wondering if JKS makes a rear track bar that will fit
-
I figured as much, I have more then 2" of lift today, LOL. Makes them 30" tires look tiny
-
Nice! So jealous right now! I would kill to have an uninterrupted garage day, but with an 18 month old and wife (6 months pregnant), dog, 2 jobs and house, that won't be happening anytime soon.
Been meaning to ask you, does your 99 have a sunroof? I've been thinking about contacting you on cl and taking the ride out to check it out. I've become very fond of having a sunroof (on both my 96&01) I know I'd really miss it if I didn't have one anymore.
No sun roof on the 99

And so it happened today, its all done, ...kinda
Stock bits
My favorite toy, 6 yrs old and still kickin
So first came pulling the hubs, c clip and all that, and don't forget those 2 screws
Eveything came off fairly easily, pulled the strut, made pulling the short shaft a breeze.
cleaned and regreased everything, all in good knick
I installed axle, and then installed the warn hub so I could lock the axle, which made torqueing the axle easier
Axle done, hub done, Strut assembly, went in, brakes went on, Used 2 camber bolts per side, was able to get it close. going in for alignment on Monday.
The rear took what felt like 5 minutes compared to the front. Unbolt swaybar, track ba,r.take diff breather hose off, pull shocks and drop axle, plenty of room to install springs with out a fuss
Picks and measurments of completed in a couple days, waiting for a little settling.

Any aftermarket track bars or brackets to put rear axle back center after lift?
-

Read that you are looking into better brakes?
I just installed this kit. Along with cleaning the rear drum hardware and adjusting the rear brakes. Let me tell you, 100% better! I can actually hit the brakes hard enough to engage the ABS on dry pavement. Never could do that before, and sudden slow downs on the highway were always scary about actually stopping in time. No longer worry about that. Heck, the first time my wife drove the truck to take me son to school. She hit the brakes she normally would and my sons cheerios went flying all over. Easy to do, and very impressed with the brakes.
Kit: http://www.powerstop.com/product/power-stop-z36-kit/#y=1998&mk=NISSAN&mo=PATHFINDER
Yuppers,
Been using their products for years.
went with this one from Brake performance.
-
IMO a build thread is just that, showing what mods and work you are doing to your rig, for others to see and maybe reference. I cant find the "members Rides"
Found it, its outside the R50 area.
Ok I can post there, can someone delete this here?

level 8 guardians, 16" 3.5" neg backset 255/70/r16 yes lift on the silver one

So far, I have just ordered parts, I have done the audio and blue tooth, Cleaned up the outside which included removing and painting plastic bits that were faded. mirrors, wiper arm, windshield cowl, rear window vents.
I have ordered my Warn Hubs, AC 2" lift, slotted and dimpled front rotors.
Have mounted roof basket with kayak rack and bike rack. Also removed all the badges in the rear
I will document all work with a few picks.
-
agreed, I jacked up a trail blazer and sent pics to GM and told them the same thing
-
k9sar, thanks. yes my garage is massive, purpose built. especially with the wide stairs down to the basement
a btter perspective of it
-
yes, In the jeep world we tend to stay away fron manual. again with the shifting in slop sucks. but out in Nevada where I am going, im hopeing its a bit different. or should I swap it to autotragic
Oh and Level8 Guardians. going with the same wheel in the black too
-
Hoping to do some prevention on that front, including moving to the desert, lol
yes on the steal part, thata why I just went for it. a wholesaler had it. Got very lucky. going with the AC 2"
-
Wait a second! You're the guy with that Pathfinder listed on cl?! Been kicking the idea around of giving you a call, but I have to wait til my Titan sells to have any funds to put into yet another r50. What lift are you running in the one for sale? How far gone is the "frame"? Crazy that you're only about a half hr away from me (without the weekend traffic anyway).
Frame is still solid, running 4x4 design spacers, pm me email and I can send pics of under body.
-
If you need more info on the spacer lift , have a look at my lift comparison page : http://4x4design.com/r50-lift-kit.php
I can also answer questions here.
Cheers.
S.
your spacers on this one
-
I have the spacers on the 99, was just looking for input from people on the different lifts, I went with the AC 2" delux with bilstiens and GR2's
Wasn't looking for spacing or any math, just folks's feelings on it.
-
checked the thread, a lot of wheel talk, got the wheels, looking for current info on the 2 lifts specificly
-
Thanks, info on peoples experiences with the lifts aren't current. just looking for the feedback, I have my wheels sussed out, not my lift. thanks again for your input. verty valued
