These are on National Back order until April 30th. -
I need some manual locking hubs (28 spline) for my pathy; anyone know a good place to get some and cheap? I found a pair for $159+free shipping cheapest.....

When I am turning going a slow speed or when I am just stopped and turning the wheels.... It sounds like a bushing or rubber on rubber type squeeking sound...... I still have no clue what it is.... I have checked out both upper strut mounts also known as "strut bearings" and they seem to be fine, the strut looks brand new except for the dirt on it.... I'm kind of stumped....

New England Mudding Over The Weekend
muddfildvaynes replied to muddfildvaynes's topic in 96-2004 R50 Pathfinders
I have 31x10.5x15 Goodyear mud terrains on some rims I got off Craigslist that were meant for a 4runner... I don't exactly know the offset but I believe its -4.5" because they stick out pretty far.... I have some 33x13.5x15 TSL Super Swampers to put on once I have the SFD... -
Hit me up with a price also and I can see what I can do...
-
Tmorgan made custom 4links which extended them 2" longer to re center the tire and prolly had a custom drive shaft made.
-
What size tires are you running right now, and what are you going to?

New England Mudding Over The Weekend
muddfildvaynes replied to muddfildvaynes's topic in 96-2004 R50 Pathfinders
LOL $20 and a pressure washer at the local car wash and it was clean -
What did you do with your 4link? Leave it stock?
-
Found a new class VI road down the street from my house and this si the result; also it looks like my SFD is ready to put in so I know what I am doing this weekend and will post pics as soon as I take them.
-
How do I find out if this is the problem? How hard is it to fix and what does it entail? Are you talking about the upper strut mount also known as the strut bearing? I just replaced this when I put in the 2" lift with the KYB struts... I pu t these in about 3 months ago they shouldn't already be going out should they?
-
Ok, so I don't think you are talking about a R50 pathy correct? R50 pathy's have struts in the front and a 4link in the rear.... so in order to do a SFD you require the SFD brackets and strut spacers in order to lift it beyond just a suspension lift and not having to do a SAS....
-
So here I am doing the 4" SFD to my pathy but I am curious about the SAS and how hard it is and what it entails.... Can anyone help me out and anyone have pictures of a R50 with a SAS? What is the down time and total project time to do one of these... bumps in the road?
-
They are gonna give you too much lift, as stated before I would not go with Jeep springs unless you do a SFD (subframe drop) and manufacture all the brackets and install them with grade 8 nuts and bolts.... and then you are only replacing the rear springs with the jeep springs and putting in strut spacers to account for the front lift. You can only get a 2" suspension lift to put on the R50; however I got 4.5" of lift out of mine so you might want to look into that on 4x4parts.com.... As for the springs.... save them for when you want to go bigger and do a SFD..... but again you are gonna have to modify your spring perches to fit those springs.
-
The Jeep Grand Cherokee is the big brother to the XJ and therefor has stiffer springs; through some research unless you are going to do a SFD it is not recommended to use their springs because of the stiffness and they are over stock specifications in length and diameter... If you are just looking to stiffen up the rear go with the Air Lift 1000 or you could do a suspencion lift from 4x4parts.com or even order some springs from coilsprings.com; however if you go to the 4x4parts ite they should just sell some stiffer springs made to stock specifications. The stock springs in the R50 are rated at 115lbs get some at 160lbs and it should eliminate the sag.
-
Go with Jeep XJ springs, but you are going to have to modify your spring perches to fit the diameter of the springs as our is 4.9" and I think Jeeps are 5.5 or something liek that.....
-
That means they are being coiled or wound up.... apparently they coil their springs by hand and because this is a custom order...

Just got word today that my order has been shipped; cant wait to get them and get this lift installed. It was like $270 total
-
Does anyone have any pictures of where is the link to that thread, I am not that familiar with the r50 diffs..... Tyler are your diffs locked, and they come already to install? What about some of those 4-links I saw you that you made; how much for a set of those? Could you send me a PM with some pricing? Do you have anymore pointers on re-stacking the discs? How long of a project is this?
