Firestone Air Bag Helper Springs for a 2005 Nissan Frontier NISMO

Question

Question:

Ok, to clear up some confusion, the 2005-2009 Nissan Frontier NISMO edition is the exact same as the current 2009-2016 Nissan Frontier PRO4X model. Nissan just changed the name, parts are the same for these two trucks only. -The Nismo and PRO4X models both use the Dana 44 variant called the M226 axle 12 bolt differential cover -ALL other Frontier models use the Nissan C200 axle 8 bolt differential cover So, with this information, which Ride-Rite kit 2403 or 2558 will work with my 2005 Nissan Frontier Nismo edition. Both 2wd and 4wd use the same kits!

Firestone Ride-Rite air bags, # F2558, will fit your 2005 Nissan Frontier NISMO. There are Firestone models that will not fit the NISMO edition because of the placement of some brake lines that would block where the brackets for those kits would go but not on # F2558.

The lip is supposed to be there. It appears to be a way to allow the bracket to set more level than what the frame of the truck allows since it is angled and not parallel to the ground.
