Just an update
Went to the tyre joint they lowered my front torsion, now my truck is sitting hotrod which is ugly and my front tyres are rubbing.
If I get a calmini uca will that increase height on front of car so I don't rub and doesn't look hotrod
Thanks guys

You will be able to have it at the same height as that clown wound it up to but with the extra travel you need. Have a look at the Snake Racing extra flex 3inch lift they use the exact Calmini uca's and extended shackles.
If you order direct it will be about $720 allowing for American to Aussie dollars and shipping.

You could also pay the extra $100 and get them from superior engineering, they are $820 for a pair. Or 4x4parts.com sell a set for $443 a set + postage https://www.4x4parts.com/nissan/frontier-front-suspension-lift-p-87.html?currency=AUD

called snake racing
they call it a 3" add on kit
cost is $925 + $40 postage
kit includes
New Upper Control Arms
Idler Arm Brace
Front Braided Brake Lines
I dont want to spend a extra $900 when i just spent $1300 on the lift kit and it should have been done right in the first place

front of car has been dropped now
it lowered the back down 10mm atleast but still a 40mm difference.
what they have suggested which i dont know about is 3 options
1 remove a leaf to make rear lower and softer
2 add plates the lower rear
3 add a 35/40mm spacer to front
4 spend big bucks and get the snake racing kit
what do you guys suggest
FRONT
REAR

PM sent fella your getting very confused.
If you are running bigger tyres you need a body lift straight up. A suspension lift alone will never stop the scrubbing due to it having to travel at some stage. The UCA's are going to level you out as you can get the lift back to where you had it with the distance you need to the bump stops. Extended brake line in the front are a waste of time in my opinion as the suspension can only travel the same distance lifted or not. The UCA's don't give enough extra travel to warrant them. Braided lines I do recommend as it increases braking performance. I am running extended but the standard line were not a problem. So what I would do.
1: Buy UCA's and idler arm brace from the states.
2: Fit a body lift 2" from Zordos
3: wind the front back up to 10mm lower than the rear.
Bobs your aunty you'll be on your way until you SAS it.
