jtchal Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 I went with some 2" strut and coil spacers from SFCreation/Fleurys (on these forums) a couple of years ago and I'm still using them, they worked a treat. https://sfcreation.com/t/pathfinder-1996-2004-r50-platform You don't really want any more than 2-2.5" lift at the front without a subframe drop as it won't be ideal for your CV angles. Also if you're needing to pass WOFs make sure your usual garage is happy with strut spacers, some places get a bit funny with them. I did give the local vehicle mods certifier a call before getting mine and he was happy that they were part of a suspension lift and not a body lift. Keen to see what other options you find. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjotrainbrain Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 2 inches is the general limit, with a spring lift being safer for the CV's than a spacer lift. Since you seem interested in taller, your only option is a sub frame drop (SFD). If you do some searching you can find lots of information about those on this forum. The limiting factor isn't the fact that the vehicle is unibody, it's the fact that it has IFS, so CV angle is the limiting factor. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have camber adjustment bolts installed and even when adjusted max, it's not enough.Sent from my SM-G973U1 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that I've gone with lifted springs, things are different... I will need camber bolts according to the wheel alignment technician. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
