So I have been looking into findong some information about the differentials and the gearing and have not been able to find much information.... Does anyone know the gearing these pathfinders come with; I have a 1999.5 LE I believe with 4.636 gears? Is there a locker or are we stuck with these limited slips? Any help would be appreciated. What about the tranfer case, is there any upgrades?

Thats good, glad you got everything fiugured out; I actually called in this morning to coil springs and my order is still being made. For reference my order number is 1872; in case anyone else wanted to get the same springs. Glad to hear you got everyhting straigtened out.

No problem I can take those for you, when I put mine on I used the tow hooks and then had brakets half way up the guard that went through my lower grill and bolted to a bolt sticking out.

I cut my inner fenders out too, have had them cut for about 2 months now and have had no problem with them; I even cut the one where my washer fluid was because I put 31's on before I got the lift and had to do some major trimming, and now have no problem with rubbing or stuffing the tire....

Don't know the part numper but the stock spring is 4.9" in diameter to fit in the stock spring perches and it is rated at 115lbs.... hope that helps. If you are getting springs for the 4" SFD you should be ble to mention my name (Terry Henry of NH) and they should be able to look up my order and get yours to the same specs as mine. They are making mine as we speak.

Just checked them, nothing from you though.... whats up?

LOL true, I have pulled many out.

Thanks, but that is actually my buddies 73 land cruiser with a 350 vortech, he broke his rock box in the woods.

Seems pretty reasonable.... I might have to give it a shot as well..... any how to guides? the bushings are made for a frontier though.......

Well I was planning on putting a steel bumper on the front of mine which would help level out the front. SFD's aren't cheap unless you find a good deal which are hard to come by; I am having a local machineing comapany who specializes in 4x4 offroad parts build my kit at a relativly good price...... But it is possible, I would like to know what comes of this front diff drop..... it sounds interesting...... post some pics when you are done with it. I might be interested.

I had this same problem, it turned out to be my sway bar end links, just replaced them with MOOG links from advanced auto parts and it went away..... word of advice put the new links on with air tools, a ratchet and socket wont do it

I dont believe it is to narrow for the subframe I just made it wider for the extra support and strength...... rectangular tubing is pretty easy to make; your fab guy should be able to make you some unless he has some already laying around.....

I believe it is comparable because the stock spring rate is 115lbs.......

I am actually using 2.5"x4" for the front which I have to get custom made because they only make 2"x4" and 3"x4" and im using the 3"x4" for the rear of my SFD, where it will take on more of the stress; it shouldn't effect anything except i recomend using the 3"x4" for the rear but that is just me, everyone is different. look at the PM i sent you.....

I am keeping my front coils that I got with the suspension lift from 4x4parts.com because with the SFD you are just adding in strut spacers becuae they don't make bigger struts for the front...... So I dont see where getting new front coils is needed however if you wanted to make them stiffer?

Tell them you want the same springs that Terry Henry and Tyler Morgan from Pradolifts ordered which is springs made to stock pathfinder specs except the height is extended 5.5" and rated at 160lbs.

Just ordered my pair of springs, apparently you can't really get a discount unless you order 10+ of the same springs, I should be getting mine in a month, will let you know how they are.... I'm trying to round up all the pieces to my SFD like the rectangular tube, the plates to make the strut spacers, brake cables, need to get THE 4 link made, make my driveshaft longer, Ford F250 2wd rear shocks, nuts and bolts, steering linkage...... anyone have any ideas to locate some of these?

Nope I have the RS5000's

I tried gettign a quote and here is what I got out of it.... Hello Terry, No it does not. I would estimate shipping cost in the $30 to $40 range. I will not know the exact amount until the springs have been manufactured and weighted.

I have a set of 31x10.5x15's and I had to do minor trimming to the inner fender and my bumper to make them fit, you might have to do a little trimming unless you have a suspension lift already......

I have the sway bar from my 99.5 pathy along with the mounts and nuts and bolts, I live in NH though so I don't know what the shipping would be..... PM me if your interested.

How much do I have to modify the spring perches to fit those springs and where can I find some instructions on doing so with pictures?

all I can find is front coils from a XJ, is this what you are talking about?

What kind of springs could I use instead of the spacers?
