My X's front end seems to be lower than everybody else's STOCK Xterra. I was looking at getting a baseline as to what everbody's X height is and WHERE you are measuring up front.

Any help is appreciated.

I measure from the frame rails near the front where it starts to bend inward. It's hard to get a constant height because people have different tires. I think CharlesH was at 10.25" with his stock LT's. After we adjusted his torsion bars he was at 11" (hopefully Charles will remember).

There is also a Nissan measurement that goes from the center of the A-arm pivot bolt to the front sway bar bushing, but I don't remember the distance offhand.

Yeah, if you look at the bend there, there are a couple of drilled holes right there. I used that as my point of reference because it's the same on the other side.
