97SE

interesting...well, for what it's worth...I think I'll be selling my "rare" R50 soon, so if anyone is interested, please let me know.

anyone know if these from an 01 will fit? alos, what color are they? grey or black?

that was along time ago...guess I should change my signature. I finally changed it, after about 2 weeks after the first 5...when I finally figured out what that tool in the pouch was for

still looking for OEM rails if anyone has them...sorry for the long delay. a lot has happened since I last posted.

anyone out there know where I can find build stats (i.e. number of units built) for each year model and specs? I'm curious b/c I saw someone post on eBay "rare 5-speed" and I was just curious how rare my 97 SE 5-speed really is.

word.

I used a few washers to make up the difference...all is OK now I hope. #9 setting will definitely rattle your teeth :cool2:

DJ, can you take a picture of your lower shock mount and post it here? I'd like to see how they handled the spacing issue.

Here is a pic showing the width differences...

come on guys, has nobody installed these shocks on their Pathy? Well I called Rancho, and they said the reason they don't fit is b/c they don't make a shock to fit the Pathfinder. Way to go AC ...so misleading.

would pictures help this cause? I can post them after work if necessary...

Go with 31x10.50...don't put the 30x9.50 on it as they are to narrow and look retarded (trust me)

what about the top mount? Did you take out the metal bushing inside the rubber bushing to get it to fit over the bolt?

OK, so I'm trying to install these RS9000x on the rears. 1.) First thing...the upper mounting pin is larger than the hole on the RS9000x. However, there is a metal bushing inside the RS9000x upper mount that can be pushed out. If I push it out, the shock will fit. Is this OK? 2.) The bottom mount on the Rancho is smaller than OEM shock. The OEM has a flared bottom that seats in the cradle on the lower shock mount. The RS9000x does not have a cradle...just a straight up rubber bushing. Therefore, the Rancho is about 3/4" narrower than the OEM. If I mount it, there will be space between the lower mount bracket and the rubber bushing on the shock. The shock would not be tightly held between the lower mount bracket. Someone suggested filling the space with washers. What gives? Am I missing something here? TIA ~Stephen

DJ- How are the 9000's on the #1 setting?
