You're the man, really appreciate all the guidance so far. I've learned over my many car and bike ventures, let the guys with the big air tools and lifts do this kind of stuff. I'd rather avoid bloody knuckles and a bent radiator (just about ruined a 800 radiator on my camaro build)

I owe you a burger at the Fontana Meet :)

Please don't take this the wrong way but all the ambitions everyone has to lose weight on their cars is kind of a crack up. They could just as easily stop eating burgers. People used to spend 1000's upon 1000's for carbon tanks and bodywork for their bikes only for their belly to hide it all.

With the Audi I owned, the shocks usually blew w/in 10K miles. It was a VERY common failure. But I have no (and I mean ZERO) experience with this on Nissans. Just food for thought.
