if you do go that route, i recommend trying to source an M205 (titan/armada) front diff. the r180 that is stock is just not good enough. the 205 is a bolt in tho the half shafts connect differently so you will either need to use titan spindles (which are interchangeable as well) with titan hubs and brakes and wheels, or get the aftermarket shafts that convert the 205 output to the stock xterra hubs. just doing the swap will gain you about 3" of lift in the front due to the extra width and the normal angle of the arms. gives you about 6" of track width up front. the arms bolt in with no modification. PRG sells some tie rod extensions for the steering gear. everything is interchangeable. it's pretty easy to do, you just have to figure out how you want to do it. consequently, aftermarket titan control arms are bolt in as well for more down travel
