I need to replace my stock upper control arms and am looking at either the All Dogs Offroad ones or the NISMO ones.
I’ve seen lots of good reviews about the All Dogs ones, but nothing at all about the NISMO’s so far. They’re both about the same price and I’d expect the NISMO ones to be pretty good.

Havent tried them yet but they will be my next set. Really nice that they're forged aluminum so theyll never rust.

I have not, however my ADO set has been great

Curious, with as thick as it gets close to the balljoint...if it has CBC or not. They have an interesting relief in the right area...so they may have thought that through.

I was expecting 900 dollar control arms...but price is competive with SPC's. If I had it to do over again I'd do ADO(they weren't around when I bought my upper SPCs)....

I think they all do the same thing. I like ADO cuz they use 'any parts store' ball joints.

Note: May require minor trimming of front coil buckets if used on vehicles raised more than 3.0”

From the website. Looks like CBC is still a thing with these.

More than 3". Can't get 3" without Titan Swapping as far as I know. So they've done some work to them. Factory contro arms get CBC at more than 1 1/2" or so.

I also noticed it says they work for up to 6” of lift, Yeah right!.
But for me at 1.5” they might work great. Was hoping someone has tried them.

These control arms & several other new Nismo goodies for the X and Frontier are very new to market, so it's probably going to be hard to find much in the way of real-world feedback.

Why do you want a Nismo product vs a known product?

 

[Kedosp]

I’m more curious than anything since I didn’t see any reviews on the NISMO arms.
The fact that Nissan is investing in the Xterra at all definitely gets my hopes up for a reboot of the Xterra.

i really really hope they'll come with a titan version of it

why? At their price point there’s no benefit
