I see you both have ORs. Just so you know, the OR already comes lifted (not only from the bigger tires, but also SL). I don't remember how much, I think it's about an inch. So you won't get the 2.5" of lift from the AC coils compared to your stock height.
Want to get lifted need pointers...
Hey everybody. I got my Shrockworks bumper and slider on my '05 OR now I want the lift before I get new tires. I was thinking of REAR LIFT SHACKLES, LONGER BRAKE LINES AND FRONT SPRINGS from AC. The OR has Bilstien shocks as you all know. Now the questions: Anyone know what Bilstien shocks come with the OR/are they the same that AC sells in its '05-'06 Xterra suspension packages? If I need to change the shocks what size would you all recommend (12"-14"-17")? Do I need to get the two degree shims, if so where do they go? What would be better shackles or add a leaf, or can you do both? I was wanting to go to 285/75 16 tires but I read some people have problems with that size on the stock rim should I get them? If so, I have no problem staying with the 265/75 16 size. Also, is there a body lift? Would it be worth it? Yes when I shoot out questions I use my big guns lol. As you can see I'm not going too high and staying within a tight budget. As I figure around $300 for the basic parts I listed if I can use my shocks. I appreciate any help I can get on this or if anyone has a better set up let me know. THANKS!!!

When I got my X, I measured it against a stock one and the difference was more than one inch. Don't remember how much though. The tires will only give you 0.5" of lift. After lifting mine, I tried to verify this and went to the dealer to remeasure, but they had no ORs (mine is no longer stock). Mine OR was a special order and they told me it was the only OR they have had, so I have not been able to check this. If anyone has a dealer where they stock ORs and could check this would be great!kokopop said:There is no SL that comes with the stock OR. Just bigger tires and the bilstiens front and rear. The rear shackles and the front coils are the same. Lift in the front comes from stiffer coils.Rastaman said:Are you sure about this? It sure seems like it, but the stupid guy in the stupid dealer told me the suspension was EXACTLY the same in the S and the OR execpt for the shocks. Mmm...Offroad said:I see you both have ORs.
