Joe, which one you lookin' at? I currently have AC's front springs and rear shackles (c/o mtdewmike) as well as the deaver mini-pack from PRG. I have full shrockworks armor including bumpers. If I didn't have the added weight of the front bumper, then the AC lift would be extremely stiff.
My suggestion is that if you're starting with a semi-stock X, start with the Deaver mini-pack along with PRG shackles in the rear, then for the front run spacers until you can afford PRG upper control arms with radflo coilovers. They are by far the best that's out there right now.

My truck has shrocks skids sliders front bumper winch kc daylighters. here is the add for AC is $1200.00 a good price? Competition Suspension Package With Bilstein Rear Shocks
Exclusively from Automotive Customizers, our Competition Suspnesion Package is designed to give you the suspension lift you desire, the ride quality you deserve and the toughness you need for off-road use.
Increases wheel travel by 25% with your stock arms.
Package includes:
Front Lift Coils
Coils replace your factory coils
Made of high quality steel using cold-wound process which virtually reduces settling or sagging
Provides improved support for vehicles equipped with a winch or heavy bumper
Will not require removal of upper ball joint to install
Requires coil compressor for installation
Unlike spacers, these coils will NOT cause contact of upper a-arm with upper coil bucket
These coils compress so that wheel travel is not lost by the amount of lift
Coils keep the factory CV angles and steering components within factory design parameters
Powder coated black for longevity
Not recommended for use with spacers
2.5" lift is optimum for great ride quality.
Spring rate is increased marginally which keeps the ride quality comfortable
2 Bilstein Heavy Duty Rear Shocks
Stainless Steel Braided Brake Lines
Stainless steel braided brake lines are made to MVSS-106 specifications
D.O.T. Certified
Resists abrasions and are substantially better than stock brake lines
Complete with fittings to bolt on in place of stock line with no modifications required
Full length 3 leaf add-a-leaf pack
Designed specifically for your Nissan
Includes anti-friction pads, center pin bolts and leaf pack clamps.
Helps revive sagging factory leaf springs
Provides 3" of lift without impeding wheel travel or articulation
Removing your overload leaf is recommended
Bilstein Front Coilover Shocks
Bolts in to the top and bottom mounts
Includes T-6 aluminum spring seats and low profile bump stops
Spanner wrenches are also included
Can re-use stock upper coil mount with isolator from the old coil over
Wedge shims to correct pinion angle
The Competition Package will turn your Nissan into a true off-road ready vehicle.
We highly recommend that you remove your overload leaf when installing our 3 leaf add a leaf pack. If you choose not to, you will need to purchase longer U-Bolts, which are available HERE
Price - $1200.00

My name is Bobby.
No vibrations. Up front I am running AC coils on my stock shocks until I can afford some upgraded coilovers and upper control arms from PRG. Out back, I'm running AC Shackles with a Deaver mini-pack from PRG, along with extended bilsteins from PRG. I also have the extended stainless rear brake lines from AC. I am sitting at 2.5" of lift in the front and 4" out back.
I don't know of anyone running the competition package, but it seems to include everything you need. The suspension that I have so far, I'm probably in around $800 and I don't have a very good set-up in the front. $1200 doesn't seem all that bad. If you decide to go this route, definately let us know how it goes.

Bobby , Thanks for the info! I looked around and for the money I think it might be the right package for me. With 4 inch in the rear and 2.5 in front does your truck sit level? What size tires are you running with that size lift? I saw AC has the coil overs made spec for 05 and up. They are custom built and bolt right in with no fab.(so they say) I think you can get them for $650.00 on there site. When I get this lift I will definately let you know. Joe

I have some rake, but it isn't too bad. I'm currently running 31's as that's what I had before upgrading my lift; but I will be going to 295/75-16's sometime this spring.
