    Does warrenty still cover if you lift the vehicle? I thought once you modify the vehicle it voids all warrenty. Good luck man.

    why would you sas a full size titan? Given it'll look cool and crush cars but really you couldn't expect it to fit down many trails with out completely screwing up the exterior. If you want a truck that's really good at mall crawling too and a lot of money to spend on it you could build this. YouTube - Supercharged Nissan Titan 46" Baja Claws Destroyed It's capable but if it was me sinking that kind of money in it i'd be afraid to take it any where.
    For less than 1/4 of the money it would cost to build a "capable" sas nissan titan with a cummins diesel you could build one heck of a toyota rock crawler that actually fit down trails and last longer than any nissan could. All it's gonna be is a bro dozer with a butt ton of money sunk into it. Don't let me rain on your parade just an offroader's opinion and take it with a grain of salt. I like the dropped yotas and am in the midst of building one i just come from the offroad side of the scene and figured i'd share.

    welllll thanks but no thanks lol.. I do want a small truck to beat around the trails but I dont take the truck on trails.. there are none here.. all we have is mud pits... I still wouldnt take it mudding a whole lot, but just like lowered 2wds that are only good for making the owner happy by driving what he wants that would be the case with the titan.. solid axle for real lasting performance, and the turbo diesel to be able to smoke a lot of other cars and trucks while rollin on 40x15x22s cuz if I use it or not.. how many other diesel titans with sas do you see driving around haha

    true it would be sick to see a diesel sas titan. And like you said it'd make you happy (who wouldn't it make happy?)

    I was just suggesting a SAS cause its easier to maintain, and dont have to worry about cv boots, rank and pinion, joints, etc, etc having to be replaced all the time, especially with a high lift. And even though you SAS you can run like 4" springs and make it a daily.

    nope, thats wrong. thats just what the dealerships want you to think so they will get paid for all the work. for a mod to void any warranty, the dealership is supposed to prove that mod caused whatever damage occurred to the vehicle.
