Alldogs Offroad Complete Lift Kit w/ Bilstein 5100's for 2nd Gen Nissan Frontier

Everything is great besides the u bolts. Mine would not even go in with a vice grip. They are the wrong size for the stock u bolt brack. Other than that, it's a great suspension kit! Alldogsoffroad was very responsive with any questions I had. I still have not received the body lift with the kit (two weeks later). Definitely get the pre assembled struts, it saves a lot of hassle.

Truck: 2011 king cab pro-4x. Got add a leaf and medium front springs, stock front bumper. This is gonna be a long one... First off, the staff at ADO are TOP NOTCH! I asked them to delay shipment as I had a trip planned to Death Valley and it was no problem at all. Great communication. Helpful with my one bonehead installation question.

Unfortunately, I accidentally hit a jump in my truck on a well graded road shortly before receiving my suspension package in the mail. Couldn't see the jump due to the sun. Hit it at about 35 mph. Popped my driver's airbag, broke rear glass, tires tucked up into the body and bent some stuff, cracked exhaust manifold, smashed in swaybar mounts, broke headlight mounts on one side, etc. I drove it 100 miles home on the highway. Loud as heck but drove straight as an arrow. IInsurance would have totaled but I fixed absolutely everything for cheap. These trucks are literal tanks.

Thankfully I had ordered moog upper and lower control arms at the recommendation of ADO staff when I ordered the suspension kit. I didn't pop any ball joints, bend a tie rod, or bust a CV when I hit the jump but the ball joint boots were cracked. Highly recommend ordering new control arms from rock auto if you're installing this kit, might as well do it all at once and save time. They are also pretty cheap.

Suspension install was relatively easy. Had to torch and hammer some stuff up front due to my jump... but it wasn't hard at all. The rear shocks install with the boot side being the opposite of the stock shocks on my pro 4x. I called ADO and they graciously helped me out and didn't call me an idiot which I appreciated (i was an idiot). I got the add a leaf pack for the rear and did not reinstall the overload leaf. After settling I measured 2 inches of lift in the rear and 2.25 in the front on all corners. 1.5 inch rake. Alignment was perfect with the included LCA cam bolts.

I have driven it on and off road for the last month. On road handling is comfortable but tight. Handles really well around corners, no additional sway (still have the front sway bar attached). Handles better than stock. I live in Arizona and there are some deep (1.5 inch or so) potholes on many of the highways and the speed limit is 75. I used to clench real hard when I hit those, the rear end would jump all around and it was hairy. Now I can't even feel them. I can drive with so much more confidence vs stock suspension.

I haven't done any serious off roading yet, but i've driven some washboard fire roads with obstacles/holes/rocks/banked and crappy roads. It handles like a dream! This is how this truck should have come from the factory. I can't even feel washboard roads, before my fillings would rattle out. I have e load rated tires and used to always air down just to get down these washboards with some comfort. Washboards are now more comfortable than they were airing down with my stock suspension. My rear end would also kick out on washboards, now it stays dead straight even when I am going fast. Power to the wheels is also improved over my old saggy set up; you can really feel it. I have so much more confidence off road now.

I am mostly a hunter/hiker/adventurer and this is the perfect set up for me. I don't do anything crazy, but I do travel some really bad trails getting to my hunting spots. I now feel so much more confident in my truck and know it can take me wherever I need to. My gas milage was also hardly impacted. I got 17.5 average on a road trip from AZ to national parks in California including some off roading. I am now getting about 16.5-17 with mixed driving. This might be because my front air dam was ripped off when I hit that jump... either way I was expecting a bigger hit in fuel economy.

I can't thank the ADO team enough and will be buying everything frontier from them going forward!

Gave it a few months and several thousand miles of use before writing this. Without a doubt, my 2012 4X4 V6 SV king cab handles the best it ever has (I have owned it since new) in all driving conditions. The ADO UCA's are no joke. My alignment shop was impressed that I didn't need anything done at all. A few weeks before installing the 2" lift with ADO UCA's, I put 265/75/16 BFG KO'2 all around. I noticed that I had a slight wobble on some roads I take, but figured I'd get that worked out after the lift. Well, after the lift, the truck was perfect, but I still decided to have the alignment check, and as I said, all was spot on. Still after 5k miles, my truck rides, handles and looks great.
I did add extended brake lines just to be safe and keep everything tied up.
Also, just be aware that the rear shock mounting point widths are narrower than stock, so I shimmed the lower mounting points.
With the BFG tires, the lift really transformed my little SV. My coworkers say it finally looks like a real truck. lol
Thanks Enoch for the advice.

I wanted to give it some time before I reviewed this Lift Kit to make sure it performed as expected on day and after it got loose. I have the Pro4X which already had Bilsteins. The 5100s were a little stiff on day one but by day 30 there is no roll feeling and it hugs the curves. I did the parabolic leaf addon and I have no regrets about that. This is a pricey lift but it will give you the best ride if you have a Pro 4X as the lift options are limited. Great job Alldogs!

Finally got my ado bilstein 5100 2 inch lift installed! I was curious how the ride would be vs stock and I feel my frontier rides smoother and better than stock. With my topper on the truck it’s pretty level too. Still have the stock upper control arms on, don’t think there will be any issues with that

2018 Frontier 4x4 Midnight. I installed myself about 8 months ago and wanted to wait to review. I also upgraded to BFG KO2s as well. What a complete difference this suspension makes. On road it rides so much more comfortable. Off road it’s just plain fun and much more responsive. Nice ADO.

