Just in time, ordered my kit from you guys last week!
very good informative videos, keep up the good work guys
I was reading comments and heard ole Cleetus, scared me.
That dang button with a Busch, perfect.
Hell yeah brother!
He'll yah brother. Loved it.
I'm going to take 2 weeks off and drive out to you guys and get a t swap and body lift done!
Im planning to do the body lift, but not yet confirmed 1 inch of 2 inch. The steering linkage no need to modify is it? How about 2 inch lift? Hope I can get your response... thank you
Was your frontier stock suspension or already with a lift?
What biggest and widest Tyers we can go on 1inch body lift?
Thanks
Did you have to do anything with the gear shift cable when lifting the cab? What about if it was a 2 inch
When are the ADO upper control arms coming out?????
I noticed you put some kind of bolt in the square spacer. Does that come with the kit or did you add that to hold it into place? What style bolt and size did you use for that?
those bolts came in the kit
What tires? Please see great!
would this be similar to the xterra?
It’s like you know I was looking at this today for my X. Would love a diy on that as I know you have to mess with the PS res bracket and the rear bumper.
The instructions that come with the kit will walk you through the components that need removed and/or moved & modified. Mikellis sells a separate add on for the 1” bumper lift.
@@daywalker4029 do you have the directions because Mike Ellis does not have instructions.
What lift and tires?
I have a 2011 crewcab with the short bed. The bed cross member has cracked at the front mounting location on the passenger side. Any advice before installing this kit?
shoot us a message on social media with a picture of what is cracked and we can go from there if it helps!
Great job! I read where you commented that the wheels are Cosmis Racing MR II…wheel and tire specs? Pretty please?
I second this comment
which elevator compromises the car's stability the most? the body lift kit or suspension (Bear with me I have limited knowledge on suspension)
Any lift raises the center of gravity
Have you noticed any more noise inside the cab since you installed the body lift? Looks very clean, nice setup.
They were a bit squeaky right away but they don’t make noise now
Does the second gen body lift fit the D40.5 20-21? I've seen a few sites list this as 05-21 and others as 05-19.
it does not. Mikellis has a different kit for those trucks
I just ardered a 1 inch body lift kit from makellis, it's going on my 2019 sv 4x4 crew cab... I want to do it, but I'm confused about the brake line being the drivers front wheel... You mentioned it but I never heard any more about it... Also what about the front skid plate? Do I remove it and drill new holes? I'm capable, I just need detailed info... Thanks...
your brake lines will be fine with the 1" kit. if you're concerned about them though, you can unbolt them and make a small bracket. also, the factory skid plate will still bolt up in the factory location as the body lift doesn't affect the front impact bar.
Quick question: how long does this entire job usually take? We tried to tackle this today and I am at a loss as to how to handle the brake lines that are connected to both the body and the frame up front as well as how to handle the fuel fill hose and the gas lines that are connected to both the body and the frame in the rear. The steering linkage is a right pain in the butt and the air intake on top of the engine is as well. How do you handle the radiator hoses? I feel like there are dozens of areas that were left out of this video. Was this merely an instructional on how to install the body mounts themselves, because it seems like most of the work involves the other areas I mentioned above. Please let me know. Thank you.
what size lift are you trying to put in? if it's a 1" you do not need to mess with anything. simply raise the body and install the body lift. i did remove my intake tube before install though. the Mikellis kit comes with step by step instructions if you do decide on a 2" and it is more involved. i have had zero issues with the truck since installed this 1" kit.
@@daywalker4029 I am having trouble believing that stretching the rigid front brake lines by one inch would cause no issues. Or stretching the upper and lower rigid radiator hoses. Or stretching the fuel fill tube and fuel lines. From what I found after taking the truck apart, it would be a nightmare to separate the body from the frame, even by a small amount. It's not that I don't believe it can be done, I think it's more of a tolerance thing with my personality, perhaps. I'd be curious to see some before and after shots of the most critical areas I'm referring to, just out of curiosity. I like the idea of a body lift, but to me, it would take far too much time and expense to do it correctly. To properly extend each of the areas I mentioned above.
@@JayGaulard Im also very curious about these specific details.
@@JayGaulard Would you post the answers to your concerns? You posted this over a year ago. Im following in your footsteps and want to know how it worked out for you. Thanks
@@moonblaster9483 Hi there - we determined that lifting the truck in this fashion wouldn't be in the best interest or either the truck or our sanity. We never attempted the project.
Awwwwe, Busch Light???? You youngens! LOL! Nice vid. I had heard there was no need to loosen the steering column for 2" and under?
Ha we like all types of beer in this shop! Plus we have some light beers left over after our customer meet and greet a couple weeks ago.
will this fut an xterra??
So with a 1" spacer lift just losen the steering shaft bolt? Don't pull brake lines or anything?
correct
Tyre size ?
Suggestion..... you better change out those longer bolts for stainless steel. You will regret not doing that.
