I just heard you needed to have longer links or something because the rear sway bar gets out of whack. Sounds great tho!

Sounds great. In honesty I just like having all my homework done for it so I dont custom order something and explain it weird and they have no idea what I'm talking about. All of your details are VERY much appreciated.

You guys think Woodward is somewhat familiar with this request at this point? Or is it really uncommon?

Not sure if I just did the math wrong or something but when I first saw that post I thought they were pretty close to stock. Rethinking it, yeah they're a tad longer. Since we're all talking about brakes and shocks now, any suggestions on sway bar links?

Just to be sure, the spline of the shaft is not important in this situation? From what I can see, a 4" SFD contains: UA201113 - Upper U-Joint UA201108 - Lower U-Joint Custom UADS - Splined Shaft, 5.75" Besides assembling these parts together to make the link, is there anything else needed? Do the factory bolts work to put these together?

This was more than helpful!! If you have the pictures for the rest of the blocks, that sure would help. I'm working off of some pretty rough sketches like: While helpful, if you have "updated" pictures, they would be super great!

From what I found, the stock lines for the Pathfinder are 22.25" in total length. The lines for the D21, however, are only 17.25". The Rear brake hose though is longer than stock, with the D21 being 20.6", but the pathfinder at 16". The part number (Dorman) for the rear line is H380511, if you're curious.

Any clue what year on the D21? Just trying to be sure. The 97 one, right?

While planning to do my SFD fabrication, I cannot seem to find someone who will sell the finished 4" Strut Spacers (with the * degree angle for alignment). I assume KRFabs wants to sell things in complete packages, so I doubt they'll JUST sell spacers. If I were to make my own, does anyone know the measurements offhand? The image below is all I have from these forums, and it really doesn't help much. Really I just don't want to have to pull out my struts again to measure this, but if no one has any numbers, I guess that's what I'll do! Any numbers help! Thanks! (I'm using the stock struts from my 2001 Pathfinder LE)

Your shocks should limit them from being damaged or pulled too hard. I would look into the lines discussed earlier, and then start to do some looking at your own suspension. I would support the body of the vehicle, then just keep lifting it and see how far down the axle drops (for the rear), and start measuring how much play you have from there with your brake lines. To be fair, with stock brake lines, I was able to drop the axle about a couple inches to the ground (after disconnecting the shocks) to do my lift while jack stands held the body at the correct height. There's plenty of line for the rear, but lengthening it really helps add peace of mind!

Yeah, I still have stock shocks as well Ideally, I'm putting together all the parts I need to do the sfd, and when I finally have it all, I'll put it together. I was mostly curious about making sure the lines will be long enough, especially under flex. If you can find part numbers, I'll start comparing around. I appreciate it!

Wow, sounds great. I assume these will be plenty long enough. I'm not planning on doing anything more than 2-4" for the subframe.

I currently have a 2.5" lift in the front, 3" in the rear of my 2001 r50. I know if I'm going to do a sfd at some point, I need longer brake lines. Would it be appropriate to do them before the sfd regardless? If so, what is a good recommendation? I'm kinda looking for good value, because it's a bit of a slow, budget build. Anyone have good experiences with longer lines?
