Ballsie Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 Here is my chit: 02 QX4 4x4 New Fleury 2" lift spacers New KYB shocks New KYB struts New camber bolts New Hankook Dynapro ATm 255/70/17. No wheel spacers and no rubbing at all I think I'm going to swap out the rear shocks with a stiffer set (any suggestions that will bolt right up?). As the rear sways a little too much for my taste. Receiver hitch and roof rack are next, and then I'm done! Anyhow, here are the before/after pictures: Before: After: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5523Pathfinder Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 (edited) Lookin good man! I like the Q at that height! Wish my bro would of done that with his 99 when he still had it. He is still kicking himself for trading it in. Edited February 23, 2014 by 5523Pathfinder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMOKEYR50 Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 (edited) Looks nice! You could stiffen up the rears with some airbags. Very cheap, super easy to install yourself and great for if you have to carry loads or tow - just pump them up to level the car again. Is the swaying at speed? ?If so, the swaying could be your rear trailing arm bushes - the lift might have finished them off. Pretty common on our rigs.

Karmann Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Looks good. As far as the rear, I would suggest some Bilsteins- either 4600 or 5100 will work very well to stiffen it up. If you measure correctly, supposedly there is a model of 5160 which fits too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, If I swerve while driving the rear end sways a little more than I want it to. It drives fine, I just dont want an over correction if I have to swerve from something in the road. I forgot about helper bags. I will look into them. I will be pulling a pop up camper with the truck, so bags would be a grat idea! Thanks for the tip.

This isn't really from the rear suspension compressing too much...and you don't fix that type of issue with stiffer springs. Have you removed or changed any sway bars front or rear?

Ballsie Posted February 24, 2014 Author Share Posted February 24, 2014 No, the sway bars are the originals and are still there. The truck has 110k miles and it didnt not sway like this before all the work I just completed. It has to be something to do with the 2" spacers on the rear springs. Like I said, you have to swerve pretty hard to feel it, but its definitely there and I want to sort it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tad Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Nice looking Q. Love the Tri-Spoke rims on these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhamelin819 Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 (edited) just wondering if anyone can answer my question, with the 2 inch spacers, how much camber alignment is needed? and how are the bolts installed?

misterwizard Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Great looking QX4. I was looking for one of these with low miles when I bought my '04 Pathfinder. I don't regret the Pathfinder one bit, but those QX4's are nice! Good job. R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
