I know this has been convered before but I havent been to this site for quite sometime due to the fact the I couldnt do anything to the car . . too much bills. . I remember they said something about a negative offset rim but I cant recall how much of an offset. Can anybody please clarify this and yes I tried the search button but all I get is nothing. : )

Heres the sotry made short. I got this path and since I had it the shifter can be moved without stepping on the brake. Pulled it apart found out old owner zip tied the solenoid so it stays open but that wasnt the problem. The real problem was the shifter button was stuck and it doesnt go back up. Did some wd40 and grease and it went back up but its hard. Is there a spring on the bottom of the shifter that can be relaced so that itll go back up. If I put a shift back on it seems to just go up a little but wont go all the way and free the key from the ignition. Any suggestions in this is greatly appreciated i dont want to spend on the mechanic again reason is he just charged me 450 to reaplce valve cover gasket and im kind of broke.

nice pics! what lift was used on your path? It looks awesome im diggin it.

So??? What other truck can I get as a donor for the solid axleswap?

Since I got this pathfinder about a month now I took off the shifter right away because I have kids and you can just shift without stepping on teh brake. Slowly I started thinking how to fix it and finaly today found out wahts the problem. the old owner strapped down the lever that connects the soleniod so that it stays unlocked. That wasnt even the problem if he looked carefully. The soleniod works fine the real problem is that "maybe" theres a spring in the bottomr of that cylinder looking tube that is weak and it wont push the lever all the way up when the shift knob is back on. Ill try my best to explian. Soleniod works fine locks and unlocks the problem is that the button when you pressed to shift doesnt fully go back up. Is there a spring or some sort that pushes it back up and is it accesible without fully pulling the whole thing apart? Has anyone exprienced this problem. Maybe theres a spring under there that is too weak because the old owner thought it was the soleniod thats the problem and the shifter was stuck and the springs compressed for years and years. Help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for another suggestion. Ill stick to something that has been done before and worked quite well for them. Oh yeah dont mind the vote your reply down thingy I accdentally clicked it when trying to click reply so please dont be offended. The price on these shocks are shockingly cheap nice I like it. Thanks once more.

damm I wanted one of these but shipping here to me would be killer expensive. What kind of front bumper you have one is taht the one on the last pic?

thank you for another great suggestion. This is what im talking about a thread thatl actually help others instead of bashing them that they dont know crap. Ill look into those shocks and shockingly thats a cheap price. By the way did you have nto do some modifications on the mounts the the above mentioned rancho shocks? Thanks you too. Yeah ill try the 4in first and if I want to go any higher in the future then well see what the pocket has to say. Im getting closer and closer everyday to getting this holefully i get everything done before those offroad rigs from teh mainland get here so I can check them out at the trails. Oh yeah, our mud and trials here are way different compared to waht you guys go through there. We have major mud problems and our mud here is not like dirt earth with water it gets to a clayish material its hard to explain but very slippery and by the looks of it you cna almost make pottery out of it.

Nice exactly what I was looking for. Im pretty sure theres others there that used different brand of shocks and would kindaly chime in so noone would ask in the future. Its kool im not the type of person that gets angry when people start asking questions on thier thread its both for mine and everybody else benifits. IM looking for brand choices and specs like what will fit and what wont fit after the 4inch sub frame drop. Those part numbers would be great thanks for the reply. Any other brand of shocks used out there iom pretty sure there is and just waiting to be discovered. So the shocks for the F260 with 2inch lift is perfect for your 6in of lift hows about it to a 4in of lift only you think itll still do good or will i tbe too high or long.

What rancho shock will fit a 2001 path with a 4In SFD. Getting closer to purchasing the lift BUT all I need is this rear shocks because they said the front can be reused but I will upgrade later on down the line.

Im getting the 4in sfd from krfabs soon and need some suggestions for the rear shock. Il say it again this is my first 4wd vehicle ive been a racing fan my whole life and never played in the dirt, mud or climbing. What shocks do you guys suggest that will work best and the best bang for my buck. Thanks in advance for your replies and help. I know there alot here that had used this kit before so a little advice will be greatly appreciated.

Okay this will probably be the most stupid question but what car or truck can I get a donor axle from to do a solid axles swap? I really would like to be the first one on island to do a pthfinder the represent the nissans out here because majority is all toyotas and jeeps no nissans.

Still doenst clear up what kind of shocks will be needed for teh rear. This is where im stuck I dont know what shocks will be needed for the rear or even the front.

Nice im getting my lift soon. To those who had used the Krfabs SFD does the lift require and new set of shocks? Once again im very new to this thing and just working way up. Ive been wheeling in teh weekends and ill take pics next time. Please let me know to those who has used this SFD I will be getting mine soon and want to get everything before work can be done.

Just to help you a little im not no expert im a beginner in this pathfinder thing. Ive been mailing krfabs because ive been looking to purchase the kit. if you go to the site scroll down itll explain what you need for the rear. You willl be needing the adaptor for fit WJ springs and get a 3in lift springs for the WJ. Whats so nice is you get two choices adaptor where you weld or not to weld. Try the search button it does wonders. I also made a thread about lifting before if you search youll find it. Good luck.
