This is the best how to video i have ever seen!Excellent lighting and camera work.I'm a retired mechanic and found myself sucked into watching something i have done a million times before myself!Really well done.
Great step by step to follow. Just installed a 3n2 in my nav only thing I wasn't expecting was absolutely every nut and bolt being tighter than a nuns @#$$. Absolutely ridiculous. Ended up snapping a socket and having to cut a nut to get the stock uca out 😤😤
I’ve always wanted to see it done! So with your exhaust like race cars do run it out through a body panel like just behind the rear wheel on the rear tub quarter would look trick as!
Hey JP in regards to the exhaust just remove the big old hunk of junk DPF and or get a hollowed dpf so if you do get pulled over about the exhaust you shouldn’t get knocked off because it still looks like a dpf so the cops should let you go but it’s up to you bud Love the vids mate been watching your vids for a while now and I’m enjoying them keep it up
Hey man good video, I always like to see someone's install to see what unexpected challenges they encounter. One thing I noticed from your video is that you mentioned tightening all the bolts once the suspension is on the ground which is correct, but you should also loosen off & re-tighten any suspension arm with a rubber bonded bush (ie. trailing arms & panhard) so they are also unloaded at the new height.
Couldn't be any better timing, I've just been contemplating what suspension to put in my nav. Had been thinking comp shocks and now this video has made up my mind. Nice video mate. On parts man dans website it doesn't show a remote reservoir option, do you just have to ask for them, cheers.
stoked i could help Spoggy! i'm wrapped with my kit. i'm surprised they are not on the website man, yeh i would say best to give Dan a buzz and pick his brain about the remote resi options.
Hey bro, I thought this was a great video, thanks for the all the time, info and effort you put in to it ay. I’am not mechanically minded but want to be, and this gives me more confidence doing stuff by myself. Also realised I wasn’t subscribed, so sorted that pretty quick! Keep up the awesome build mate
Mate that is so awesome to hear! Just make sure you set yourself aside enough time to not be rushed. Working on cars = doubling the estimated time you think it will take 😀 and also thanks for subscribing 🤙
Great video I really like the amount of information you gave us for our own projects. Diesel Tuning Brisbane I believe has a np300 high flow dpf in the works, not sure if it's for sale yet, but I saw a video of it back in April so it may be available now. Might be worth your while if you want to get woosh woosh noises. Also a legendex exhaust is what I'm hoping to buy would be great to see a in depth install and review of it. Lastly in regards to breathers (if you haven't already done them) Harrop do a pretty neat kit, their's has the added bonus of being able to breathe through your airbox instead of your engine bay so only cooler and cleaner air will get into the diffs, etc.
Awesome video content, very nicely done ✅ attention to detail appreciated, we enjoyed watching the installation of suspension components Thumbs up to the good looking dog at the beginning of the intro, maybe we can see more of and know his or her name soon, great work 10/10 👍
hey man, sick vid. I've got the 3n2 comp shock lift too and it is the best thing I've bought for my car. next video should definitely be a dpf delete turbo exhaust because thats my next mod and I need you to show me how to haha
I think i am going to do a custom made system Matt. But i reckon that will still show people how to install an off the shelf product onto their car and also remove the original 😀👍
Thanks for the video man, I'm about to put a lift kit in mine and this helps alot. Question though, is it okay to install the aftermarket upper control arms if you're only lifting with a 2inch kit?
t'was a great upgrade and very informative to details for self DIYer like me. Just an honest query though, how come you did not change the Panhard bar at the rear-end? does it have no bearing on the wheel alignment? thanks and more video pls.
I was going to address the panhard bar in the video but ran out of time. I will run through this in another video soon, however when i did the 2" lift the diffs tracking did not seem to be compromised to a point that i felt it had to be done. I have always used an adjustable panhard when lifted a vehicle but normally i lift patrols and i have gone 3" plus lift kits.
JP Captured risk vs reward with the DPF deleted it’s a big risk if you get caught and I don’t think the reward is worth it. But a side exit with a deep note would be sick
Am new to the 4x4 scene. You have very interesting videos. One question that I would love to have explained (and maybe some others who don’t know as well), what is a diff drop kit??. Cheers.
It's funny you say that, i just noticed that pedders do a rear disc conversion kit yesterday! Not sure about the front callipers though, i will look into how i could do that one yasemen 🤙
Hey mate if you are just putting in the lift without changing the UCA, is the steering arm bolt connected to the UCA the only bolt you need to remove ?
I like the look of the spc front upper control arms, but I want keep my np300 completely legal and are unsure about grinding the strut bucket. Do you need an engineer to approve that?
what size tire can i use with no lift. can i use 32inch? also will there be any change on the power of the motor. i have the nissan frontier np300 2019 looking to lift only 2 inches near future
Hi! Are you sure that you will have no issues with the CV joints? I mean with no diff drop. There are users who have broken the cvs with 3” lift without diff drop
Hey man, it definitely can't hurt to put a diff drop kit in and if you have the extra cash you may aswell do it. But as i mentioned in the video. I don't think the CV angles look to bad. So i am going to wait and see how the angles look when i go offroad.
I love your videos good information Im looking to mod my x250d so I'm getting ideas. But do you know if the bull bar is same as the x class because they use same chassis
Maybe you could consider a zero or neg ative offset wheels, that will move your tites a little bit outer from the fender, lifted vehicles should go for a wider stance, anyway great job mate!
i really want to but i live in a state where tyre poke is frowned upon. So in order to do a wider offset i would need to run flares and i can't find one i like.. And the factory pumped guards look so good 😭
Did you have to cut the cross member for the fuel tank to clear the drive shaft at full droop? I've been told I need to cut mine if I want to do a larger lift kit
Hey bro, i love your videos...question though, I have 2016 Np300 RX manual GB I'm looking into doing a heavy duty clutch set-up. Do you have any recommendations and 2ndly do you I'll looking to arrange a diesel remap tune, I'm in Sydney btw any advise?
Great vid bro, one question. I got the same strut spacers but the factory upper arm con assembly rubs hard on the bracket that holds the strut in, did you have to slap in an after market control arm?
Awesome video and rig, congrats! Will give it a shot on my truck soon...As to the break line plate that needed bending and the wheel speed sensor cable, was that necessary because of the brand you chose or the height you were looking for? Or does it needs to get done regardless of the lift kit?
Hey man I hope you see this, where did you get your rear sway bar extension brackets from? And what did you do with the front sway bar links? Thanks in advance man
JP Captured ahh ok makes sense you wouldn’t really need to extended the front ones ay? Thanks again for the info man and killer videos too I enjoy watching them ☺️
@@jpcaptured799 yea nice! my Old mans dream car. if love to buy one for him one day. I use my nav to tow my 77 Ra23 celica around has a 1jz. Nice videos mate keep it up.

