PRG - a company who makes R51 stuff

[180sx]

So I asked PRG if they would ever consider making parts for our R50's. Here is the reply I got:

 

We have certainly considered the first gen Frontiers and early pathfinders, and will look into them more in a few months. We are finishing up some development of a bracket lift for the [third] gen stuff and after that will be focusing more on the early trucks. I am very sorry for the limited options you guys have... I am very aware of how serious you guys are about your trucks too. Give it a bit more time and Im sure you will have at least a few more options.

 

I put "third" in brackets becaus he kept calling the R51 a 'second' gen. Go figure...

 

Maybe they will seriously look into our rides...maybe. We should all email them everyday so they get the picture. They make that 2" spacer lift and SS braided brake lines for the R51. It's sad really, that the R51 has more support in the aftermarket then we do. I mean, Calmini makes a 5" lift for them! add a 3" body lift and you got at least 35" tires on this beast of an SUV. Come on! 8" on this and I can't even get 3"?

Easier to do a spacer lift on them because they're independent suspension all the way around...backs just need spacers like the fronts of ours do. A spring spacer for the back of ours are big and clunky and you may as well just buy bigger (& stiffer) springs.

 

Anyway you can't compare lifts for an R50 with an R51...they have this frame thingy that apparently allows for cheap and easy body lifts. We're limited by unibody and cv angles, so the height restriction has nothing to do with the manufacturers.

Actually, their rear spacer would be similar to ours if mounted on the bottom of the spring. And yes, they have independant all around, which means CV's all around. The only thing I wouold see easier is a body lift (which we don't have obviously haha). But for some reason the CV angles on the R51 is not as much a concern as ours is...why?
