On this episode of Xterra Talk, I'm not reinventing the wheel with how to install a leaf pack on an Xterra. There are some really great resources out there (like Ry the Car Guy-link below) for step by step instructions. This is more of a quick overview of the steps plus some tips for folks that, like me, are more in the rust belt or have older vehicles. I also touch on some difficulties I had with the install and share the research I did to overcome those issues (links below to some of that as well).

Hope it's helpful but if you have any questions as you're tackling this project, just post up in the comments! Happy to help!

Here are the things I mentioned in the video if you need anything:

For shocks, there are a couple of options. I went with the Bilstein 4600's which are slightly shorter. If you want more droop, you could go with the Bilstein 5100's. Here are links to those:
