Would you rather have a Lifted, Lowered, Stock, or Other suspension?
What do you have, or plan to have?

I Plan on going Up about 2" or so. Just a little more clearance for the mountains.

I was not sure if this should be posted here or in the Poll forum. So, I took a chance...

Would really like to lift it. Nitro's look cool lifted

 

[APOLLO]

Definately lifting mine, however I do recognize the fact that many people have no intentions of ever leaving the pavement, so I understand why they would like to lower the nitro.

 

[Sarahb69]

Well, I don't really have any plans to "leave the pavement" but that doesn't mean I won't need to at some point. Regardless, one day I'd like to lower my Nitro...whether I'll ever have the extra money to do that, who knows.

Don't get me wrong, the Nitro handles and corners very well...like night and day compared to my Outlander. But it could handle even better with it lowered! :chuckle:

 

[Quiet Lunatic]

Lowered for sure. I have no intention of doing it but that would be my way to go. Plus a couple of inches per side wider in track.

 

[fcsallan]

Lowering would increase performance where Lifting just increases ground clearance without the ability to greatly increase tire size without MAJOR body modification.

Bang for buck goes to lowering.

 

[DCHtemecula]

lowered just a little looks bad a$$ IMHO

 

[desertrat]

I ordered my lift kit from Sportztrailers in NM. The guy I talked to was Josh and I paid only $188.00 for the Daystar lift/level kit.

Shoot you know me if you’re not throwing sparks you’re not low enough.

 

[JerseyNitro]

I definitely want to lower it.

 

[JayDub]

i plan on lowering it just to kill the gap between my 22s and the fenders

 

[Aaron]

I'm definitely planning on keeping it stock. When I get the itch to mod something, I've got my Wrangler.

However, if I was going to do something it'd be a tough call.

To Raise: On the one hand, I'd want to raise it several inches, drop the 20" rims for some 16 or 17" cheap aluminums and toss on some mudders after hacking off chunks of the wheel well and that lower air dam. That'll get me some decent extra clearance when going off the beaten path. I could throw on a brush guard and tack on additional lighting, maybe a winch. The downside is that there is no getting around the fact that the Nitro is not designed as a dedicated offroader, the most noticeable testament to that is the lack of 4Lo.

To Lower: The Nitro can look pretty sick lowered. Get some bling-bling rims and nice tires, toss bzaudio's system in the back and ground effects in the undercarriage. Tint out windows. Find a custom shop to fab up a body kit and snag some euro-style lighting. Downside is that you lose any shot in hell of taking that thing off the road, not to mention heading to home depot and loading up on concrete and supplies for the next project.

Stock: Boring, but cheap. I'm a big fan of cheap.

I think the Nitro is one of the few cars that would look really good either way, as long as you commit to it.

I 2nd that. Well spoken Aaron.

 

[desertrat]

Sorry ya'll! I just feel if it says "4x4" on the back, it goes UP! If it doesn't say anything then slam the hell out of it! BUT! If you live where I live, there is no such thing as slamming a vehicle because you'll only get high centered in the middle of the road.

Any other Nitro owners wish to join the poll?

Well, not lifted, not lowered, nor stock ! I vote "other" !
Just bilsteins for a stiff ride !!!
I have to import them from US 'cause in Europe they do not have on sale this part no...

 

[Frederick]

Would love to install a height adjustable and ride adjustable coil over kit some day. If one is ever made for this car.

 

[homi]

I plan to leave it stock, here in Mexico the streets are like mountains, but you need also good handling. Lower the nitro its not an option, about lifting there's no need since mine is not 4x4 so it won't make it too far in the mountains :shakehead:.

I would love to lower mine, it would look sick but this is no an option and I have no money

 

[JennyLikes]

Since so many people are saying Raise It, others are saying Lower It. Meet them half way. Lower the front and raise the rear for that old time hot rod look. Or to stay in style with the LA look. Raise the front and lower the rear. Either way it would look cool. And this way you will make every one happy.

... Lower the front and raise the rear for that old time hot rod look ...

I kinda like this idea. Would be great to go "Pimp your ride" style, and have the option to do that with hydraulics or whatever it would take. So ... 'other', I guess ...
