So if I were to get the AC ones, I would no longer need my spacers to get 2" of lift and the sagging would be greatly reduced?
-
Just to make sure I'm clear on everything, these are the AC coils you guys are talking about, right?

Yeah, he was directly over the axle. If OME is 200#, then that should be a lot better than what I have now.
-
It dropped an inch with my dad (200#)in the trunk.
-
It sits really nice when unloaded, it even had a half inch of rake before I leveled it with my lift. I'll find some weights/people and let you know.

I would say modify the wheels. I've heard of too many people having bad experiences with wheel spacers to recommend them.

Thanks for the help guys, now I know what I need to order!

@Rebelord
So your truck has OME coils in the rear? If that's the case, then I think that's what I'll get.
-
I think I get it now, but just to be sure:
Stock springs are weakest
Ones I linked to are strongest
OME springs would be in the middle
-
So if I want to keep with stuff designed for the R50 the ones I linked to are the best out there? How much firmer are they than stock?

I am looking for new rear coils for my 02 QX4. I notice that it sags fairly significantly (to the point where my lift disappears and beyond) when I load it up with gear for camping or when towing a relatively light trailer. I currently have fleury's 2" spacer lift installed which is great off-road and helps keep it off the bump-stops when loaded up, but it still squats. In my search for a better solution, the best I have found is these "medium duty coils".

I am hoping that something tougher exists, but I can't seem to find it. Also, does something more heavy duty exist that is also longer than stock? If I could get a firmer spring that also replaces my current spacers, that would be great.
If something Pathfinder-specific doesn't exist, are there other options? I was thinking that maybe WJ lift springs could be used. My thought process is this: a 4" SFD requires 3" lift springs in the rear, so maybe my 2" lift would work well with 1" WJ lift springs?

Those are some nice pictures! I really like how it's clearly night time but you've managed to illuminate everything so well. Good work!
-
It looks good! Isn't it funny how you say you won't modify it, then this site ruins that?
-
I really like what you did with the headliner! Just for future reference, what did you use for material?
-
I had the same situation as mickmutante. Is your alignment ok, because that could cause this.
-
Make sure to post your MPG improvement!
-
Now that I've had 2 alignments done, it finally drives straight. Now, without further adieu, before and after pictures!
Before:
After:
I'm pretty happy with the results myself! It sits almost exactly 2" higher all around, which is nice. I probably won't be doing many/any major mods to it for a while, but hopefully I'll have a few more things done by summer's end.

Cool, can't wait! Will the front bumper be winch-compatible?
-
This is very cool! I have a question: You list some products to come in the future (front/back bumpers, sliders), any idea when these will be released and how much they might cost?
-
Wow, lots of work getting done! I can't wait to see the upcoming changes.

I don't know how to solve your problem, but fore pictures there is a little symbol that you click when making a post. You will need the picture's URL, so it is helpful to upload the picture to a site like Photobucket. Good luck!

That's super cool! He's probably been eyeing the truck since day 1!

Nice work on the rear end. I would have expected to see the spacers stacked - but I guess that works also. I tried mine on the top, then moved the m to the bottom. Steve said they are fine either location (I did ask him once).
Nice spare... (I have the same one)
I decided to separate the spacers because I've heard it mentioned before that stacking spacers directly on top of one another could result in the spacer failing. I'm sure its fine enough either way, I just decided to do this. The spare is really nice, I wish all my tires matched it! The tires I have on right now do not have a very aggressive tread unfortunately...
-
Nice! Nothing like progress. But yeah, clean that stuff!
The most bell-like sounding thing in the rear that I can think of is the metal boot on the shocks.
That would make sense, except it was doing it at very slow speeds on perfectly flat ground; the suspension wasn't moving at all. I'm just going to have to take a close look later. And yes, I will clean it! It's 90°F right now though, so later.

That's a nice looking Pathfinder! What brand is the lift?
