Another pathfinder lift thread

[Justinrps13]

So i know its been covered but I can't find any threads within the last few years on it and it seems the parts availability gas changed, I currently have a 2 inch body lift on my pathfinder and want to add a 3 or 4 inch lift on top of that, From what I'm finding, supposedly the d21 hardbody rough country lift will add 3 inches in the front with just the upper control arms and we can source coil springs from calmini or from certain jeeps to raise the rear

 

My question is, is this still viable? The rough country lift claims 1.5-2 inches, Is it just the slight difference in pathfinder and hardbody suspension that means it provides 3 inches on one and 2 on the other? Or was that old information from a discontinued kit? If it does provide 3 inches how does it do so? Is this just a crank the tortion bars and deal with camber problems poor mans lift or does the upper control arms allow you to crank the tortion bars and still have camber adjustment? And finally will I need yo get longer brake lines with a 2 inch body and 3 inch suspension lift?

 

As far as a rear lift goes I see alot of options but it seems non of them give a true 3 inch lift as most of them sag pretty significantly and since my pathfinder is a 4 door with a tire carrier and will probably see a heavier bumper soon what are the best options for rear springs? Should I just skip trying to save money and just buy the calmini springs? Does rough country still sell some that will work?

 

Thanks for putting up with my probably already answered questions had this truck for 6 years and finally decided to do something with it, unfortunately all the info I can find seems to be from about the time I bought it lol

There is someone on this site that sells rear spring spacers if you want to go the cheap route. Here is the link - https://sfcreation.com/products/rear-spacers

 

I have a 3 bl and 3 inch suspension. I used 3 inch rear spacers and heavy duty torsion bars from AC. You can go you're own lane on this one but I have no complaints with the spacers. They don't ride rough surprisingly.

The spacers will have no impact on ride quality, as you're still keeping the stock spring rate.
