Terry...the pictures won't load as an image file directly from your DropBox account. 

Creating a Photobucket account, then uploading the pictures there is a better method.

Then, access your Photobucket account and click on the image code in the box below the photo, and it will say "copied". 

Then, paste the image in the "reply" box here with the image codes around it.  That should help and make photo posting easeir for your in the future.

Actually figured it out.   Dropbox uses an ssl secured URL  https:\\   and the others photobucket et all use a regular URL  http:\\

Thanks again

NO TITAN SWAP!!!!   6" Fabtec Suspension lift which included going Shock over Axle in the rear.    Thanks to Justin...   I think I'm getting more than 6" of total lift.

Which Fabtec kit is this? I'm only finding Frontier and Titan kits, do they have X kit?  And who's Justin, a workshop you can recommend?
Did you get the ARB locker from RuggedRocks?

It is the Fabtec Frontier Lift kit.   To my knowledge so far OZ, Mastagrog and myself have installed them. The front axle cross-members and such are bolt compatible between the X and Frontier.  The difference is the Rear Axle.   The X is spring under axle and the frontier is spring over axle.   So Justin at AOE flipped my X to Spring Over Axle to get the added height. Had to weld new spring perches, relocated my lower shock mounts, kept my longer shackles and AAL from PRG and used the longer shocks from the Fabtech Kit in the rear.    A word of warning!!!  The driveshaft has to be lengthened...  Don't waste your time if you aren't willing to go to JE REEL in Pomona and get a Double Cardon drive shaft fabricated by them.  They have a lot of experience with lifted Xterra driveshafts.  

My front ARB locker and compressor came from RuggedRocks.   With regards to the front locker.   Find a competent experienced well-referenced installer.   Lockers have not been installed in the R180 for very long and it takes real skill to get it right.  I can give you an option if you want
