Very interesting, makes me start thinking!!
-
I used to live in north charleston SC, I liked there in SC! Never made it to Columbia SC though
-
LOL, any other use of such quote Would be odd!
-
Ok cool, yeah thats an awesome area down there I miss it. We used to go to the Buffalo River (I think thats the name) very scenic!
-
But besides that side track anyone have any input, sorry I'm not putting anyone down, but PA don't get rude because I didn't buy your stuff it just wasn't for me. Someone else I'm sure will buy it.
-
You're kidding right? If that's "surface rust" I'd hate to see "rust" I'm not being an @** about it if I'm going to spend a lot of money on something I don't want "surface rust" next time send me pictures of something cleaned up and rust free and perhaps I'll buy it.
-
I'm sure you could but for piece of mind I'd rather not risk it. I'd rather buy new or from someone out here in AZ where we dont get rust,

Wo0denSp0on, where is Genoa Arkansas? I used to live in Harrison Arkansas, north west area sorta near Fayettville.
-
Yes, Unfortunately otherwise I would've grabbed it up, weeks ago.
-
Thanks yeah SAS just a bit too much $$$ forme right now. Look forward to others input, again thanks!
-
So the folks that have done this and ordered it in pieces I could use some help. I don't want to bother with the AC "lift package" as, if I'm not misunderstood, the rear coils need to be replaced with jeep coils right? So if I piece this together I know AC front lift coils, KYB struts (I think I know the correct part number, if anyone knows for sure that would be great), SFD from krypton. My main concern here is rear coils and rear shocks? Could anyone provide part numbers for those, also I want the longest rear shock that will work for most travel, so any input is greatly appreciated everyone, thanks in advance!!

Please do a Build Thread for this!! Or are you having it done some where?? This will look great!! -
Pictures please!! Also you wouldn't happen to have a write up on this would you??
-
Any new ideas on this guys? Just thought I'd see, hope everyone had a great weekend! The weather was perfect out here, man I miss wheelin!
-
I had the Firestone Destination M/T's and I liked the white out on those, but yeah on those ones pictured above not a fan. Its almost like its too big. So it depends on the tires i think!
-
Awesome!! Yeah that's what I was kind of trying to explain in a not so well way, lol! But one thing since I would think most trucks use coilovers and not struts, I wonder if there would even really be a longer extended strut?? Damn you Nissan for using struts!!!
-
So is the missing link in addition to the sway bar? Does this have any effects on the articulation of the front suspension.
-
Another question for you SFD guys out there, have any of you noticed or have concerns for the blocks shifting as there doesnt seem to be much in the way of center stability. What I mean is when wheeling, as normal daily driving i dont see this to be an issue unless your normal daily drive is wheelin in that case AWESOME! But what i mean is the blocks are |_| , well a full square or box. With any offroading I'm worried with the twisting of the truck that the blocks could end up like \_\ or /_/ get my idea?? Shifted as the truck gets twisted on obstacles. I know I'm probably over reacting or over thinking it. I've just never done a suspension lift like this and have concerns as we do a lot of off camber and twisted wheeling out here, not much like mud wheeling or dirt type trails. Lots of rocks to crawl over so the trucks get twisted.
-
Man I really wish this was a marketed part!! But at this point I think it would almost be easier to modify a longer strut to fit our pathfinders. I need to get with my buddy Penski and see what his views on this would be. It would be great to incorporate, somehow if at all possible, a longer strut and the SFD, so we wouldnt have to have a coil spacer!!
-
But with the droop issue couldn't there be a limiter strap of sorts to prevent too much down travel
-
So I wonder if we could somehow modify another extended strut to fit the knuckle of the our pathfinder. I'm not a big fabricator guy as you may assess from my posts just trying to come up with other ideas. But I do have a really good friend that is a wizard fabricator. Is this even something that could even be a possibility, to modify an extended length strut to work on our pathfinders??
-
So is it that the strut shock doesn't extended enough to match the extended coil? Too bad there isn't an extended length strut too match an extended length coil. Or an I still wrong on this, lol, sorry guys.
-
Yes pictures would be great!
-
So just a though and I'm sure it's been explained so again sorry, but with the front coils, when doing the SFD it requires a coil spacer. Is there no way to use a longer coil spring without the spacer? I just hate the idea of using the spacer? For example the rear to lift it I've read on here you use a modified jeep coil thats extended with a modified coil spring perch? Maybe as I'm new to struts I'm not grasping the need for coil spacers up front. Any explanation/ help is always appreciated. Thanks again everyone!
