oops. lol. i was referring to the ES3000's. and idk the answer to ur height question. some info from the 4wheel parts site: ...the Pro Comp ES1000. Designed as a replacement to factory... blah blah blah. basically just your standard stock. ...Designed to significantly improve both on and off road comfort and control, the Pro Comp ES3000... this seems like it would be your choice, based on the information you gave. and no, you don't need steering stabilizers. they're not completely necessary but they do improve the steering's handling off-road. and the Nissan Hardbody is nissan's pre-Frontier pickup truck. idk how else to describe it. lol. hopefully you know what truck i'm talking about...

dang, those pro-comps are way cheaper than the rancho rs5000's (price wise, that is) and they come w/ the steering stabilizer too. i would get them if they weren't blue and my truck wasn't red. hahaha.

http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b95/ch620/IMGP0378.jpg there's a link to the pic of my cup holder that i got a kragen. i didn't post it in here cuz it's too big and i don't wanna take the time to resize it. lol. but as far as functionality goes, it works for holding 2 medium-sized drinks. the big ones will just topple over due to top-heaviness, unless you hold on to the top of them. it fits snugly in between my chair and the center console. every once in a while i have to hold on to the tops of my drinks while i take corners too fast (which is all the time. i do it just to save gas)

hahaha, the other day i went into a tire shop to ask a guy how big of wheels i could fit on my pathy (after installing my 3" BL) and the guy was like "Oh, you can easily fit 33's on there. maybe even 35's." LOL! needless to say, that place won't be appreciating my business... they did have a buy 3 get 1 free tire sale though :[

it's all good, mang. and i have to agree with simon. some things are in the worst positions

id' say they're just taut in general. i don't mean to sound like an smarta$$, but the definition of taut is tense; not slack. therefore the lines don't have to be taut in any one place, just generally tense.

mine's the name of one of my favorite songs from my favorite band (The Black Dahlia Murder) they're a good melodic death metal band. If anyone's into that stuff, i suggest you check 'em out. plus i think it's funny

yeah, i saw that show. that stuff looks pretty crazy.

has anyone had any problems with their brake lines after installing a BL? i just installed mine today/yesterday and i noticed the lines were a bit taut. i imagine this would be worse if i had a suspension lift too. can you uncoil the lines a bit to make them longer?

how much did u spend on everything? (money and time) i'm too lazy to read all those pages of text. lol. the pictures were sick though!

lol, i just got my flowmaster 40 installed today. cat back too. but i want a louder, more obnoxious one! no joke. i'll see if the muffler shop i went to can cut me a deal on a new one

haha, aight. and along w/ the body lift, i'll get a new muffler and an intake system (if i can find one) while i'm at it

lol, i didn't even notice that sicks was supposed to be 6. and thx for the welcome. yeah, i figure i wanna go big w/ 33's especially since my friend has 33's on his yota and we can use each other's tires when we go wheelin if need be

body lift it is! thx again, guys. sorry if i agitated you by being a noob, Vsicks. thanks for everyone's advice though, i really appreciate it. i know there's some other forum where somebody says which lift to do first, but i couldn't find it. or i was too lazy to. idk. time to go buy a body lift! (within the next week or so)

oh, i plan to wheel and i also plan to get both types of lifts. but my problem is this: i'm not the most rich guy there is. lol. i only have a 1000 USD limit credit card (i'm only 18) so if i got the SL first, that'd take up like 800 USD and i'd be left w/ my stock 31x10.5 AT's. but if i got the BL first, i'd have the money to buy new rims and tires as well. speaking of which, how big of tires could i fit w/ just a 3" BL? 33x12.5's would be nice so i'd like to leave it up to you experts to decide for me. lol.

omg, i didn't even see the Body Lift link on the left hand side of AC's website. thanks for the help, guys! so new question now: which should i get first, a suspension or body lift? thx again

at least not for my '88. i don't know about other years, but there are no body lifts available (that i can find anyway) for my car ('88SE V6) with an automatic transmission. am i stuck with only the option of installing a suspension lift? the max lift i can get with those is 3-4", and i'm not getting the 4" because it's way more expensive. are there any places that can make custom body lifts?

yeah, my AC never worked when i got it. i didn't get it fixed till a year later, only cause people kept complaining that i didn't have AC (it's as hot as tits in my part of CA, btw) only my AC was never fixed. it cost $80 USD for the recharge, then another 260 for the test for leaks. at the end of the test, no leaks were found (the way they tested was to run a red dye throughout my AC system and check for any bleeding; no dye was found). however, about 2 weeks later, the AC didn't work again. so my guess is there's a reallllly slow leak somewhere. not that you need AC anyway. just roll down the windows

hah. idk how/when i broke mine. i don't even know if i even broke them myself. i've only had my pathy for a year and i haven't noticed til now

speaking of shaking... does anyone else's hood rattle around while driving? the sound is annoying. and has anyone else broken the bottom half of the bracket that holds the sway bar to the frame? that makes an annoying sound too

same

well i guess i won't get them. lol. i guess i'll buy the torsion bars off him. can anyone give a decent price for them (the used sway away tbars) in case i might have to haggle with the guy?

since this is a thread about not getting lift kits but instead getting all the parts separately, i thought i'd ask if this is a good deal or not: some guy wants to sell me a set of sway away torsion bars, balljoint spacers and rear springs for $300 USD. is this a good solution for a lift kit? and what's the point of getting BJ spacers? is it to eliminate the need for different UCA's? thx for your help. P.S. i'm new to npora/these forums/lift kits and this is my first post. i'm looking to lift my pathy in the near future. after reading the forums here, i feel i can make a good decision on what to buy. thx again.
