These guys have everything. Also, when I checked they said they keep it in stock too. (3 months ago)
They are a little more expensive, but what is is worth to you to have everything you need

Great write up on the install and good info on the hardware....thanks! I only want to do a 1in body lift but I am not fully competent in regard to what the listing for bolt sizes mean. I figure if above list is for a 2" lift and I only want a 1" lift, then I just need to get all the hardware 1" shorter. So what part of the bolt info references the length?
As an example with this one:
70333 12mm-1.25 10.9 HEX BOLT 2 $5.75 $11.50
LENGTH: 12mm-1.25 X 180 10.9 HEX CS
Would I need one 12mm-1.25 x 155 10.9 HEX CS?
Thanks for the help.

Now that you mention it, I'd like to know myself...
Have you ordered pucks yet?
I was about to offer the other half of mine..I have 2" pucks, but haven't cut them yet.
NMTerras did a one inch lift and I know he would have a list of the bolts he used.
I was about to offer the other half of mine..I have 2" pucks, but haven't cut them yet.
If there's a mod day soon where I could get help and advice from others with experience I think I would do this.
I posted one up
March 30th..
In the next 2-3 weeks.
I'll see if I can get them cut down soon. Today was my Monday, so I won't be off work again until next Wednesday. I'll see what I can do.
oh oh! question! im not sure if this was brought up in this thread or another so im sorry if im repeating this question. i know that if you wanna keep the drive shaft safty hoop you use the washers but what eles has to be relocated for the 2"BL? i know on the 3" you gotta drop down the radiator, but there anything else you have to be careful of, or is it just as simple as swaping out bolts and body pucks?
You will need to raise the front bumper..I used a 2" metal box in the front and the rear I cut the 3 prong bolt deal and drilled one hole.. It's hard to explain. Tuckeray be able to explains this better.

thanks Dave, but im also talking about things like the heater core hoses and making sure my 4wd shifter can shift into 4L all the way since it should be shorter after the lift.
...and Greg, id love to have you up here for a mod day. im just sticking with the 2"BL. but i am also gonna make my PML into a full 3" SL. as for witch one comes first, no idea haha.
I had the pucks for a 2" but sold them when I had trouble finding the bolts. STUBBORN AZZ ME is determined to stuff 35's in dem wheel wells and a 3" lift is required. I knew 95% of what needed to be done except the heater core hoses. That does put a crimp in things. Lemme know either way.

Or you could roll/trim your fenders.. That's what I might do.
ROADIE!!! this is me you talkin to... the one who doesn't want to drill a whole in the roof for wires... and you want me to "trim" (code word for CUT!!!) my fenders... uhhhh yeah...lol
Odd thing about this is, I've cut, drilled, bondoed and sanded some of my previously owned vehicles on a whim just to do something. Don't know what it is about this Xterra that's got me so wimpie. Maybe it's the fact I gotta do everything outdoors, always had a nice large warm and dry garage in the past. Guess I got spoiled.
ya know Greg...... i got my shop up in Central Lake County in my town we could use. all i have to do is ask my boss what weekend would be best and odds are it will be alright.
Jim, That sounds GREAT!!! now all I've gotta do is find a weekend to take off. My regular days off are Tue/Wed.
