How Do I Lower My Nissan Pickup Truck?

Lowering any vehicle can be a simple job, but it is important to understand the process and the tools needed before beginning. Lowering a Nissan pickup truck is no different, and can easily be done with the right equipment and some know-how.

Step 1: Gather the tools you will need for the job. You will need quality automotive jack stands, a floor jack, and an adjustable wrench set or socket set. If you plan on doing any welding, you will also need welding equipment.

Step 2: Put your Nissan pickup truck on jack stands to ensure it is secure while you work on it. This is a very important step that should not be skipped! Once your truck is securely on the jack stands, use an adjustable wrench or socket set to loosen any bolts that are holding the suspension in place.

Step 3: Remove the shocks from your Nissan pickup truck. This may require some cutting if your shocks are welded in place. If this is the case, use a cutting torch to remove them safely.

Step 4: Install lowering blocks between the axle and leaf spring of your Nissan pickup truck. This will lower the ride height of your vehicle and provide a more aggressive look.

Step 5: Reinstall your shocks onto your Nissan pickup truck and tighten all bolts with an adjustable wrench or socket set. Make sure all bolts are tightened securely before attempting to move your vehicle off of its jack stands.

Conclusion:

Lowering a Nissan pickup truck is relatively easy with some basic tools and know-how. By following these steps, you can easily achieve a lower ride height without having to spend too much money or time. All that’s left now is to get out there and enjoy your new lowered ride!
