Hey folks, Firstly thank you all who have contributed to these forums. They've got me started on the road to lifting my 99' R50. I'm all about doing things properly and although there seems to be a tonne of suggestions on ways to lift a R50, it all seems to be different opinions and conflicting information with actual data and stats few and far between. I've been on a massive internet deep dive and have come up with the R50 pathfinder cheat sheet. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1abVu9ohFIH__y34n4abDAQVU_HOUewkE5vW1ejoBSeE/edit?usp=drivesdk It's a spreadsheet design to allow you to choose which lift option you would like and will show you the actual estimated lift you will gain, whilst suggesting the ideal shock to match the lift you want. At the moment I have it tailored to the parts I am considering using however if there is interest I will add other Bilstein models and the other popular options for R50 builds. Currently I am looking at a 2.5" lift using a Bilstein 5160 shock. I would make a similar cheat sheet for front lifts but the options are much more limited to what struts fit a R50 Pathfinder. Seems to be mainly OME struts or KYB Gas-a-Just. Anyone else know of any other options? Before it's fully up and running I require the brain power of some of you forum member in the know. I have had to make several assumptions and some of the specs I have pulled from random pages of the internet. Can someone please confirm the specs for the coil springs, and can give me an insight into the assumptions I have had to make about R50's? Is there anything else I havent considered? 1. What makes a shock/spring set up perfect? Are my assumptions correct? I am assuming that the OEM shock/spring set up is perfect. 2. How much weight is spread across the rear wheels from the curb weight of the vehicle? 3. How much more travel does the OEM spring provide past the max extended length of the OEM shock? Looking for any constructive criticism and ideas. Hope a few of you will find this useful. I will be happy to add other options and slow include prices so that it can evolve into a super useful tool for anyone considering a lift.
