#8 of 10 Re: Low Ground Clearance 2006 Nissan Quest [mrragu2u] by breton Dec 03, 2006 (4:48 pm)
Replying to: mrragu2u (Nov 28, 2006 7:50 pm) I had the same dragging hitch problem with my 2004 Quest. With kids in the back it would drag when backing out of my driveway. I also tow a 1000lb popup camper and it would drag quite often. I ended up putting on Airlift air springs and this solved the problem. They are small airbags that go inside the vans coil springs and you can pump them up with a bicycle pump. I also now tow a 2200lb boat and it rarely drags. I paid $90.00 from the JC Whitney web site for the Airlift springs. It does take a little muscle to work the air bags into the coil springs but the installation did go easier than I expected.   http://www.airliftcompany.com/online_catalog.html

Replying to: mrragu2u (Nov 27, 2006 2:04 pm) I was surprized at the low clearance. YES the van does a great job of pulling I had a special heavy duty hitch installed, just in case... I used to pull a boat, but when I became widowed, wasn't sure if I would still would.   I'm not sure about how to 'raise the vehicle' because when I was checking out replacing tires on my van - they are expensive cause of the rims and size.   Your milage will go down with towing.   I was surprized at how low my milage was on this van - especially when it was published alot higher in papers.

From day one, my 2000 Quest has scrapped the plastic panel under the bumper when the tires hit a tire stop in a parking lot. Tire stops seem to be a standard height- so what is Nissan's problem? I rememeber using those twist in coil spring spreaders from my younger days. Would that be the simplest solution? I only need 1/2 inch more clearance.
