That looks awesome
-
I suppose this may apply to a couple of my posts. Sorry this is my first forum site I've ever used. Ill limit my posts

That's the way to go. It doesn't need to be perfect

Thanks guys I was unsure if I liked the 18s at first but it's growing on me
-
Also I used some sort of hand held shaking tool, dremel related with a half moon bit, cut like butter.

First off I have a 4" Subframe Drop on my 2001 pathfinder, no AC coils. I have stock Titan Wheels with 295/70/R18 Tires, which are about 34.75" tall. I finally got the my steering fixed and rubbed right away. This is how Im running it right now until I can do some serious trimming. Also I am using 2" wheel spacers to clear the struts and to also fit the stock Titan wheel on my pathy.

Front Drivers side Rear, had to grind quite a bit of metal off the truck to clear

Rear
Front Passanger Side Bumper, I cut a slit so I could push the shroud forward
With all the shrouds I just drilled new wholes and shoved them as far as I could. Im sure Ill lose them eventually but it seems good for now.
After an alignment and tire balance, the rig seems to drive pretty damn nice, even with the two inch wheel spacers, now much shake at all and only a tiny growl. Im very happy with how it turned out, and sorry I didnt post this in the tire section, couldnt find it.

I just rented some from Autozone. you can keep them for 90 days and return them for a full refund.

Linkin park do you have a sfd with the ac coils or just the sfd?

I put it next to my car because its hard to get perspective without seeing it in person. It also looks like its leaning, thats because of my poor photography and crappy driveway. My steering extension is getting the splines cleaned out today!!

Thanks guys I really appreciate it. Once I fix the steering I will do a walk through on my trimming, Im not going to lie though I dont know how to work forums to save my life. It took me a while to figure out how to even post this and I still dont know if its in the right place. I will post some pictures tomorrow. I couldnt tell you how it handles yet since my steerings still out but I will get it soon ha, and if any of you guys go to do a subframe drop I have a few pointers and tips thatll help allthough the other members on here did a great job with their write ups, couldnt have done it without them.

No problem at all. its just the 4" sfd wj coils in the back and monotube f250 shocks from autozone. Nitto Trail Grapplers I believe for the tires. theyre 295/70/r18 like 34.75" I bought them used for $200. Then I bought the rims from some guy for 150 Titan rims i don't know anything about them except they barely clear the struts even with the 2" spacers. Ill let you know some more specs when I get home too my phones dying
-
They are Titan wheels. I just got 2" wheel spacers so the hub size didn't matter I needed the spacer to clear the struts anyway and I like the stance it gives me. Im a little worried about how it will ride with the spacers but I will have to wait and see

Well I am happy with how my pathfinder turned out, however I am fairly disappointed with KRFabs Customer Service.
I know Kryptons Warehouse is located in Canada and I live in the US, but the kit took a very long time to get here. There website quoted 5-10 days and it turned out to be nearly a month before I got the kit.
Most parts fit as they were suppose to. I had to grind one rear subframe block, and one spot on each strut spacer to get the bolts on.
I dont know how the steering linkage fits because I screwed mine up. I couldnt figure out why the splines on the steering rack didnt seem to fit the steering linkage, The steering extension also seemed very long. I later found out I was suppose to take off a knuckle on the steering rack, which I know is not there fault just me being an idiot. Now it is damaged and I am working on fixing it, it does however still seem to long.
There customer service consists of one email address that apparently leads nowhere. I emailed them multiple times and didn't get a single email back, and without a phone number its impossible to get any customer service
In the end I am happy that my rig is lifted and I shouldnt complain to much since KRFabs is the only place that makes a lift for it, however for nearly 700 dollars I expected a little more.
..Anyhow here is the finished product (only moves in a straight line, but its close)
When I do get the steering done I will definitely need to do quite a bit of trimming.

I few of these drawings are different now. I also have the strut spacers in .DXF so they can be plasma cut.

Also if the drawings will work out I will take a couple minutes and make the drawings for a 3" too

I am going to the metal fabricating place today and I am going to ask them what I need to do for them to print it out. Once I get it in the right format I will upload that file as well. I also made a few little changes, I am new to lift kits but I would really like to get the lift started. I am lifting it 4" in hopes to get 33" tires on it. 6.5 lift seems a little extreme though.

Well I believe you could just shorten it but I am not quite sure one of the other members on here did a 2.5 and he tries to explain it but I didnt quite understand him http://www.nissanpathfinders.net/forum/topic/31150-my-25-sfd/ Anyway Im not even sure if my measurement will work for a 4" lift thats just what I came up with when I measured and did research
