So far I have swapped out the rear coils with some stiffer ones that gave me a 3" suspension lift. That wasn't so diffacult. I have a set of Pro Comp Es 3000 shocks to replace the stock shocks in the back. I'm actually using springs and shocks intended for a jeep wrangler but I was able to heat of the tops of the coils and bend them to fit the mounts on the Pathy. The shocks turned out to be the same length as the stock ones so I won't actually get more wheel droop, just better damping. It looks kinda funny right now, but that won't be an issue once I am able to install the new struts in the front and level out the rig. The front strut mounts are going to require some extensive modification to fit the ORI struts I have ready to go on. I am looking for feedback here. I'm curious if anyone in here has mounted any higher end off-road shocks like King or Fox on the front of their pathfinders before. I have plans of spanning a length of square tubing over top the engine and attaching it to the tops of the strut mounts to mount the new struts. I've seen this done plenty with jeeps and broncos, but I have yet to see it on a pathfinder. I came to the conclusion that shock hoops were a bad idea since there really isn't a frame to connect them to, but I could be wrong. I'm really curious how others have done this. I know somebody out there has done it. I've seen some pretty tricked out pathfinders out there.
