I know it’s been a year since this video was posted very helpful! Also wanted to say , to make it easier with install the best way to do it smoothly with the sway bar , is to disconnect it on the other side as well , then you can twist it down for easier removal of the bolt! great video though! I’m about to purchase this kit and install in my driveway 🤙🏻
Another good video Randy! Thank you for your personal touch. I appreciate your willingness to share your creativity. I also like that wind roof deflector. Did you do a vid or have info on tbat item as well?
Thank God I rechecked this video I was about to spend cash yet again on parts to compress the shock when I realized you took off the bolt from the top downside I goofed and now I can't remember where I left that bolt smh 😂
Nicely done. I have 2021 frontier pro4x... and i believe it has the same 1.5 inch rake from rear to front i want gone too. I was eyeballing this same spacer kit, and you just convinced me to install them myself and save $250 in labor from "my guy" 😅
Thanks! I guess you can see that I am somewhat of an amateur at this. I get a thought, grab my phone and go. So if I continue to do this, I will have to improve my skills.
I purchased it from Mr Hoodscoop with matching paint. Don’t seem to be able to ad video to replay. Give me a message address and I will send it to you.
Nice video...I just got one and may have to do this myself. Quick question. What kind of hood deflector/bug shield is that and where did you get it? Thanks.
Some have noted that they had an alignment, I did not find a need to do this. I have had no issues with handling or steering and it did not note in the installation instruction to have an alignment.
you won't have handling issues but you will eat up your tires faster because you've changed the suspension geometry you absolutely need an alignment if you do these kits. I know im late to the party but figured id chime in @@randyqueen7968
Have you had any problem with the shocks bottoming out? I thought about doing this to my frontier but I’ve heard that the shocks bottoms out. So I’ve decided to go with the Bilstien Shocks and spring assembly for the front as to not have that problem.
It is just the hood scoop. I got it from Mr Hood Scoop and it was pre-painted to match truck's color. The mounting hardware was from PonyParts, and the part number was HW4155
They are OEM from a 2022 ProX. Purchased thru Nissan. Front was 142.99 each, rear was 66.01 each. Price may vary depending on which dealer you purchase from.
@@randyqueen7968 because with issues with like a rough country 2.5 lift/ leveling kit the upper control arm will hit /make contact with the metal where the spacer goes when going over speed bumps. And my question is have you ever heard a clunking noise going over bumps since installing these 1.5 spacers?
Thanks for noticing that and pointing it out to me. However, all pins were re-installed before the wheels were put on. Just had not re-installed them at that point in the video.
All dogs offroad have 5100 kits and fox 2.0 IFP kits now, of which the later paired with good UCA's put your truck suspension wise on par with the TRD-Pros with eibach springs and add a leafs for much cheaper than a TRDPRO. 5100s aren't bad either but from what I've witness on several midsized trucks is they are closer to an onroad lift kit in dampening unlike the 6100 kits by bilstien. Very firm for good road feedback but don't take low speed compression (think long travel) very well. Just don't get things like rough country and other cheapo shocks, your truck comes with bilstien yellow 1.5s from the factory which are a decent standard dirt road shock, so those cheaper brands are a downgrade. Fox and King pretty much use the same valves for their 2.5 factory race series so if they aren't out already they probably will be soon.
Mrhoodscoop.com / CJponypartsarts.com. I got the hood scoop from Mr Hood Scoop, part no. HS009. $150 unpainted $339 painted. I got mine color-matched painted. It comes with double-back tape for mounting, although I would opp for stronger mounting tape than what comes with it, 3M tape 06387 is better. However, I wanted a cleaner fit so I used mounting screws from CJ Pony Parts, part no.HW4155. Lining up to drill the holes took a little work, but fits a lot tighter than just tape. So it is up to you if want to drill holes in the hood or not.
Why is everyone praising this video? Shot in portrait, really should be in landscape, wavering camera back and forth; and skips from one item to the next. Might be one of the worse I have seen.
Oh, I agree. Just an amateur video. If you’re looking for TH-cam flash, this is not the place. I was simply trying to share my experience at doing some upgrades on my Nissan Frontier. If it helps someone looking to upgrade theirs, then that is what I wanted to do. If it is more about the quality of the video, then I sure people can find better.
Good job,looks great. I’m planing on doing this soon.

