I would use a Wagoneer 44, it is a relatively strong axle, was put under a heavier rig than the R50. I ran one under a 350hp V8 swapped XJ with 40's, and I never had any issues. Build your links properly or swap the right leafs if you are going that route. All should work well.

Been following this build, and am thoroughly interested. Building Nissan's is a whole different ball game than Jeeps. I would love to follow suit with my R50. Would love to see an update.

Okay, so Pathfinders rear ends are way way easier than any XJ front or ZJ front/rear end I have ever done. I didn't even have to drop the panhard rod to get the ZJ springs in. However, I did use an XJ spring isolator in the rear, and the self tap bolts popped, therefore the springs would not stay seated. I will do some research and find out what others vehicles came with a 5" ID coil spring with a bit firmer spring rate as well as longer length. For those of you who are interested, the stock ZJ front coils gave about 4" of lift with the top ear of the coil cut off. Back to work to find different coils. Updates to come.

Dropping ZJ coils in today, I'll post some sort of pics etc. My rear coils on my R50 are shot, bottoms out over even the smallest of bumps. We'll see where this one goes.

I am pretty interested in seeing this build. I also have an R50, and am going to drop a W44 up front. I have built buggy XJ's and ZJ's fitting 40's on all, and want to stuff 37's under my R50. Please post progress as much as possible. I will be doing a ZJ spring swap this weekend in the rear, and be doing YJ 2"SOA leafs up front. I use 1/4" plate for all of my cross members etc, I will begin a build thread asap. Again, post up as much as you can, I will be following. Thanks
