I have a 2002 with 58,000 miles on it. I have a 2" BL, PML and 33's that I put on 2 months ago...or so. My question is what should I do to make sure the steering can handle all of this? Steering stabilizer? grassroots4x4 center link? calmini complete system? thanks

Based on fellow SCCX member's previous experience, you might want to stay away from Calmini.

There's one from 4x4parts.com...

And there's Total Chaos...

======================



 Nissan Heim Joint Tie Rod Steering
Maximize suspension travel and handling. Total Chaos offers this steering upgrade package for your 4wd or 4x2 Frontier, XTerra, and Desert runner TC long travel kit. Factory tie-rod ends can wear prematurely during off road abuse. Old or worn components cause sloppy steering. Teflon-lined aircraft grade heims replace the stock steering components. Heat treated mis-alignment spacers, chromoly tie rods and grade 8 hardware are included.
PT# - 91099
Price: $535.00

 Nissan 4x2 / 4x4 / Desert Runner King Kong Steering Kit
The Nissan King Kong steering system is designed to eliminate the problematic sloppy steering associated on the 4wd and 4x2 Frontier, Desert Runner and XTerra’s. Starting with the stock centerlink pins that get worn and cause most the slop in Nissan steering, TC built an 11⁄4”  custom chromoly replacement that is designed to double shear a custom idler arm, gusseted pitman arm and heim inner tie-rod ends for maximum strength and durability. TC retains the factory idler arm pin for ease of bolt on reinstallation, and incorporates the idler arm gusset to prevent the pin from bending. The custom idler arm internal components include double stacked internal sealed roller bearings that replace the factory inner rod ends and include a Teflon lined bushing and chromoly inner sleeve that upgrade where the idler arm pivots. The inner sleeve prevents over tightening the idler arm guts during assembly and all components are individually replaceable. TC gussets and modifies the factory pitman arm to incorporated a 3⁄4” uniball and misalignment spacers which bolt to the centerlink. TC utilizes 5/8” grade 8 hardware to connect the centerlink, idler arm and pitman arm components. A $65 pitman arm core charge must be applied. Heim steering is required to install the steering system. Stock length applications will be available Fall 05.
