MaxTrac 04-17 Nissan Titan 2WD/4WD 2in Front Lowering Coils

MaxTrac 04-17 Nissan Titan 2WD/4WD 2in Front Lowering Coils is a spring, which carries the vehicle weight and sets ride height. Changing it changes both, and it changes what the dampers are being asked to control. Fitment on suspension parts is decided by year, make, model, drivetrain and often trim, so check the fitment listed below against your exact vehicle rather than against the model name alone.

What changing this affects

Suspension parts only work as a set. A single component changes the loads on everything it is bolted to, so it is worth understanding what else moves before you order. If this part alters ride height, it alters camber and toe, which means an alignment is part of the job rather than an optional extra afterwards.

Ride height also decides tire fitment. Lifting or levelling a vehicle changes what diameter of tire clears the fender at full lock, and that in turn changes your effective gearing, your speedometer reading and how hard the drivetrain works. If the plan is bigger tires, work the whole chain out at once rather than one part at a time.

Fasteners and bushings are consumables here. Anything that has been torqued into a bushing and then removed has already worked once, and reusing stretch fasteners on suspension is not worth what it saves.

Specification

Before you order

• Confirm year, make, model, trim and drivetrain. Two wheel drive and four wheel drive versions of the same truck rarely share suspension parts.
• Check whether this is sold per side, per axle or as a complete kit before you set the quantity.
• Budget for an alignment if this part changes ride height or moves a pickup point.
• Check what else the change demands: extended brake lines, longer sway bar end links, a driveshaft or carrier bearing spacer on bigger lifts.
• Work out the tire size you plan to run at the new ride height before you order either one.

What you may also need

• An alignment after fitting, if ride height or geometry changes.
• Replacement hardware and bushings where the old parts have already been torqued once.
• Matching components at the other end of the vehicle, so the front and rear are working to the same spec.
• A torque specification from the vehicle manual. Suspension fasteners are torqued at ride height, not on the hoist, or the bushings end up preloaded.

Install notes

Spacers and bolt on dampers are a driveway job with hand tools and proper stands. Anything involving compressing a coil spring, releasing a torsion bar or unbolting a control arm needs the correct tools and is safer at a shop. A compressed spring holds enough energy to kill.

Torque bushing fasteners with the suspension loaded at normal ride height. Tightening them with the wheels hanging locks the bushing in the wrong position and tears it apart within a few thousand miles.

Ordering, shipping and returns

Unless the title says set or package, the price shown is for a single item. Set the quantity in the cart for a full set. Orders ship from a United States warehouse, normally within 1 to 3 business days, and orders over $199 ship free. Tracking is emailed as soon as the shipment is created.

Unmounted and uninstalled parts in original packaging can be returned within 30 days. A wheel that has had a tire mounted on it, or a tire that has been fitted, cannot be returned, because neither is new any more. That is why we check the fitment data on every order against the vehicle you give us and contact you before shipping if something does not add up. If you are not certain, send us the year, make, model, trim and what is on it now and we will confirm it first.
