So, I contacted roughcountry and fabtech so far and both have nothing as of right now. But they are both interested in putting out a lift for the Nitro.
Yep, looks cool Nitro329! Can't wait to see it with some rims & tires under it!
I like the rack too. I saw that rack in the brochure last year but haven't seen one since. Made me wonder about integrating some sort of ski rack into the basket for the ultimate ski rig.

nitro329, did you ever get 31" tires on your Nitro? If so, could you post a pic in your gallery?Nothing custom. You can find the lift at Daystarweb.com. It happens to be the same lift used on a liberty but this one is for the Nitro. It's kind of hard to find on the website but if you look under New Products you should find it.
The rack is by Rola. I got that from etrailer.com for $150. I'll get 31s on it down the road. The fun funds are a little low for a little while...
Here's what I've done so far:
Rack: Mopar Utilitly Bars and Rola RacK
Driving lights: Hella
Exhaust: Flowmaster 40 with a 3 inch pipe and deisel tip.
Lift: Daystar
Next up...
Air intake by AEM
BFG 31s
Bull Bar or Winch Brace with winch (undecided)
If anyone finds a lift kit for the Nitro that is bigger than 2" please let me know! I am dying to lift this thing.
Unibody frame and no low range.Nitro329....that look SWEET!!!!! Did you have to go with a custom made lift? Looks like a set of 31x10.5's would fit just fine under there. Now THATS what a 4x4 Nitro should look like.![]()
None of this lowered, big wheels, little tires, 'wish it was a car' crap.
Nice roof rack too.
Maybe if compared to the Patriot (another vehicle intended for limited off road use). More likely, the Nitro has a single speed case because it was designed for street cruising rather than off-roading.If it did have 4LO, IMHO, it would rival the jeeps in its class (which is why DC didn't put a 4LO in the Nitro).
Don’t know how your truck was set up, but you could put a 6”+ lift on the Nitro, cut off the front air dam and still not get approach angles as good as the stock 2500 4x4 suspension.Even without 4LO it handles some situations better than my truck because of the size, approach angle (with lift) and Maneuverability).