Thanks for the advice. Hopefully I won’t have to try that any time soon.
Just did my proX, thx for a great install video. 👍🏻
Did you go to bigger ties?
No
So the PRO4X also has the same 1.5 inch factory rake, right? Eg) with the 1.5s up front you came level with no payload? Thx in advance.
Looks great!

I only added to the front to level the truck. Did not do anything to the rear.
Great job.

Quick question. What kind of hood deflector/bug shield is that and where did you get it? Thanks.
I got thru Nissan/ Z 1 off road
Hi Randy, thanks for the videos bud. Would you be able to tell what hood scoop you have installed in your truck?
I purchased it from Mr Hoodscoop
Installed this on my '22 Frontier Pro4X. No cam bolts were needed and alignment was completed.
Nice! Did you also add aftermarket upper control arms? Thanks the info
@@jlf3142 I did not as when I get around to doing a real suspension lift I will do it then.
was there any change in the alignment after installing the spacers?
With conjunction to the installation of this leveling kit. Would you need to get an alignment for your truck? Thanks
Some have noted that they had an alignment, I did not find a need to do this. I have had no issues with handling or steering and it did not note in the installation instruction to have an alignment.

Nice video and truck! I am installing that same kit on my 23.What did you torque the sway bar bolts to because it’s not in the instructions?
I do not know for sure, but I think I did 22lbs
@@randyqueen7968 Thank you sir!
Have you had any problem with the shocks bottoming out? I thought about doing this to my frontier but I’ve heard that the shocks bottoms out. So I’ve decided to go with the Bilstien Shocks and spring assembly for the front as to not have that problem.
Mine is a two wheel drive SV and I do not go off road . On road, I have not had any issues. I do not see why it would cause the shocks to bottom out.
@@randyqueen7968 hes talking about coil bucket contact, the upper control arms will hit if you just add spacers.
@@zbrembo may depend on size of spacer. I have a 1.5 on the front and none on the back I have not had any issues with it.
@@randyqueen7968 nice, I'd check the uca and coil bucket for missing paint to be sure. anything over 1inch can cause contact.
Where did you get the hood scoop? Is that a whole new hood or just the scoop?
It is just the hood scoop. I got it from Mr Hood Scoop and it was pre-painted to match truck's color. The mounting hardware was from PonyParts, and the part number was HW4155
How about those rims? My SV came with the silver ones. Do you have a part number? Thank you
The rims came with the SV when I bought it new. 17” Machined Alloy Wheels. An option for $950
@randyqueen7968 thank you appreciate it
Where did you get the fender flares from?
They are OEM from a 2022 ProX. Purchased thru Nissan. Front was 142.99 each, rear was 66.01 each. Price may vary depending on which dealer you purchase from.
Did this require a front end alignment after installation of the leveling kit?
No, the replacement is the same as replacing struts. It should not effect the alignment. I have noticed no steering or handling issues
You will need an alignment. I installed the spacers and got an alignment. I would get the adjustable cam bolts at the same time.
@@DreamerzCCtoyz I found no need for alignment. No issues of pulling, vibration, etc. Not sure how adding spacer would effect steering
@@randyqueen7968 well I thought the same and had my alignment checked at the dealer and I needed one. Ordered adjustable cam bolts as well.
Camber is off after lifting the front.@@randyqueen7968
Does the upper control arm contact the coil bucket at full droop??
I am not sure what you are asking, but I have had no issues.

@@johnboy8705 got you. No I have not had that with 1.5. Mine is also a 2W drive SV. So it make make a difference if you have a 4W drive or a proX.
@@randyqueen7968 Thanks for the reply. I'm gonna look into these I have a 4x4 s but don't think it should affect it either
Hope he put that cotter pin back in on drivers side
?
@@randyqueen7968 upper ball joint was shown with a missing cotter key at the ball joint nut.
Thanks for noticing that and pointing it out to me. However, all pins were re-installed before the wheels were put on. Just had not re-installed them at that point in the video.
Great video. Do you have a pro-4x? It’s been hard to find a lift kit or leveling kit for that model. Thanks!
Mine is an SV and used on road which is why I went with these lifters. Just wanted to level it out.
They are on my Pro4X
