I got 'em. Great on road (when it's not bumpy), only wheeled with them once so I can't say much about that performance yet. I was only able to get 1.5" out of them, so I will be adding lift shackles in the near future.

 

Did you go from stock to these? and did you do anything to raise the front end of the xterra?

 

I have the full OME kit, ended up being 1.5" all around. Managed to retain factory rake.

 

I have the big brother of those, the OME HD version, which gives about 2.5" of lift in the back. I put Radflo coilovers on the front to level the truck. For me, they ride great with stock bumpers- it's stiffer than factory, but still comfortable and wheels great. The ones you posted should be less stiff and give about 1.5" of lift.

 

What is the best way to level this lift in the front?

would 2 in spacers work well, or would coil overs be a better option since I would be able to adjust them.

I want to make sure my x is level, or as close as possible.

 

Has anyone been getting a clunk/ rattle after the install with these when the rear is flexing?

 

Like Slasa's setup, mine clunks all the time too.

 

I've had OME leafs and bilstein 5125s in the rear for about a month now, they squeak like a banshee but no clunks or concerning noises yet. I haven't wheeled with them yet, but the on road ride is a huge improvement over stock. Also have heavy duty TJM coil overs in the front to support my shrock, which gave me a level stance. I'm totally satisfied

 

Fuji, I would recommend trying out the search function. There was a pretty lively thread going on about the clunking yesterday.

 

I just put in the OME leafs with Radflo 2.0 in the rear, with the TJM extended coilovers in the front. Have Hefty bumpers front & rear, winch in the front (no tire carrier on the back), full set of hefty skids underneath and sliders as well.

Utilized adjustable shackles in the back and with them set to 1", the truck now sits about 2.5" higher and near perfect level (very, very slight rake).

Super happy with the ride, haven't experienced excessive noise.

Long and short - LOVE the setup.

Would highly recommend adjustable shackles in the back rather than any kind of spacer...

 

I have OME HD all around. Stiff ride on road but not bad, great off road, squeeks went away after a few months, and it clunks like a mofo. Well, not bad but in certain situations. I think the clunks are just part of the deal. It doesn't hurt to re-torque everything to make sure.

 

It's interesting that some of these kits squeak and clank, and some don't. I installed mine last fall, it's quiet as a mouse. Greasable shackles in rear, the full LD setup from Cruiser Outfitters - ALL OME stuff, ubolts, shocks, shackles. Removed the rear sway bar. I bought mine after riding with jeff_redx last summer near Ouray, his has seen a lot more use than mine, still just as quiet. Torqued all bolts to FSM specs, continually checked the u-bolts for some time, they kept moving around and needed retightening a few times. I love it.

 

If you didn't remove your sway bar check that it's tight at the body. Mine was a little loose and after tighten them up clunks went away.

 

I took my rear sway bar off when I installed the lift. I'm using OEM shackles, I wonder if that has something to do with it?

Mine is fairly quiet for the most part, I just get an occasional single pop.
