GOSH I hate seeking all those Titans just destroyed! The Titans really are honestly the best truck of its era in its class. I am glad you are using the titans parts it should really strengthen your truck!
So glad u are getting rid of RC kit! It looked nice if u parked it at a mall 24/7. My 22 is set for working hard daily and weekends to enjoy nature. Dobinsons 3" 275/70/17 looking to get All dogs parabolic springs. Good luck on the project can't wait to see what she looks like
I got the para springs from ado. Just fyi, unless you got about 250-400 lbs in the bed, they are a little too stiff for daily driver in my opinion. I haven't weighed anything on my 23' pro4x, but have a leer camper, little platform/drawer system, tools, camping supplies, hi lift, and 5 gal of fuel, and 5 gal of water. Now it rides pretty good, still a little stiff to be honest. I'm guessing about 250-300 lbs weight added to the bed. Oh, and springs squeek all the time. Have to lube the springs with wht spraylithium grease. Not sure if recommend them or ado for that matter. May just get an add a leaf later on to the factory leaf pack.
If you can put in lockers, you will not have to ‘send it’, and MT tires for better grip - you will reduce the shock loading and shearing spinning parts. RCVs would be a great option too. Notice the true off-roaders roll slow and intelligent over th)ngs and those that do not always have problems. Though if you are really going to Offroad Michu, it may be better to repair to stock, sell it, and get a Jeep which has way more mod options, are cheaper, and much more you can do. IFS is a dead horse to begin with.
The Nissan Frontier is just too stupid with its software based wheel braking -- and thats one of its main issues. People love the truck for its reliability and simplicity, but it lacks the intelligence that other trucks have.

I feel this. I’ve got a 2020 Ranger and I had to make the decision to go mild. I actually live an hour from pretty much all the North GA trails and my truck could get me in and out to pretty much all the camp sites. I just needed a bit of ground clearance up front. The factory rake plus the crappy FX4 shocks meant I nose dived easy on small drops. I did Bilstein 5100s at 2in up in the front and left the rear stock, and did 275/70r17s and it’s turned into the perfect vehicle for those forest service roads. If you’re in the area and want more people to wheel with I’ll join ya 😂
With the Radflo’s front coilovers if/when you get them, put I believe weld washers on their lower mounting point. ADO has a video addressing the Radflo “clunk” and a simple deterrent is apparently weld washers if I remember correct. I was between an extended travel kit with Radflo’s and a titan swap kit with Radflo’s from ADO but my ‘24 P4X has like 650 miles on it and I didnt want to gut everything to titan swap it because they’d surely void my warranty if a rear diff leak or something happened. So I went the extended travel route and am currently awaiting delivery. My Xterra is titan swapped though and dude-it’s a unit. Embarrassingly, it rides almost as good as a stock Frontier. Probably because bilstein 4600’s are cheap junk haha
Alldogs off-road has you covered. Tell Chad Nick sent you 🤙🏼 So stoked to see you move this way. You’re going to be so pumped and the truck will run so much better
No , you can buy a Dana 44 for 500 to 750 gear it and put a locker in for a couple grand and have it installed for another 2 or 3k so under 7500 all in . Much less if you do some of the work.
Hey bro, I live in the same city as you do! I own a 21 ZR2 so I’m subbing to your channel and hopefully will run into you someday. Oh we just got back from camping outside of Cleveland Georgia last week. Love north Georgia, will hopefully hit some off road trails up there someday. Keep up the great work!
Yoo! Head over to the FB group "4wd Adventure". A lot of local folks on there and we go right all the time. what color isyour ZR2? Is it desert tan or white?
You obviously know more about your truck than me but i would look into BDS Suspensions. I had one on my 21 Ranger than that thing was good. Everything was reinforced and it had a similar stance to yours only with 33s as well as a lifetime warranty. If you broke a part, just send them a pic and they send you a new part. Just a recommendation. Looking forward to seeing what you do with this.
Nothing is cheap and or bullet proof. Trying to get and IFS to not break CVs is always fun. TBH I gave up. I just carrier a spare and do the lifetime warranty axle game. Get one from O, one from A and a third from AZ you know the drill. So you have 5 to 600 hundred in replacement spare axles and you rotate though with the warranty so you don't bring a broken axle into Oriellys or etc every other weekend, they get cranky. I got 3 to 4 stores of in my area alone and there are Napa and Carquest too if I need more. It's a nonsense game, but broken axles from the trail are a problem for the Monday morning commute. PS lockers and 35s made it worse, maybe less skinny pedal or less "send it mentality"
but I plan to do is upgrade the CVs to the RCV CV's and keep the two OEM's I just ordered as spares. also going to keep a spare alternator on the truck as well.
