Re: T30 Suspension Lift
After spending (near enough to) all day reading here, I haven't found my answer. And not really understanding the posting logic on here, I'll post in here & hope I don't lose track of it if moved
One rear, & one front strut are leaking, so I figure I'll replace all 4. When I 1st got her, someone (can't remember where or who) said they're much better with different suspension, rather than genuine, so I'll replace all 4 springs as well.
Nissan has quoted $1500 JUST for the rear & supply only, but like everything else, I'm guessing after-market has to be cheaper.
Everything I've read has been about lowering or raising the XT. I haven't been able to find anything about simply replacing, & with which brand/s, & keeping at original height!
I'm not after height, it's already high enough for me/us, though I do suspect there will be some because of sag from the old gear.
Am I also right in saying (from reading here) that after-market gear will make the ride a touch stiffer/harder?
TYI

Re:
I'm not too sure about same height suspension but if Pedders do 35mm lift coils they are certainly able to supply standard height ones.
I would start by hitting the phones to see what's available.
There might be some members on here that kept their original T30 suspension from lifting their X Trail, most would be glad to get rid if them after sitting in the shed for years.
I still have my T31 coils that I can't give away.
Don't even look at Nissan, too expensive.

Re:
Bob,
Are you using the Site Search feature at all to help you find the corresponding topics and information? If not, then that would explain why you can't find the answer in this thread, as it only deals with raising/lifting the T30 X-Trail.
Please do a search on "replacement shocks and/or leaking shocks" and you will find existing topics HERE which give you details on aftermarket replacement suspension that is the same height as the factory one. Some are harder than others, but it's all being discussed in the corresponding shocks replacements threads.
If the shocks are leaking this has nothing to do with the springs and you don't need to replace them either. Just replace the shocks/suspension of that's the problem.
Anywa, please use any of the existing threads above to ask follow-up questions, as you are in the wrong thread.
