I did get my engine and transmission mounts from him recently with no issue so maybe it's just the suspension stuff.
That being said I am not sure I want to lift the truck that high again (4.5" up front and 4" rear between suspension and body lifts), getting stuff in and out of the bed was awkward. I do remember the droop travel being non-existent as well which made for a rough ride in certain situations.
I'll probably end up doing a Titan swap (keeping with the current theme) and keeping the lift at 3" up front and 2.5" out back to level it out.

With IFS the only way to maintain good suspension travel while lifting is to go out wider while going up (or do a drop bracket lift  ). The titan swap is the best bang for the buck suspension mod on these Xterra and frontier pickups since it nets a 3” lift up front automatically and keeps the factory down travel. The 3 inch wider stance per side iirc also improves stability as you go up and helps fit the bigger meats. Are you just going to run wheel spacers out back to help even out the track width?
You know, you could cheaply source a titan rear axle pretty easily and just cut and reweld the shock and leaf spring brackets, new driveshaft and voila, better stronger rear to match your swapped front and then you’re rolling in a tiny titan
