McQueen Racing

My new 2007 Nissan Frontier (4×2 NISMO, auto, 45k miles), new tires (Yokohama Geolandar A/T’s), and a newly installed “leveling” lift kit.

Trucks are coming from the factory with a slight forward rake in ride height. I still have to find out the reason they do this, but I figure it doesn’t apply to amateur race car drivers. I wanted to level it out, and get a little more clearance for my tires while I’m at it. My friend Pat and I spent a few hours in his driveway yesterday installing a mini lift kit from PRG products, which raises the front by about 2″ and the rear by about 1″.

I like it! We’re thinking 3″ in the front would be closer to level, but it isn’t recommended to go that high with the stock upper control arms, and I think the stock length brake lines may end up uncomfortably close to stretching.

Thanks for the hospitality Pat and Melissa!
