Melt mod done! ...no pics though, I forgot to take some lol! Lets just say the first one was kind of a hack job...and it might be in my best interest to find some inner plastics at a pick and pull and start again lol. The second one...not so bad.

During this whole process i managed to Bedline my rear bumper guard. ..I think thats what its called...

nice buddy, a lift will help alot plus make it almost look factory with beefier tires, I have those same tires, they came stock on my Xterra Pro 4x and I have no complaints about them and they seem to be wearing great, go give em a test in some mud or snow!

Yeah they are very nice rigs. It sucks they discontinued them. Mine were both XE's. When I searched for the second X I tried really hard to find an offroad manual "no smod" but didn't have any luck. Are you gonna titan swap your X?

I picked it up just a little while ago and man what a difference!!! I believe I got atleast 2 inches out of the springs. The ride is night and day, it really feels amazing compared to how it used to ride. It's really nasty out so please excuse the pics. I will post some better pics in the morning

What's your clearance now from the ground to the lowest part of the underbelly?

I'm not sure yet. I will have to do all my measuring in the morning. But I will definitely get that done asap! I really want to know as well.

Nice, I'm just curious to see how the "MOOG Lift" stacks up to the RRO Lift with FDII/modern FDI springs and bigger tires. Think my size is like .5" more diameter so it should only add like .3" height from the tires.
