Are you fitting bigger tires, cus your not gonna gain much usefull clearance unless you up size your tires. You'd be better off buying rock sliders.

If your frontier is an 02 none of the PRG stuff will work on it,
it's all made for the new frontiers (05 and up).

the rancho kit is okay, but if you want a good lift kit for your frontier check out these guys; www.4x4parts.com
that's where i get almost all my frontier stuff from

and if you want 33's you'll have to do at least a 2" body lift as well

a lowered Astro has panache

An Astro/Safari is not a 'Mini-van'.
But I guess I'm correcting Zed, not you;)

Calmini does Frontier lifts. If you were doing the work yourself id say just re-index and crank the torsions, longer shackles in the rear and get it aligned.

If its horrible get a small body lift and do a little trimming, lift doesn't always = tire clearance anyway, depends on the shape of the wheel well. The clearance issues are usually at the firewall/ inner fender/front bumper anyway.

I wish I would have seen this before I spent $200 on my hitch…for $425 I could
have had a new bumper (which is rusty as hell from all the shuttles I've done).
And it has a integrated class 3 hitch.

I care about rub, tires ain't cheap.

A 3-4" lift for my '02 Frontier will handle 33" X (I think 10") without any issues, just
got to turn in the end stops a bit. With coil overs I should have very little negative
affect in my handling too. I've known a couple guys on Kauai that did 3 and 4" lifts.

After that, I think a cold air and catbac dual exhaust system is in order.

Not sure id add Coil overs to a Torsion sprung truck, some fancy shock absorbers would do the trick.

The gen 1 Frontiers have a bit of a lack of spring in the front, so it makes any shock
you put up there work that much harder. I haven't been going off road here too much
and the roads are pretty nice, but driving on the sand (at speed), on the mountain
and the crappy roads on Kauai took out quite a few shocks. At least that's what
I've read and from my experience with this truck over the last 8 years. But if I go
this route, I'm sure they'll be fancy coil overs. 8)

I'm one of those guys that needs to know how much "everything" is going to cost
and then I'll save it and do the deed.

If the Blazers are rated to tow 5500lbs…then yes, you could include them with the Astro and 1/2ton trucks.