The ones that come with the lift kit will rust bad. !!!!!!
i want this kit
How can the rear bumper be lifted up as well with the 2 inch body lift?
you would have to fab custom brackets to make the bumper line up like factory.
I want to get this, I just get nervous with what people say about body lifts with kits. This doesn't compromise suspension in any way? (Bear with me I have limited knowledge on suspension)
The only thing it may cause is a bit more body roll since you’re raising the center of gravity up an inch or 2. It won’t compromise suspension in any way as long as you loosen that steering shaft piece.
@@daywalker4029 Oh, thats not too bad. Some people told me it would mess up turning etc; I'm strongly considering getting this :)
@@carlosmakesmovies yeah the steering issue that they’re talking about is if you don’t adjust the steering link while you lift it. It will cause steering bind if you don’t loosen it.
I'm counting on you guys to show me the '22 Frontier with a Titan swapped suspension!
watch our social media!
Did this truck already have a suspension lift on it? like the RCkilla or any other..
it had a radflo extended travel lift on it before the body lift. truck is currently titan swapped though
Do you have a part number for a two inch body lift for a 2020 nissan frontier so crew cab?
all kits are on our website
lets say i get a Alldogs Offroad Complete Lift Kit w/ Bilstein 5100's for 2nd Gen Nissan Frontier: if the bilsteins are set @ 2inches and I add a 2 in body lift, how would this look/ride? I want to run 33s on them. im trying to shoot for a 4 in lift look as well
it would look similar to mine after the body lift is installed. my truck is right around 4" total lift. still have to trim the wheel liners and possibly fenders to make everything fit.
@@daywalker4029 awesome thanks mate!
What rims are those? They look really great on your truck.
Cosmis Racing MR II
@@daywalker4029what are the specs if you would be so kind. As you know Frontiers are hard to get wheels for and these are awesome none in my area have these and I like to be different
@@drousseau5908 they're 17x8 with a +15 offset
I ran I to a little issue, the last two rear square pucks slide right in and out after bed has been torqued down. Any idea why? I can add a few washers but if there’s a right way to do it then I’ll do that
Strange, I’m interested in doing this lift on my frontier. Figure anything out?
Usually self tapping screws are used to retain the bed blocks. You can also tack weld if preferred.
Would yall recommend a 2inch body lift
Is that afe intake worth it without a tune? Did it help mpg?
It’s basically a noise maker. It supposedly gets you some hp and tq. It didn’t do anything for mpg’s though.
@@daywalker4029 ah ok, I'll probably stick to my stock airbox, it'll probably take forever to gain back the mpg saving if any compared the the price of the intake
@@SamuelRodriguez-mo4ru probably the best move unless you want some more noise out of your vehicle
Is the procedure similar to the 3rd gen?
we haven't put one on a 3rd gen but it should be super similar since the mounting points are all the same.
Y’all should do a vk swap
What suspension lift do you have or any, looks like might be some Radflo? Is this to give more room for 33 or 35? Thanks love the videos🙏🤟🏻
Radflo extended travel.
How much would a shop charge for this lift? ( labor charge)
All shops charge different labor charges so it's hard to say.
Why isn’t anybody doing a 3” body lift?
Some shots of disconnecting the steering please.
If you pause the video around 4:38, look above the rear mount point for the upper control arm. It’s a 14mm pinch nut that secures both linkages together. Simply break that but loose and it will adjust itself as you lift the body.
So bumper brackets needed?
for steel front bumpers yes. Mikellis does not offer a rear bumper lift.
How much is the kit and were did you buy them are they on eBay ?
Are those 17 x 8 or 17 x 9?
17x8
what size tires do you have on?
285/70r17
@@AlldogsOffroadCoop 17 x 8 or 17 x 9 rims ?
What size tires are on it?
285/70/17
Can this be added to a rc 2.5 lift?
im curious as well
Why a body lift?
what sliders do you have?
Sliders are a weld together kit from a guy named Jace Doan. He is on all the FB Frontier groups. Also @final_frontier2012 on IG
@@daywalker4029 thank you
@@mattrage1673 no problem! Excellent kit and very good price as long as you have access to a welder or know someone who can weld them up for you
Are they straight out or at a angle?
@@Slvdr_pz angled
wher you buy the parts let me know and thanks
www.alldogsoffroad.com
Now see if you can tuck 37s in
Body lifting aside, please oh please wheel specs.....
wheel and Tyre choice are perfect,
great video by the way.
I don't understand having a body lift and you can just gonwith leveling kit
leveling kits are generally frowned upon in the nissan world unless you buy aftermarket upper control arms also. at the time of install, my truck was on a Radflo extended travel setup. it was done to clear bigger tires. my truck is performance oriented, not just for looks like a leveling kit gets you.
I heard body lift is that that great or safe....just rumors
@@4bvenom733 as long as they don’t get absurd then they’re fine. I personally wouldn’t go over 1”, which is what we installed here.
Where can I buy it?
the body lift? it's for sale on our site
Never, ever, ever do a body lift!!!! Jesus!!!!
