One - just checked the tyre pressures (standard size tyres) and is there any reason why they should all be around the 36 to 40psi? Data plate on the door for three up is 26psi all round. I have adjusted them to 26psi all round and now they look a little under inflated?

Two - Do you think my front end is a little low? See photee.

your pressures are correct if from cold to hot they rise 4lb Rick

Torsion bars need winding up or re indexing but with standard tyres 26 psi is correct but a few run with 30 psi in all 4

Yes ur front is low and yes they look almost a tad flat when at the right pressure. :thumb2

Take a photo with front wheels straight, they do tend to sag at the front over time. Not sure but there may be a workshop regarding the front torsion bars.

just wind the torsions up a touch should be about 20-25mm lower than the rear

I'll have to read up on how to do that :augie

I did read somewhere that the height should be 32 inches from floor to the highest point on the front arch :rolleyes:

when i did mine i just measured from bottom of wheel rim to bottom of arch and made sure was around 20-25mm lower than the rear on each side, its a piss easy job to do only takes a few mins but you might want to spray the adjusters with some release spray for a few days first

Is there a workshop item for this?

i did one for re-indexing them which will show you the adjuster bolts http://www.nissan4x4ownersclub.com/downloads/workshop/wk46.pdf i don't think there is one for just adjusting them though

for your ride height. look in the manual under section fa32 and that tells you how to do it . the h dimension should be 31 or 32mm .

When I did mine I went slightly higher just top compensate for future sag, once it had settled it looked perfect and still does :thumb2

Measure vehicle posture “H”

H = A − B mm (in) “Unladen”

Refer to SDS, FA-39.

(1) Exercise the front suspension by bouncing the front of the
vehicle 4 or 5 times to ensure that the vehicle is in a neutral
height attitude.

Right, just need to get the truck on level road, measure lower rim to wheel arch. Rear measurement 25mm higher than front.

I have not look at the adjustment yet, hope to do that tomorrow. Is this video that same as what I am looking for?
