  1. he did that to have access u dont have to grind the wheel to make them fit u could just leave the hub caps off or pop them up everytime u need to lock the hubs he just did it for convienence u will see in the picture u posted only the center of the cap was cut to make a hole. u will notice a increase in mpg plus less wear and tear on your cvs i have them on both my r50 pathfinder and i got 2-3mpgs from both of them
  2. zj springs are different than wj springs i have tried to flip flop them around but they dont work on each other them might work on an r50
  3. saw that along time ago a subframe drop and extremly expensive shocks which u have to make custom mounting point it looks like just to be at the same height as a krfabs kit i mean on the plus u get some awesome travel but the amount of work to make them go in is bananas are trucks arent prerunners which is the only benifit to them but this is all just my opinon i mean i have been working on my coilover project for a while on these and im not even close to the cost of those.
  4. the only difference is on the 01 there threaded potion is shorter the shaft are the same length but if u werent to use the spacer on the 96 with a universal mount it would have alot of play
  5. guy with camera : i think bill is stuck in the mud digger driver: My time has come
  6. its just a gasket it doesnt do anything but keep tiny noises down u dont need to replace it.
  7. weird how that works but these have been great for me.
  8. WTH im with fluerys i see this making no sense whats so ever
  9. u guys got DRLS wtf screw that im moving to Canada
  10. i have no idea who makes them but they have a lifetime warranty the send u a paper that has the info on them should they go bad
  11. here u go but there stuff is cheaper on ebay with free shiping bought mine for 172 shipped AMA ingnition coils
  12. they went with this setup because its the only one available because we have no aftermarket support i mean if u just want an easy option get a drawing of a sfd strut adapter and make it 2in instead of 4 like they come with most kits and your done 2in budget boost for the front. Rear u can just a spacer made or do the wj springs but that will get u way more than a 2in lift in the back. But i used to do exactly what u were doing and i gave up on it but in essence its not us bowing down and lining up to spend money its the fact there is only three manufacturers that make lift spring 2 members that make spacers and 1 member who make the sub frame drop kit and unfortunately when u are trying to be unique with so few but highly dedicated members u have to pay to play. I mean u want something cheap and easy u can trade up for an xterra or 4runner u can buy a 2in lift for those on ebay or amazon for under 160 and be done.
  13. mine are closer and i never had a problem devonianwalk is right your good to go
  14. get a different set of hubs maybe i know the warn hubs are clearly the most know but i have the 4wd pros locking hubs and there alot cheaper and i have them on both my pathys and have never had a problem and u can buy two sets of these for 40bucks cheaper than a set of warn hubs 4wd pros locking hubs
  15. yes there is but if u get a universal strut mount it will work either way on my 2001 i have kyb excel g up front i have 00-04 strut on the left side and on the right i have a 96-00 and on the 96 side i had to use the spacer that comes in the kit with my strut mount the 01 strut has less threads so it did not require a spacer the lil silver tube is the spacer in question strut mount oh and heres where i bought mine from koni strut insert
  16. soooo discount tire will do a test fit of a size for u
  17. yes but if u got the 1in spacer i would think u would only need a 2 or 3in spring to match again thats a stock wj spring and as u can see its alot higher than the front which had 1.5 lift springs on it.
  18. just thought of something backspacing of your wheels may make them rub a lil but i bought my lift from stioc and he had oem wheels he has 31 inch duratecs and i dont belive he rubbed
  19. You only cut off one side i had this done with the stock wj springs on my truck and it got like 4in of lift in the rear. The reason why the krabs spring adapter is the way it is and has the 2in innner diameter is to keep the spring from coming unseated if you use the wj coil on the without the apadter it is feared that under flex the extended spring may come unseated and fall out imo not worth it bro u can get the wj springs for so cheap and the adapter is like 45 bucks with a 1in spacer added and the cost of selling your ac coils will probbly cover the adapters and spring cost so why try and go cheaper than a way thats proveb to work and as for bolt in u drill a hole larger that was already there and bolt it in and your done heres how mine was with the stock wj springs
  20. okay first off welcome to the site always good to see new memebers on here second search harder its all there tire size is realative the fact u have a 17 in wheel does not make a difference example i have 31x10.5 r15 and i have a ome lift kyb struts and i dont rub at all now if u convert you metric tire to a standard via. http://www.extremeterrain.com/wrangler-jeep-metric-tire-conversion-calculator.html you get: 245/70/17 = 30.5x9.6/17 265/65/17 = 30.6x10.4/17 so they will fit no problem in my opinon
  21. screw an ls coyote swap for the win lol
  22. well this is what i drive in my unit not a personell carrier but a lil bigger and fun to run over cars in.
  23. i find it strange u have a se with leather interior jk but i test drove a 2004 le platinum and it had one but mine didnt i was sad
  24. So for the first time since jan i have fallen in love with my car ome lift kyb struts new tires all seafoamed cleaned maf and iacv freshly charged K&N my 01 r50 fells like a beast.....and then my girl comes home with the 96 r50 radiator is leaking FML!!1

      Lol Iceman! I'd say he divulged too much into one Pathy and showed no love to the other. Bastard child mentality.
