This will probably make me sound like an ass, but I'v never had a job.

1) MPG is a @!*% load better in that than my r50. 2) It actually does really well on the beach 3) and it's nice to be 18 and have a $53,000 SUV, but whatever, some like em and some dont, it's cool Drift: yeah, that's the lift I'm getting. He says they'll be ready to go before he goes off to school so it should'nt be long

I put in 1" spacers on each side. Next month I'll have 7" of lift. :cool2: Cant wait, and thanks. But "what does that mean?" was refering to sammb33's post. Explain buddy...
-
What does that mean? And kinda: AC's lift, Strut Spacers, and 31's.
-
It was an option on the Avalanche. I got one without the plastic, traded it in the next day for one with because it looked like sh*t without it, then totaled that one two days later. On some trucks, that plastic does not look bad, until it fades. Then I got the Denali, so I dont have to worry about that anymore.
-
I'd guess AC's lift, since I got well over 3" from it too.

Installing front springs and struts
OBXbeachpathy replied to kevs03pathy's topic in 96-2004 R50 Pathfinders
It wont hurt it to drive before you get the hubs. Mine have been at a crazy angle for well over a year and I've never had a problem off or on road. -

Get 6, grade 8, 3/8" bolts that are 2 - 2.5" long. I have 1" spacers and the 2.5" length was perfect. And like said on AC, those hubs WILL work as long as your centercaps are big enough. -
I had a 285/75 SSR test fitted on my 16x8 with 4" bs and it just cleared.

So you want to lift your 96-up Pathy?
OBXbeachpathy replied to BigBikeMike's topic in R50 FAQ's & Pinned Topics
Just take your struts to a shop that will fab some up for you and they can get all of the dimensions from your strut, it's the same shape. I have the Conferr rack that is sold on AC's site, and four Hella 500's. -
The GEICO guy who inspected it after an accident said to me, "Wow, you've got a nice Jeep." WTF!!!!???

Those custom spacers are the strut spacers. -

Thanks! I just got the basic 4 coil setup. Upgraded to Rancho 9000's in the rear a few months after putting the lift on, then went with Rancho struts last month, and like Max said, the spacers are custom. -

Dont go with a 10" wide rim. F*ck up you steering. Any strut spacer would have to be custom made. I have the AC lift with 1" spacers up front: Those are 16x8 with 4" BS. I've never had a problem with my CV's in any situation, and I'm more 3.5" over stock front height. -
Your 32's fit because of the rims. They push the tire out away from the struts.
-
Why not lift it? it's really not that much. With a lift you could obviously put on bigger tires. If you arenot going to lift it I'd do 265/70/16. If you want an all terrain, I think BFG is the best, I think their mud terrain is pretty damn good too. Just look around and see what style you like.
-
Kind of tire depends on what you use it for. I drive a lot in soft, deep sand, and the BFG AT works great.

I dont think anybody wheels harder than Max.

You mean the Ford Exploder.

I rolled it on the beach one time. I swear I was amost completley sideways before I actually "rolled over." I even had a 32" spare on my rack, but I was pitched down on the drivers side to the point where I could have probably stuck my arm out and touched sand, then I slowly landed on the side. I was pleasantly surprised at how much angle I had without going over , until I did .
-
I got a full replacment bumper including paint for $179 from the dealer, the same dealer that charged me hundreds and hundreds for the strut mounts.

Which Suspension lift package?
OBXbeachpathy replied to OR99.5Speed's topic in R50 FAQ's & Pinned Topics
Yes, you can use the top mount from the strut. You can buy the hubs from AC. Post Pics!! -
I put silverstars in when I got the car in March of 2003, they look the same now as they did then.
-
Good lord thats a lot of mud Max. I just removed my rear mudflaps. And since they are integrated into the the side trim, I just used a hand jig-saw and belt sander. It looks much better now.
