I wanted to know of a good company(s) that sells body and/or suspension lift kits for a 94 nissan pickup xe.

I would think Calmini will have something. I have their 3" Suspension lift and Heavy Duty Steering and I love them. Top notch stiff.

The Trail Master lift *might* work but I'd give them a call.

Performance Accessories makes a 3" body lift for your truck.

What do you want to get out of the lift? Are you trying to fit bigger tires? Are you going to off-road?:help

Stormy, Nice truck man! What kind of lift do you have on that thing? I have a 2000 Xterra and I don't want anything that extreme, but maybe 31's or 32's for crusing around in. They look really sweet though with nice meats and lifts done.

Thanks! The truck has a 3" Calmini suspension lift and a 3" Performance Accessories body lift running on 35x12.50 Swampers tires.

If your looking to fit 31's or 32's, you won't need a lift at all. You'll just need to trim the mud flaps in the front.

Something like this...

If you wanted a little more lift, you could do 1 of 2 things. PA makes a 2" body lift the is around $100 and it's far less effort than the 3" kit. The 3" kit there is a lot of extra stuff to do like extend the fuel filler tube, drop the radiator, extend the shifters (transmission and t-case sifter) by cutting and welding a 3" steel spacer, etc. The 2" kit, you don't have to do any of those things.

The other option is to use 2" shackles or 1.5" add a leafs and adjust the torsion bars to level the ride out.

AAL's for $149.95...



Shackles for $49.95...



Rancho makes a "short" AAL but I've seen them cause a leaf to snap.

Stormy, Thanks for all the info brother. I am not looking to do anything crazy in the mud and or rock climbing. i just wanted something to make the truck look better. I think that 31 X 10.50's would be plenty. This is the wife's truck, so just something to make me feel better when I drive it!!! But your truck really looks good. I checked out the pics that you had posted and that looks like an awesome place to go trail riding. I have a 1982 Bronco for that. All we have it here is Tucson desert, but it is a lot of fun after a little rain!!! Take care and thanks again for all the info, I'll have to look into all that.
