Nissan Frontier Replacement Shocks
All, I recently purchased a 2000 Nissan Frontier XE Crew Cab. The truck
came complete with a 3" lift (I think) and 32" ties. My questions is... what do I do if I ever need to replace my shocks when they go bad. The existing ones don't have a brand name and neither does any of the aftermarket parts that were replaced with the lift kit. The only clue to the manufacturer of the lift kit is a sticker on the tow hitch for "Fabtech". However, I went to their page and the "one" lift kit that they have for this type of truck looks nothing like mine. Would I be able to shop for the shocks by measuring the existing ones? Please advise. |

I would go to a local 4x4 shop and ask for shocks for your truck with a 3"
lift. You can buy any brand shocks so long as they fit. Failing the 4x4 shop, I would (when they go bad), pull one off, take it's measurements, and armed with that, you should be able to purchase new shocks. HTH.

Please > advise. Any decent local 4x4 shop should be able to tell you what kind of lift kit you've had installed, including whether or not it is a Fabtech, and may be able to ident the shocks as well. As for new shocks, all you really need to know is that you have a 3 inch lift, and then buy shocks for a 2000 Nissan Frontier with 3 inch lift. e.g. Edelbrock, Rancho, Old Man Emu, Doetsch, etc. |