I must say how impressed I am with the quality of service and parts I received from All Dogs. I installed the kit my self in my garage it took about 6.5hrs. I fine the ride superior to factory suspension also giving my 2019 Pro4x a good stance. Thanks Rob

I just had this lift kit with the Broverland leaf packs installed on my 2019 Pro 4 X and what a difference.   After about a week of driving and getting it broken in, this suspension feels more comfortable and compliant than stock.  I am blown away by how much smoother it feels on the highway.  I was also getting a lot of sag in the rear because of the ARE bed cap I put on the truck, but with this lift, the truck now sits as it should.  I highly recommend this product!

Got this installed and the 2018 Frontier Pro4x drives incredibly better with this kit. I've got an ARE camper shell and 165lb rooftop tent on the rear and there's no sag with the Broverland leaf packs.

ADO customer service was so accommodating and informative. They went above and beyond to make sure I felt great about my decision. Stance looks great, feels even better!

I am blown away by how this feels.
My X had 150k on all original suspension, and she still felt comfortable and controlled. After this install, even my wife who hates vehicles was making comments on how much more comfortable the X rode. I got the 5100, with MD front springs and new leaf packs, and then I also replaced upper and lower control arms. On road and off road the X feels more confident, and that says a lot because the OR model stock form already is quite capable.

If I get a different Nissan, I am not waiting to replace the suspension, I am just going to get it here.

Thanks Chad for helping with the few questions I had, and the awesome communication!

Installed the kit a week ago and love it!  I put this on my 2020 SV crew cab with long bed.  Install was a snap if you order the front coil struts assembled.  ADO had the top hat and shock indexed so I did not even have to mess around lining up the shock bolts!

Video of install on Chad’s 2022 is a good reference.  I had to look up the direction for the AAL leaf pack.  Took @ 4 hours to completely install.  

First thing I noticed on ride was better cornering.  Maybe part of it is the elimination of the rake in front end and stiffer suspension.  Seems to have less body roll in turns.  I only have 10,000 miles on the factory suspension and the all dogs springs are superior.  Ride is a bit stiffer but will not chatter your teeth!  A nice balance and nice ride.  Thank you all dogs!!

Love the look and performance of this kit. I do logging road backcountry trips but in my daily driver, this kit was a nice compromise for on/off road driving. Definitely get the light duty if you don’t plan to add a bumper to the front. High quality parts, everyone at my mechanic’s shop off-roads in their spare time, and all were very complimentary of the quality of this kit.

I'm really happy I ordered this kit. ADO was great every step of the way in terms of answering questions about configuring the order. I highly recommend them and will definitely be ordering more parts from them in the future. The medium coil gave me a little more than 2" of lift in front (I have a 2021 pro 4x). The AAL lifted the rear of the truck 2" (I took out the overload leaf) Like other reviewers, I think the truck still drives well after the lift. Bottom line: these are high quality parts sold by people who know what they are doing.

Ordered my lift kit at the end of March and just picked it up today (mid May) parts and materials are on back order for damn near everything these days so just have a little patience when ordering. I spoke with Chad for a while when I picked up my parts; very knowledgeable and helpful. He gave me some good insights to issues I might come across while installing the lift. Anytime I need parts or mods for my rig I will be checking ADO first.

I’ve had the kit on my ‘17 Pro4x now for about a month. My kit included Medium coils and the BROverland leaf pack vs the add a leaf. I have a 200lb ARE cap plus bike and kayak racks on my bed. The bonus support of 400lbs with this leaf pack is 1000% worth it. Loaded down with camping gear, bikes and often a boat I was getting a lot of butt sag before switching to this leaf pack. As of now I’m only loosing about 1/2-3/4” fully loaded from the 2” gained when loaded in the rear. My front end alignment went great with stock UCA’s. No issues.

Spent last weekend on some very rough and choppy unmaintained roads and the suspension was awesome. The handling was great. No issues. Felt solid. Unloaded the ride is a bit stiffer overall but not in the slightest way harsh. Honestly, I’d call it confident and stable. The kit on my Pro4x gave me 1 5/8” lift in the front and 2” in the rear.

I also want to give 10 thumbs up to the gents at ADO for their amazing customer service. Their information via phone, chat and email is top rate. And they are putting out some of the most functional and informative videos on YouTube these days- especially for beginners.  At every turn leading into this purchase they took the time to advise me on what items were best suited for my needs and not once attempted to upsell me on anything.

Solid company- solid product- function over flash. Very happy with the money spent at ADO.

Bought this setup with the broverland for my '18 Pro4x with 55k miles. It's my daily but I do alot of camping, hiking outdoorsy stuff and haul 2 full-size dirtbikes, 2 hefty sized dudes, plus gear pretty regularly and the stock suspension was starting to sag and bottom a decent amount so it was time to upgrade. Awesome customer service, answered all my dumb questions, and pointed me in the right direction. Suspension is slightly firmer than stock, not harsh, just feels more firm and planted. Does awesome on crappy Norcal roads, and absorbs bumps and whoops offroad. The broverland leaves with 2" lift coils give truck a stock rake/stance with no load, and handle about 1150 lbs of payload good enough to smash down forest roads at 65mph+ ;)

Tldr: best liftkit for weekend warrior rigs, super functional, and rides/looks great.

Very happy with this kit. I was worried about it being too stiff, but the ride is great. Lots of flex with the rear springs. Nearly perfect amount of lift -- I added the 1/4" thick spacer to the front as well to level it out a little more. https://www.clubfrontier.org/attachments/pre-post-lift-jan-2020-anim-gif.315595/
