Thanks for the input guys. It seems that the "Hi Rider" option by Nissan is a myth. Some people just talk out their backsides hey. I might just throw a 2" lift in and put some Hi Rider stickers on it. That will throw a curve ball. Just imagine, they will say, "Yes, I have seen one myself" if...

Yup, that is likely.

Love your work Tony!!

Hi All, I have asked manufacturers various questions about suspension parts for my Navara and I had the weirdest thing ever asked about my model Navara. This guy asked me if my 2017 model was a "Hi Rider" version? My question to the forum is - Has anybody owned or heard of a "Hi Rider" Nissan...

Hi BrentL, Planning to ask that question, will let you know how that goes when I do.

Well guys, I have now added the 50mm body lift. Just installed the blocks yesterday. Looks great and you can really feel the difference. Two things, the height of the car and the manual gearshift in mine is noticeably shorter but doesn't hit anywhere while changing gears. I will post a picture...

Hi Difflock, From what I have learnt recently, Bilsteins are one of the best to use if you have the coin to shell out, I used the Fulcrum Raw brand shockers all round with King springs. I would only replace the control arms if I was lifting it more than the 45mm in suspension and a serious...

Thanks Tappet, Very happy!! After finding out how much it costs to lift a Navara any higher than 45mm or so, I wont be going any higher with suspension. I am considering a 50mm cabin and tub lift. I am told its an easy and inexpensive thing to do and looks pretty good too. Any thoughts from...

Well, I have purchased the Raw 45mm lift kit and installed. Its a different car to drive now and handles a lot better.

I have tried to get two different sets of 2 inch lift kits from Fulcrum Suspension, Formula and Raw, they cannot supply as parts are not available due to.............. guess what............ you wont believe it.............COVID bloody 19. How does Covid - 19 affect 4WD suspension??? Looks...

Yeah, I always found a phone call is better. I did 15 years in the automotive trade between 1987 and 2002 and in that era the phone was the way. Unfortunately my knowledge from back then is irellevant. My time was more about cars as SUV's and 4WD's were not anywhere near as popular back then. It...

Well it appears that the guys from Fulcrum may be a little busy or have enough work. A few days now since I sent them an email but no answer. Might have to try another option.

Again , great info Tim and much appreciated. I have made contact with Fulcrum suspension and I am waiting on them to email back to me with the info for my Navara model. I looked on the website and it looks like the kit i will need is about the $1700 plus install. But I will wait for their...

Hi Tim, thanks for that info. Sounds awesome. I will check out this Fulcrum kit for my D23. How is the handeling on roads? I get a sort of unstable or stuttering and loose feeling on bends at 90-100 kmh when there are bumps on the road. Its actually quite off putting specially in wet weather. I...

I looked at a kit on the internet with Webco shocks that are described as Nitrogen gas shocks with 16mm piston rods,twin tube shock body, EFS leaf springs 2" lift and Front King springs 2" lift. Kit comes with new shackle bushes and U bolts for rear. Does anybody know about the quality of these...
