Does anyone sell a 3" body lift for a 2001 Xterra? Can a 2001 Nissan Xterra fitted with a 3" body lift?

www.4x4parts.com, though the 2" is a LOT less hassle.

I sincerely appreciate the prompt response. What makes the 3" a hassle over the 2"?
With a 2" lift, what is the largest mud terrain tire which can be installed?

Thank you.

The 2" lift doesn't require a lot of the relocation work. You don't have to install the radiator drop brackets, don't have to extend the fuel filler neck, etc. It's a lot more work to get that extra inch.

You can fit a 33x10.50 tire with a 2" body lift no problem using the factory wheels.

Thank you. Will the 33's fit the 2" lift without rubbing? If I go the 3" route, I'm assuming the 33x10.5 will fit without rubbing? Would you recommend any particular mud terrain tire over another?

Again, thank you.

There are a few running 33x10.50 tires without a body lift, just the "poor man's" suspension lift.
With or without a lift, body or suspension, you'll have to do the obligatory trimming around the front wheel opening to prevent rubbing. Otherwise, with no trimming, you can't really get away with anything more than a 32" tire.
Either way, for an Mt, there are a lot to choose from. I've never had a set (ATs and Swampers only) but I don't recall anyone saying that any particular one was lousy. The BFG MT is always a good choice, but a little on the expensive side.
