Used Steeve from Rugged Rocks for my rear OME springs. His customer service was superb, and even helped me buy literally the last R50 springs in stock on the West Coast, with extremely cheap shipping (might've even been free) even. I can't give enough props to this guy, highly recommended.
RockyRoad on the other hand seems to be hit and miss.

I know what I want for xmas.
Honestly I couldn't care less about brand mixing in this case, a good motor is a good motor. Was it me or did anyone notice it didn't really seem to be shifting? Was the guy just running around in 1st the whole time?
-
I'm wondering, how does it ride on those 20s? Seems like most cars that were designed for smaller diameter wheels seem to be really flinty with the low-pros.

I believe you can fit a 245/75r16 in the stock under-the-loadfloor location. This is according to Stioc, he said there was minimal modification, but I'm planning on testing this myself.
-
No hate here either, I'm a mopar guy myself; hope it works out for you.

You can get extended SS brake lines online, but as far as the shocks, I believe the sway bar would be the limiting factor before you hyper-extend your shocks. Don't quote me on that for your rig specifically, but I know that's how mine works.

Assuming you have the 3.3, I would suggest regearing. If it's already bad, it's only going to get worse.

It did come with it stock, just the guy I bought it off of said he took it off because it was a hassle? Lol , all the bolts are still inside it I just need the carrier. Want to make sure it fits before I spend the money
Oh then that shouldn't be an issue, Theexbrit did the same thing. As long as the factory put it there, no matter who took it off after the fact, it should still work haha.

Unless yours came with one from the factory; no. There's not enough support put into the taillight area if it didn't come with one stock.

The above comments are spot-on. I would say to make it easier on yourself, buy the split-design bushings. They make installation a snap. I just did these on mine, with MOOG replacements.

That's true, well I wasn't billed for new struts, and when I replaced my front stabilizer bar bushings, I definitely saw that my struts were still in place. Every nut and bolt I touched when installing my lift myself was still there, and seemingly correctly applied.
The fool did replace the lower control arms (stupid, lazy move on his part, claiming the bushings were too hard to remove), but to give him the benefit of the doubt, the crunching noise was present before I took it to his little shop of horrors.... The thing with the struts is that they're less than 30k old, and show no signs of failure. When I put in my lift springs and spacers, a new strut bearing was put in, and the strut mount itself seemed fine.

When no matter how many times it hurts you, you swear at it, get frustrated by a problem, or pour money into a seemingly endless pit, it's still your pathfinder.

Well that's the thing, with the front end jacked up, the most play is about 2 millimeters at most, it's so minimal I don't expect them to be the culprit. Instead there seems to be something which pops while going around turns at full lock, coming from the front passenger area. This is accompanied by a distinct crunch while going over speed bumps.
A lot of the suggestions on here didn't seem yet applicable, so I'm really at a loss.... pulling my hair out every time I drive it.

Double post *cough*

So I replaced the sway bar bushings, to no difference, and had a wheel balance done just for sh**s- fixed the majority of the wobble. Yet there still remains the creak when going over bumps, and a slight wobble round 60 mph... again, going to do the front bearings when I have time.
-
That's a dream of mine, but I think that would be fantastic tech for my area, where dust is the biggest issue. I wonder too about how it reacts to scratching or hard water... Cool either way.

When your friends like yours so much they buy their own!
Even talked my friend into a Frontier this way

That's why you've got to bob and weave, warms up the tires
-
Interesting, so I guess they widened the track as well, on top of wider tires and fender flares... Weird. I wonder if it translates to any handling difference.

When your pathy has a higher quality interior than said Titan, in 2002....

Cameras can be hidden pretty well... You can also wire up an electric shocker to the door handle, figure a way to work with the alarm/door locks.

Set up a camera on your garage, or wherever it's parked, with a DVR. You can buy a set of 4 at Costco pretty cheaply. My parents have one and works great- night vision, color, sound, HD, and I believe it records a month before it deletes it.

Hah! Try a VG30 WD21! You know nothing...

That would mean a lot of near-death experiences here, mine gets out of it's own way, but when it's at 5k or above there's not much thrust.
Got a 01 in the shop yesterday

Wow what a mess, think it was burning oil like a lot of VQs?
