Question:
Hi, I have a 2012 Nissan Xterra and wanted to know that for this pair of sumo springs, can this be used for a lifted Xterra? The Xterra is lifted about 3inches and I am wondering if there is some type of spacer or something to accomodate lifted applications. Kindly advise. Thanks!

I do have an option for you but the SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs part # SSR-210-47 are not the best option for a lifted vehicle because they don't come with spacers nor are they offered separately. The option to make your own spacers is certainly possible however, if you use the Timbren Suspension Enhancement System part # TJRC01 which is a very similar kit you can use a combination of both part # TA25723-90AD00 and part # TA25722-90F00 until you get the gap down to 1/2"-1-1/2". The Timbrens will actually provide more support than the SumoSprings and are equally as easy to install.
The SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs part # SSR-210-47 are 3-3/4" tall and the kit comes with two 1" spacers (one per side).
