Im looking for a 2” lift (shocker ik) and i woukd typically
go with bilstein but based off how folks talk sbt the ride
of the 5100s on frontiers it seens like maybe there valved
weird on these trucks cause every other truck with 5100s
ive been in road great. If not 5100s what other struts sit

I personally don't think that it's a good idea to Modify the
Suspension, Engine, or Exhaust System. I Personally Think it's
Best To Keep The Truck OE Stock.   Long Term Durability,
Handleing, Resale Value and Money Wasted are my concerns.

However, if this is your intent, Then My Advice is to take it to
Your Nissan Service Dept. and Talk with the Service Manager.
Tell him what you want to do and get his advice. They may
advise you not to do it, or They may even do it for you, or They
may send you to someone that they Trust to do the work.

Pickup Truck's are designed for Transportation, Hauling &
Towing. Staying with what they were designed for is my
personal advice.

Now if it were a Jeep, then I would say "Have At It", They are
made to get Jacked Up & Modified To Climb Mountains & Go
just about anywhere Billy Goat's can Go.
