Well, I finally got around to it! I installed my version of a rear add-a-leaf. It is the second leaf off of a Titan spring pack with a slight modification for fit. I achieved an inch and three quarters (1 3/4) of lift without losing my ride comfort. No drive train vibration.

More info on this would be nice. Where did you get the springs? Junkyard? How much? What did you slightly modify?

Nissan has a habit sometimes when they address warranty items to replace complete items when they realy don't need to.I had a 08 4x4 titan that had a lean in the rear since just about purchase.When I took it back for this issue they just swapped out the set.I had the opportunity to get the old set which is where I got the donor springs used for the aal.Over time I used most of the leafs on other projects.So after taking the xterra pack apart I measured the second largest leaf and compared it to the titan leaf and decided to cut to length the titan leaf to fit it to the x pack.I used a hand held grinder with a cutoff wheel to shorten the titan leaf then ground down the edges to smooth them out.I chose this method because I found that in the past when I did a AAl I got better lift by spreading the load further out by using a longer spring.The lift lasted longer and the ride didn't suffer from the extra spring.The titan springs could be gotten anywhere but don't use rusted ones.Most junk yards that do have these springs should only charge a buck fifty for them.Then theres the pick and pulls, you might get them cheaper?
