrLos84]

Nice to know your a local 💪🏽 I’ve got a 23 Pro4x

[@jc6618]

Same! 23 Pro 4x and I’m here in Mesa.

[@nikonmark37814]

Nissan needs to put out a Nismo version of the the Pro4x!

[@nissanpartscc]

I'm with you on that!

[@JVRottweil]

I wish it weren't a leveling kit but actually kept the rake. I tow a boat and often have a load in the bed

[@Ashoud_Anobetah]

You need an additional leaf if you want that or a shackle lift

[@Jared-C]

Surprised it taps. Curious to see if the nismo arms have any additional clearance.

[@nissanpartscc]

They would provide more clearance for sure.

[@daywalker4029]

they may have clearance on the 1.5" spacer but they do not if you try to use them with a 2.5" spacer like a rough country

[@Ashoud_Anobetah]

Thanks for making this video.. im still going to install this . That contact is very minor.. and im not going to be jumping any dunes on my daily commute.. I just eat alot of tacos for breakfast😅

[@nissanpartscc]

🌮 = 😁

[@DaveSmith-og7lf]

What tires and wheels im looking and like those

[@GUSTAVORAMIREZ-hx4nh]

Thanks for all the videos 👍🏻 If I install the 1.5 inch lift on my 2023 frontier can I run 285/70R17 tires on it?

[@PRO4XKEV]

Yes, but 275 70 17 work better.

[@brantschenkrealtor]

If you ran a different upper control arm would it hit?

[@nissanpartscc]

It would depend on the control arms you run. The Nismo Control Arms will prevent this. Like these www.nissanparts.cc/oem-parts/nissan-nismo-off-road-front-upper-control-arms-frontier-xterra-54525fxuca?c=bD04Jm49Q2F0ZWdvcnkgUGFnZQ%3D%3D

[@rodneymiracle3224]

What size wheels and tires are on that thumbnail pic? Looks great.

[@nissanpartscc]

Thats just the stock size for the pro-4x - 265/70R17

[@kevinstarski1598]

Is that acceptable? How much worse is it with the lift? I mean, when you offroad, you're hitting all these imperfections...what is that going to do to the suspension hitting like that?

[@nissanpartscc]

Its going to make a noise and annoy you.

[@LG-yy2up]

You will definitely have major control arm damage always... Sad that Nissan carried over the old gen suspension

[@1393floyd]

Does the contact cause any issues or is it just more so annoying??

[@kennak476]

Take a grinder or cutoff wheel and take the top off that strut.

[@dronemafiaproduction.]

Why is the back blocks 1.5 a front is only 3/4 does it look weird ?

[@tonyj9502]

Will this kit void any Nissan warranty? If install by yourself?

[@Blue-moon12]

No. As long as it's installed correctly and not the cause of any failure.

2:42 😂😂😂 thanks for the shoutout bud!

Heyo!

Parts manager guy?

[@nissanpartscc]

He is a manager at another dealership. We met in Denver last summer.

[@elginwang1572]

Nice test. I am planning to get the Nismo lift kit from you guys. So, for situation like this, what should I do to avoid the issue? Any Nisomo control arms will clear it? Or any other brands you would recommend? Thank you!

[@nissanpartscc]

The controls would prevent this. I had to hit a speed bump going pretty fast to make this happen. While it *can happen its not going to happen under normal circumstances.

[@elginwang1572]

@@nissanpartscc I see. Does Nismo offer control arms? Or do you recommend any brands?

[@nissanpartscc]

Nismo Arms should be released anytime now. Obviously I'm going to recommend those. 😉 Stay tuned!

[@elginwang1572]

@@nissanpartscc Thanks! Btw is this lift kit only for the front or it's going to lift the rear and the front?

[@nissanpartscc]

Front and rear. Check out our other videos on this kit where we go into more details just hit the Frontier playlist.

[@meowofsadnessjackson7654]

It looks like you could use a little shorter bolt and it wouldn't hit.

Can you hear the hit inside the truck?

Barely, but yes I noticed it. If your radio was half way up you probably wouldn't notice it.

[@dennisludwig5542]

I wish it lifted the back 1.5 as well

[@PRO4XKEV]

It does lift the rear, 1.5 inch.

[@marksullivan8200]

Nismo also sells upper control arms to go with the kit

[@nissanpartscc]

You gotta check out put newer videos. We have installed them.

[@kevinstarski1598]

I cannot find any videos with the new nismo spacers...curious if it fixed the issue@@nissanpartscc

[@Blue-moon12]

He mentioned that in the video and stated this kit didn't need it as per Nismo.

[@Logjammer69]

So pretty much under normal driving conditions it won’t happen lol

[@nissanpartscc]

Correct!

[@chrislapointe256]

Anyone else hear a small squeak from the back of this truck after the lift? It's only when you first hit the gas from sitting still. Does it reverse as well. Can't find where it is coming from. Sounds like a a bolt going in an out of a empty aluminum pop can to give you an idea of the sound.

[@nissanpartscc]

We have done quite a few of these lifts and never has that been a thing.

[@chrislapointe256]

Okay thank you it's just a little annoying lol. But that's the only issue ❤ love the truck.

[@vinovino9640]

Anyone installed the nismo ucas? Wondering if they clear the 1.5in spacers. I know that they don’t clear more than 2in.

[@nissanpartscc]

They clear the Nismo 1.5" just fine

[@vinovino9640]

Thanks good to know. Rather install all nismo components but if the nismo ucas didn’t clear would have to go ADO or Z1

[@vinovino9640]

Last question. Clear in 100% or in most daily driving situations? I do quite a bit of off-roading.

[@Euragone68]

To bad that Nismo didn't make it a 3" lift.. 1.5' just doesn't cut it! Just about everything Nismo is useless except for the Ladder Rack and everything else wasn't thought out very well..

[@mafosa9563]

better bump stops should help!

[@daywalker4029]

bump stop will not fix coil bucket contact since it happens when the suspension unloads.

[@mafosa9563]

on my 23 there a smal one on the upper control arm. thats what i was thinking of earlier@@daywalker4029

[@PRO4XKEV]

This kit comes with NISMO bump stop spacers.
