Hey guys (and possibly girls) I'm new here but not to my pathfinder. I currently have an 04 SE 4x4. Recently I have been doing some offroad driving with some friends in their Jeeps, Land Rovers, FJ's and other. My stock suspension is obviously limiting me and I feel I want to do a lift to be able to enjoy more of the areas that I shy away from.
My Pathfinder is currently a Daily Driver, and will need to retain its street-ability and reliability. If I can save the comfort well then all the better. What is the difference between the HD/MED springs? Currently have 90k on the clock so I am due for a suspension upgrade. (slight sag in the rear)
SO as for my question, Which kit is best for what I am looking to have? I am realistic knowing this wont be a crawler or anything over the top. I am looking to dabble with some of the good trails. I currently do not have any problems with the ones i go on, however a friend got himself stuck in his stock suspension durango so that is what prompted me to look into a suspension lift.
I have read a lot of people like the EMU parts, and others with the AC parts. My question is I see so many people discussing what parts they put into their combos that I am not sure whats needed for me. I dont know of any offroad shops in my area as well its NY and only about 15miles from JFK Airport.
If I went with the EMU setup or AC setup, what parts would I need (including part numbers would be even better)? I will be doing this in my Garage so getting all of the parts would be important. I was reviewing the Rocky-road, davesport, Nisstec websites but no one seems to list out whats needed.
aside from the strut/spring/shock answer, what else is needed? I see people addding spacers, hubs, camber bolts, something with their sway bars and more.
** edit ** My tires are brand new (less than 500 mile) Geolander 255-65-16 and I tow an ATV trailer sometimes with my Polaris 700EFI on it.
Thank you to all for reading, and anyone for answering