100% bro one of the best how to videos out there.
This is what a video should be like and that’s why you’re the best to watch 👍👍
thank you, very clear and professional. especially for upper control arm in front
Great step by step to follow. Just installed a 3n2 in my nav only thing I wasn't expecting was absolutely every nut and bolt being tighter than a nuns @#$$. Absolutely ridiculous. Ended up snapping a socket and having to cut a nut to get the stock uca out 😤😤
They must have been insanely tight! F#*@n nissans 😂☠️
Man mine right now are insanely tight too. Air powered impact is getting me no where right now!
What a great explanation! I learned a lot from this channel!
Hey bro the info you put into this video was Killa keep it up man your one of the better ones on here
Glad you enjoyed it bro, and thanks!
I’ve always wanted to see it done! So with your exhaust like race cars do run it out through a body panel like just behind the rear wheel on the rear tub quarter would look trick as!
Message me on instagram @nathan_oakley33 and I’ll send you a pic if you don’t get what I mean
So much detailed and easy to understand info.
thanks, maybe time for the ram to get a suspension upgrade? 😀
JP Captured and another of other things too lol
Those UCA's look heaps easier to adjust than some that Ive seen
They are such a wicked product. It was my first time using them too.
Hey JP in regards to the exhaust just remove the big old hunk of junk DPF and or get a hollowed dpf so if you do get pulled over about the exhaust you shouldn’t get knocked off because it still looks like a dpf so the cops should let you go but it’s up to you bud
Love the vids mate been watching your vids for a while now and I’m enjoying them keep it up
Cheers Seb, I really need to do something with the exhaust.. it's on the hit list of upgrades that's for sure 😉
Just ordered my comps today thanks for the video mate can’t wait to install them
Hey man good video, I always like to see someone's install to see what unexpected challenges they encounter.

Great video heaps of info on this for newbies , I reckon do a 4” exhuast haven’t seen one on a np yet 🤘🏻
Cheers Dazza 👍
What would be the purpose of a 4inch? Would it even be worth doing anything bigger than 3 considering the size of the engine
Awesome! I loved the way you illistrate everything. Kudos Jr.

Cheers George. Sounds like our workshop doggo needs an introduction 👍
JP Captured I would strongly agree
Also is it ok if i just add a extended upper ball joint to the oem controle arm..im only doing 3 inch at the front.
Hey mate, did you have an issues with the strut space with the factory strut, did over extend or anything? Great videos mate!
greetings from Honduras what price the suspension kit for Nissan frontier np300 2017 looks excellent
Very informative for a DIY installation! Keep it up!
thanks mate, will do!
Great video, so easy to follow
thanks mate! glad you think so.
Pretty keen to have a watch this arvy!!!!

awsome video. I am planning get a navara now.
Do itttt
Did you need to cut inner guards etc to fit those tyres? Great info btw, thanks a lot.
I think i'm convinced...nice vid.
Loving the videos mate! keep them coming, giving me a lot of inspiration to modify my STX. Cheers
i have a long list of mods still to come 😀👍
This is a great video mate good stuff! 👍🏽
3” Mandrel Bend Exhaust!.
Can you do an install of the new kings aluminium roof racks? 🙂
Have to fix the rails onto the roof of the models without roof rails.
i was actually thinking about running the new rhino rack backbone system :-)
Awesome 240Z mate! doing any videos on that?

