skywhr Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 (edited) I looked @ the Calmini 5" lift seems like overkill also the other Nissan developers but most only have lifts for Titan and Armada. I came across the Old Man Emu 1-3/4" lift and did some reading but couldn't find what size tire it would allow or what size struts would go with it. The OME struts seemed a bit high. Just wanted to get some feedback on what some of you have done? I would like to put a 33" or equivalent on it. By the way it is currently completely stock. I want to mod my 05 Pathfinder soon Looking to get: roof rack with light tabs I have 4 lights already to go Rock Sliders Lift *leaning towards the OME 1.75" lift but I need to know what size tires it will accommodate with stock wheels either a safari bar soon or a bumper in the far off future Edited August 28, 2007 by skywhr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can fit 33's in there with a very little trimming in the inside of the fender. Here is the Original Link Another thing to keep in mind is that my 05 SE Off Road, came with 32s. So, its not that far away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pezzy Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 sliders & bumper -- try shrockworks http://www.shrockworks.com/Nissan-c-249.html they make fronty parts - one would think they should fit the pathy?? Worth asking... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinnyPedal Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 (edited) They will make a bumper that looks like the Fronty bumper, just mounts up a bit differently. I might be interested in sliders if they would make them long enough...and they are more realistic $$ until my lottery numbers come in Now if only I knew somebody in the US to get them shipped to. Ooops, just looked back in my email again: Wayne, We have a Pathfinder bumper and sliders, and full underbody skids...Unfortunately it is not on the site yet. The bumper looks exactly the same ( I think it's the same price), we just worked out the mounting. You can call to order. thanks, Nick Edited August 29, 2007 by SkinnyPedal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skywhr Posted August 30, 2007 Author Share Posted August 30, 2007 (edited) I emailed SLR http://www.spencerlowracing.com/SLR_05-07_Suspension.pdf http://www.spencerlowracing.com/SLR_05-07_Suspension They replied with info for my 05 pathfinder, they quoted me $4150 for what he eluded to as coil springs to give 4” front and 3.5”: rear. I also emailed Shrockworks, response follows: "We do have a front bumper, sliders and underbody skids." but he didnt send any links........

SkinnyPedal Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 Dude, because it's not on their site yet. Since you're so desperate for mods, order all 3 and you can post the pics up here for us! BTW, what is up with your links? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skywhr Posted September 16, 2007 Author Share Posted September 16, 2007 Has anyone tried the automotive customizers lift yet? They say 2" in the rear using: http://www.4x4parts.com/public_html/shop/i...3bb544744da82e2 2 1/2" in the front using: http://www.4x4parts.com/public_html/shop/i...3bb544744da82e2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skywhr Posted September 19, 2007 Author Share Posted September 19, 2007 This is the email i received: Thank you for your interest in our products. We do have safari bar for 05 and we also have winch mount front bumper for the 05, we have 2.5" front suspension lift and for the rear we have 2" leveling air bag kit, the roof rack we have listed for 2004 and older Pathfinder will fit 2005 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skywhr Posted September 19, 2007 Author Share Posted September 19, 2007 OK, Rancho offers 2.5" quick lift...thinking Help me out with this if I get the Quick Lift 2.5" front($149.00 each) and rear 2.5" ($73.00 each) and then get the ac front lift coils($149.95 set) what can I do about the rear coil spring? Rancho says you can use the quick lift with original springs and coils and says fits 285/75/16's I have 17" wheels though so I can use 285/70/17's. Could I just use the OEM springs and get the quick lift all around? Suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could I just use the OEM springs and get the quick lift all around? Suggestions? thats the idea with the quick lift, taller springs will lift the front too much and possibly blow out the shocks (read some of the posts on the AC coils) i'l stick with the Old Man stuff. The size tire you're talking about running you could pretty much run w/o a lift so alot of lift isn't really needed unless you want it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skywhr Posted October 8, 2007 Author Share Posted October 8, 2007 (edited) I hear that the Titan front end is the same as Pathfinder's. If this is true can I get the a arms from the titan and get the lift coils from ac? Also, the bilstein coil overs they sell on AC with that kit are adjustable, whats the difference between those and the rancho quick lift shocks? The stock Armada rear springs will provide 2.5-3.5 lift? Used in conjunction with the Bilsteins (can accomodate 2" of lift) sold on PRG's site could this be doable for the rear?? Sorry if I am asking to many questions. I am still eying the Calmini lift kit.... Edited October 8, 2007 by skywhr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foytiX Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 the titan/armada suspension swap is an idea, but it isn't just bolting on the a arms, you've got to swap upper and lower arms, spindles, axles and modify the steering not to mention it adds 2.5 inches width to each side which could make fitting a taller/wider tire even harder. I've often wondered if the rear suspension would swap out as a bolt on. bottom line you'll end up with more wheel travel and one wide track. personally i think it would kick a$$.
