Re: Suspension Lift
Hi Jalal
I had the Pedders Red Bull Springs fitted by one of our local dealers the first Xtrail they had done. It took them 6 hours including a wheel alignment after all the springs had been fitted. Total Cost $685.95
It has made a big difference to the Vehicles performance off-road. It is suprising what 30mm extra clearance can do, and also with the larger dia wire the vehicle does not sag when loaded up with camping gear & towing the caravan.
My Last 4wd a Landrover Discovery was kitted out with every extra you could think off as I used to run a 4wd tagalong adventure company (a second buisiness) but I have slowed down on that as my main company has been too busy.
I have looked at the Aux fuel tanks and there are not many on the market. the best one I have found is by Long Range Automotive and is 50L in size and fits at the rear next to a modified exhaust It costs around $1067 Supply or $1452 fitted.
I have found under body protection plates on Japanese web sites and I think it would be easy to get a local fabricator to make some.

Re: Suspension Lift
Hi Swagman,
I think the price you paid is little bit more expensive than what Duxbac was quoted by Pedders (see above post), but I guess they've charged you for the 6 hours labour, which is a huge effort in itself.
The 30mm lift would make a big difference for sure.
Was THIS the Japanese web site you saw about the bash plate and other goodies?

Re: Suspension Lift
Hi Jalal
Yes that was the web site I saw the xtrail parts.
The price to fit the Springs was higher than I was origially quoted
Front Springs $189 a pair part no 7892
Rear Springs $189 a pair part no 7893
Labour $200 ($50 per Spring)
Total $578
The extra costs were encountered as this was the first Xtrail they had worked on (rear springs were harder to fit than expected and I also asked for a wheel alignment & underbody check as I do a lot of offroad exploring.
Pedders head office recomended that fitting costs would range from $50 to $80 per spring.
Being in the country also plays a part in prices as the local workshops dont have the volume of customers to offset first time costs, I bet the next customer got a cheaper price...lol

Re: Suspension Lift
Fair enough Swagman. I think the price will come down more once they do more xtrails as you said. I'll wait until then
