🏞️ Frontier, Xterra Rough Country 1.5" Leveling Kit Shackles - 866 Review

They added a little over an inch in height to my Frontier which made it straighter after raising the front end. They fit perfectly and were easy to assemble. As powerful as they are, I can't foresee any problems with them.

This is great if you just want a little cover up for looks or whatever is good for hitting the trails once or twice. a month is ok, that's good. Everything else depends on how you use your truck.

Purchased to replace some BRAND NEW Dobinson shackles that the hardware removed during installation. They are strong and sturdy and have had no trouble with torque up to the factory specs of 77 ft/lb. On the other hand, the Dobinsons sorted it out, reaching up to 77 ft/lb of torque. Terrible gear and terrible customer service as they don't honor their warranty. I will never buy anything from Dobinson again.

Looks great! The facility wasn't bad. I found a trick on YouTube (Jack up the back of the truck so the wheels are off the ground. Then remove the stock struts and use a 2x4 between the frame and the struts to lower the leaf springs and just the new struts to attach). Not difficult at all. I added Rancho shocks by raising the front of the truck 2 inches. For tires I used BFGoodrich T/A KO2 265/75/16 all terrain tires.

I raised the front of my '13 Frontier 2' with lift springs and a Bilstein 5100. The truck had a slight squat and I prefer a slight tilt because I use my truck as a truck not just to look good they did a great job raising the rear end just enough to lean back a bit they spent more time putting the wheels on and off than the leaf springs and actually attaching the frame and cranking it up as long as the bolt holes lined up much easier than having someone pull the spring down Rides well looks cool