I see your going to a T-Swap for the 22 Frontier, but going to 4:10's is a No-Go..... I've been on this for the last year & even been in touch with All Dogs Off Road & the axle manufacture & the rear axle pinion bearings have changed from the Dana 60 version to a smaller version which the manufacture wont release. I too have the T-swap on mine & just regeared the front diff to 3:69, with an arb locker. works fine for me at the moment, but still want the 4:10's... I don't run 35's like you but my 33's work for me.... if you need an E-Locker, I have the TRE for the M205 Diff.... 🙂
That’s good to know. I’m actually going to do 3:69 initially just to get it back on the trail and get it back usable again. I haven’t fully decided really if I’m going to do a full Titan rear axle swap as well.🤔 thanks for the heads up on that 4:10, though. That sucks.
The track will be too wide for a lot of trails in north GA if doing Titan swap. I know a lot of people who did them liked it but ended up switching because of the wider track and it made it harder to do a lot of lesser known trails. All Dogs Offroad had a nice vid about it but they came to this conclusion in there wheeling area
If i ever manage to convince the wife to let me do an ultimate dana 44 swap in my JLU I'll give you my Dana 30 diff for super cheap. 🤣 Sorry your rig keeps breaking. Hope this helps. Excited to see the new build.
@@4wdAdventurz if it works, it works. I think the biggest issue would be finding an adapter to go from the driveshaft to the differential. Lots of the axles you see on people running 1 ton setups on big jeep builds are from early 2000s Ford Super Duties.
@@4wdAdventurz don't blame them. Legendary durability. I've only got a Dana 30 anyway so if you're gonna do a solid axle swap, don't get a small one. Like my wife is always telling me, girth matters.
Hey man sorry if this question is outdated. I just bought a frontier 2022 S. I bought to help with the off roading just to get to trail heads and camp site. I has a Sentra so you could imagine. I don't go off roading like you and this will be my daily driver. however my hobby is going camping and hiking maybe car camping now. I live in North Carolina and to get the trail heads most of the road of gravel pretty rough. do you think the 2.5 rough country lift will be ok? or will light off roading damage ? please let me know man I seen all your vids and subscribed,.
Yes! A 2.5" lift will be plenty for your needs. I ran that lift for about 6months. 2.5" lift with some good tires will get you far. Thanks for watching and subscribing!
Nice! About time you remove that garbage lift. It's not about overall lift/height. It's about travel/articulation and ride quality. Not how high you can make the truck.
But in Florida, articulation and travel mean nothing. There is nothing to articulate over. Lol It is flat as a pancake. There is however deep water and deep mud. That’s where the rough country can’t really is the best option. If youre not looking to have any suspension travel and just need to get higher off the ground, that is the best kid on the market. but if you ever want to go anywhere else there isn’t really a worst option than the rough country kit lol. That’s why this switch will be better in the long run.
Main benefit of a titan swap is the long travel of the suspension. You technically lose an inch or two but not really. The front bracket the holds the front differential is sitting only 12” off the ground. So although the truck will be lower, I’ll be gaining about 3-4 inches of actual ground clearance.
Hope all the coming changes work out better for your needs. Question, who is "we"? You keep saying, "we wanted to do this, we didn't like that, we decided this didn't work etc." Who is this "we"?
@@4wdAdventurz No worries. I was just curious. I couldn't handle many of your mods myself. Nor do I have friends who know enough to help either. I'd definitely have to hire someone.

Huge win 👍 once you make an update you’ll want to make many more 😉
So I assume you are going minimal lift, with the largest tire you can fit and the minimum wheel offset to run that tire?
Shooting for 4.5 lift and will probably do a 2” body lift. Wheels and tires are going to be the same. Thats the plan anyway..
The CVs are best to rebuild the oem ones from what I’ve gathered
No , you can buy a Dana 44 for 500 to 750 gear it and put a locker in for a couple grand and have it installed for another 2 or 3k so under 7500 all in . Much less if you do some of the work.
