help with 02 frontier

[1loud97]

ok i have a couple questions. i just purchased a 2002 ext cab frontier auto bagged on 20s. bag on axle setup with reverse 4 link. when i lift the truck up it jerks it forward, and my tranny seems to kick from 1st to 2nd. and upper gears seem sluggish. i heard you can change loosen or tighten the link ends to fix the problem and just replace my tranny rear seal and its good to go. is this true? please give me step by step. also. the rear lays but the front isnt cut out at all. and i cant find shit for pics on this. can you guys help me figure out how to cut the wheelwells out and relocate everything so i can tub the front? thanks in advance.

being able to adjust your 4link depends on how it was set up, if its made to be adjustable then you might be able to change it.Sometimes just bushes are used and are welded onto the bar.

might need to get your drive shaft shortened.

Check your wheelbase too, if its short then you might need to shorten your bars and hopefully not change the dynamics of your bag over axle set up.

Most importantly, send us pics of your set up!

ill post a pic tomorrow, but its a reverse 4 link. bar setup is 2 going straight and 2 angled, i was told to tighten it to pull the rear end back. and also any help on the front end? im lookin at it and it looks like 20s wont clear the booster

Passenger side: I moved my battery(Dry cell) to the back seat. fuse box, wiring, and emissions shit I tucked under air intake next to throttle body. The power steering resevoir is now bolted to the radiator support next to the coolant overflow bottle.
Driver side: moved wiring out of the way, took out air box and put a filter on the end of the air intake tube. drilled a hole in the intake tube and moved (MAF or air temp) sensor over to it.
That's on my 98. to tuck 20's you also have to tub the firewall some. I know on my buddies 04 there was also abs lines and shit on the drivers side fender which you might have too. You'll have to rebend brake lines and move that stuff outta the way. Booster can stay in stock location if your just layin frame.
Now that's just to lay frame on 20's. If your body droppin the bitch the booster will have to move and some of the stuff will have to be moved even more but keep ya chin up, once you start cuttin in the front it goes pretty fast. Just use ur noodle.

well im rockin 20s and dont need any bigger. i just wanna lay full frame for now. bodydrop later but just lay out for now. my 4 link setup sucks how it is mounted. pushed my driveline into my tranny when i lift the rear up, and if i drive at certain angles makes a grinding noise. i just wanna fix the back setup and tub my front end. just want some info and pics to help explain. thanks
