See this is what happens when you have a damper long enough. Your whole body withers away and you're left looking like this. :oops: Sorry Gregg! ?

Putting weight watchers out of business one damper at a time. :wink:

Not that I intend to lift mine, but I'm surprised by the lack of 3rd gen frontier lifts.

You can't just level the front, seemingly the lowest front lift will cause the front to sit higher therefore you're forced to lift the rear. Kinda lame.

Both these trucks can look pretty mean with the right lift and tire combo. Such as what @Colo_Ranger has going on.

Have you checked out AllDogs Off-road Frontier Lifts?

Installed a GoFast VTA Blow Off Valve I got from another member. Haven't done any other engine mod's but the price was too good to pass up.
If you look verrrrrry closely you can just see the additional HP just oozing from the installed mod !!!
Strange thing tho, it seems to work. I have always experienced a bit of "lag" when making a sharp right turn....just a momentary power drop.... from a stopped position....like slowly turning from a stop sign or red light while applying gas. Once thru turn Truck always came right back.
Now, while making the same turn, no lag....power stright thru the turn....
Yea !!!
(Also makes a neat "woooooshing" sound)

This is a turn of events, now someone on here is helping me spend MY money. It wasn't supposed to be like that.

I'm not one to go for "gadgets n stuff", but I read the info on their web site....and the price was way to good to pass up. Don't think I would have gone for it at retail cost.....but that's just me.
Haven't taken Truck out for a good acceleration run like an interstate on ramp so don't know if/what effect it will have.....may help with acceleration when towing our camper.
But it did get rid of the momentary lag in the middle of a tight right turn from a stopped position.
