Kmk2zf Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Does anybody know where I can find a 2" or 3" body lift for a 2004 pathfinder SE? And if so what problems could I eventually have? because from what I hear the suspension lifts will give me problems down the road which is why I was wanting the body lift.

adamzan Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 The 96-04 Pathfinders are unibody. You can't do a body lift on them. But, search around for something called a subframe drop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fukinitupagain Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 theres always one... About as much as you can do is the 2" lift coils & if you're really lucky you can build or find someone to build a custom SFD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It isn't that a suspension lift gives you any "problems" per se; your CV axles just take a serious beating because their angles increase (therefore the boots are prone to tearing). A suspenion lift for a R50 is actually a great improvement, at least in my opinion. I find my truck handles better, rides smoother and just feels all-around nicer than the OEM set-up. If you ever install a suspenion lift, you'll definitely want to consider manual locking hubs. These will disengage your CV axles when in 2WD, putting considerably less stress on the front drivetrain. I'd also recommend beefing up your CV axles (AC makes a nice set and they work great). With the R50 being a unibody, a body lift isn't possible. Read up on the subframe-drop threads in this section. It's chock full of useful information on how a SFD works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to agree with this, even with only half my lift done, the ride is soo much better no more bottoming out over bumps at highway speeds, and the hubs make the truck glide alot more. And as for the body lift no options for that. The only thing you can do is have a AC 2 inch suspension lift or find someone to make you a Sub Frame Drop Lift Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
