Ok we bagged the front and we got the wheels and every thing back on started the truck and pumped up the tank, to what i think was 150psi or more hit the switch and it lifted about 1" let it pump some more and no more lift,thought it was the small 3gal tank so i add one more 3gal tank and still no more lift everything is still the same x sept we flipped th Upper C-arms has NE one that has bagged a nissan ever had or know what the problem is. Thanks

Have you tried jacking that side of the truck up? Can you get the control arm to travel its full motion while that wheel is up off of the ground? Sounds like something is binding but I dont really know what would be unless the balljoints are.

From that pic it looks like the upper ball joint....

did you set it up for a bigger wheel and tire combo then your actually running  cuz if you set it up for a 30" diameter but are only running  24" diameter wheel it would do that

Yea looks to me like the upper balljoint is binding, I never understood wat the benefits of flipping the upper controls were???

ya i guess it could be the ball jointsmay be when you flipp the swap a-arms from side to side and flipp ball joints you keep the ball joints on the side the were on,I dont know, I have jacked the truck up and down through full range of motion.im running 20" wheels i guess thats = to a 22 1/2 or more maybe .Im going to flipe a-arms around back to norm to see if its the ball joints .............thanks for the idea

from what i have read about doing it this way you have to swap balljoints from side to side. If that dont work get drop spindles
hrdnissan   +1y

ya ya drop spindle guy.getting the drop spindle isn't going to fix the prob of it not lifting but at this point i am going to put the A-arms back on how they were seeing as thats the only thing that has changed,but once  more i only did the a-arm swap cuz i was told u get more clearence so i could clear the wheel               not lay out, but thanks for your help if every thing was done wright with the swap of the a-arms ther should be no prob,but apparently something is wrong so i will just go back and see if that helps.
