Who is fixing you main leaf? Can?t they do the ?add-a-leaf? and install it for much less.

I'd rather ditch the crappy Nissan leaf springs. I'm looking at aftermarket packs.

Get a hold of Dave at Bandit 4x4. His are the best springs you can get.

The link you provided is for ?add-a-leafs? that ?add? to your existing Nissan OE spring pack...
I have Bandit4X4 packs and think they are the best but he would need a core which you don?t have plus you?d have to wait.
You might want to check into Deaver or Alcan complete spring packs.
IMHO I still think you?d be better off going to a local shop if you need them now.

Add a leafS, my bad. I've seen add a leaf but never something like that. Thanks for the links! I keep expecting to hear a snap everytime I hit a bump now. haha

It is cheaper in the long run to just get the right spring pack rather than replace stuff over and over as it sags. +1 for Bandit4x4.

Sounds like I can't go wrong with either Alcan or Bandit. That will be the next thing I buy for the X, after hearing about the Nissan springs and my own experience at 57,000 miles...I want to upgrade.

I had Bandit and they were incredible.
It was nice having them back there and knowing that I didn't need to worry - at all.

Romeo.
They went in really well and, if hadn't been for the freezing ass rain that started half way through, we'd have finished the job in no time.

I would have got Bandit, but after several unanswered emails I finally got an email back, but it was too late because I ordered from Alcan. Someone needs to tell Bandit to finish his website. I would have gone with him, but he took too long to respond. Sorry Bandit.
