Hey guys I recently ordered a few suspension components after cancelling my PRG minilift. Im exploring some other options for a small lift
After some research I ended up deciding on the following:
FRONT
Bilstein 5100 adjustable front shocks (.5", 1 1/2", 3" lift adjustments)
Part number 24-197649...Listed now by Bilstein as a direct fit for Armadas
I ordered from Amazon.com and received 2 days later for $94.59 per shock with free shipping (best price I could find the first week of May 2013)
Total: $189 to my door
To match the springs I purchased 2008 Nissan Titan 4x4 coils from Rockauto.com based on some info from the titan guys. Basically these coils are a tad longer to compensate for the 4x4 extra weight the 08+ titans carry and when these same coils are placed on a 04-07 2wd titan...well you get a lift due to the lower weight of the truck's suspension vs a 4x4 (I also suspect the spring rate is different)...combining that with the Bilsteins on the 1.5" lift setting the ride is good and the lift is as much or more than the PRG minilift. Anyways, the case here will be to really find out on my Armada just like the titan guys did
REAR
For the rear coils I ordered Raybestos 589-1150 Professional Grade Coil Spring Set from Amazon as well. Two days to my door for $106.00 shipped to my door. They are listed as "Rear Coil Springs, 4WD, PROFESSIONAL GRADE - SE" BIG THANKS to theJrod for the research on that one. They are the 2207 pound load rating heavier springs
Im going to throw the above on and see where my Armada sits. I will add spacers IF needed to make her sit level :damn:
Where she sits now...stock suspension