I reckon a custom exhaust the dumps just in front of the rear tire.👌🏼👌🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼
Joshua Downs I second that
yeh i wanna do that to my nav so if you do it it would be helpfull jp. love the vid mate
Boys, I'm liking this idea 🤙to keep the dpf or delete it 🤔

new video coming out soon explaining this one Ray ✌️
What the lift kit heights, are Legal in SA.
What happens if u dont replace/extend the stabilizer links?
Very well explained... Good Job
My upper control arms won’t come out with the one bolt on the bottom with the pin. They’re upgraded ones put on by previous owner not sure what to do
Great finger technique 😂
haha
How about a brake upgrade like 6 spot up front and rear disc conversion ?????
It's funny you say that, i just noticed that pedders do a rear disc conversion kit yesterday! Not sure about the front callipers though, i will look into how i could do that one yasemen 🤙
your cvs will be fine if u put a front locker in though id consider a diff drop
Yes i am considering one still, i am currently undecided.
Hey mate if you are just putting in the lift without changing the UCA, is the steering arm bolt connected to the UCA the only bolt you need to remove ?
M8 you need to do a custom pipe with side exit through the tub haha.
i am liking the side exit idea 🙌😜
Be a little different from the norm...
Yewww great informative DIY bro! 👌🏾
cheers Mate 😀
Great video. Alot of usefull information. Thanks
Did you upgrade the front stabilizer link?
i didn't upgrade the stabilizer link.
Will you look to change radius arms eventually? Rate the remote res mount too!
i will change the lower and upper control arms soon for sure Harry 👌
Hey mate. How did it go before with just the strut spacers ? Any issues?
And did that fit the 295s?
no issues at all, and yes they fit with the 295's 😁✌️
Is this the 3k or 2k one? Because I’m trying to find a 2-3inch lift
Did u end up putting in a diff drop mate?
I like the look of the spc front upper control arms, but I want keep my np300 completely legal and are unsure about grinding the strut bucket. Do you need an engineer to approve that?

Hi Mate, i have got the info on this and unfortunately it will not fit sorry to say 😓
@@jpcaptured799 thanks so much 😊 for your time ⌚. I have been looking for one. Hopefully someone makes it
What is the maximum size of tires with 18 rim without changing suspension or kit to lift it?
Maybe you could consider a zero or neg ative offset wheels, that will move your tites a little bit outer from the fender, lifted vehicles should go for a wider stance, anyway great job mate!
i really want to but i live in a state where tyre poke is frowned upon. So in order to do a wider offset i would need to run flares and i can't find one i like.. And the factory pumped guards look so good 😭
Nicely done mate, was a pleasure to watch, just a quick question, what size tyres are you running?
stoked to hear it mate, i am running 295/75r17 maxxis razrs
JP Captured nice I’m in the process of getting the maxis razrs for my hilux got a 2inch lift thinking of going for the 295s aswell.
Did you have to cut the cross member for the fuel tank to clear the drive shaft at full droop? I've been told I need to cut mine if I want to do a larger lift kit
Did you perform body lift?
How much the cost for the lift kit only, this is fit for nissan navara vl 2019? Nice vedio i watch it till the end.
Excellent
Do you recommend adjustable upper control arms on a 2 inch lift?
yes i do
Sir what is the length of suspension needed for 2 inch lift of np300
Put the ls on the engine stand in the nav.
If the engine ever let's go it will be in there 😉

Not at all, i did not experience this issue.
looked on the website cant find the remote reservoir for the np300

the lubricating the bushings got me hahahaha
Hahahaha 🤣 ✌️
What size is the split pin but, my split pin nut had been destroyed
Which is the page or place were I can buy this adaption for my np300? And which brand is it?
You can get in touch with Daniel at comp shocks for help with parts
Which is The ring and tire number used? Is the originals?
Hey man I hope you see this, where did you get your rear sway bar extension brackets from? And what did you do with the front sway bar links? Thanks in advance man
Hey mate 👋 the front sway bar linkage s are standard and the rears were supplied by comp shocks, although they do sell heim joint linkages as well.
JP Captured ahh ok makes sense you wouldn’t really need to extended the front ones ay? Thanks again for the info man and killer videos too I enjoy watching them ☺️
Can I get your hand with my Np300 I'm in Victoria building a off road rig
Do you have to remove the upper control arm completely if you just wanna remove the strut
in most cases yes.
I had a similar 3" lift kit with coilovers on my D40 and my cv boots would get torn frequently. :(
What tire size are you running?
that's because D40's are the navara model even Nissan want to forget ;-)
Hey what size and offset of rims do you run
Hey mate those remote res shocks where they for a np300 or from another vehicle that suit a np? Can’t seem to find them on dans website
You may need to call Dan to get them mate. I think he is in the process of getting them on his website. Just say you want the same ones as mine 🤙

What size wheels do you have on?
First 👌
yewww 👍
20:40 is this legal to trim the strut tower??
