Thinking about it a little more I guess we do slightly more than "normal" off road (whatever that means lol).
Maybe they just can't take the beating. The 5100s are low end shocks after all.
Perhaps I'll see if my guy can jam stronger bushings in on both sides and see how that holds.
Next step might be better shocks?
Let me know what makes and models you guys are using with the LR springs (aside from 5100s).
Thanks, Tom

Thanks for the quick reply mate! Think it was just something weird / anomaly?
Not the end of the world if I need diff / better shocks.
Maybe I'll ask if he can just do that and see if it hold?
Appreciate your advise!

Hi Guys, I dropped these in to go with my LR springs in the back last summer.
They fit upside down and all was good. Took the rig on Whipsaw trail etc as per my previous posts.
I had a clunking in the rear right for a while now which was getting worse so I got around to getting it checked out.
My mechanic says the (what is now) bottom bushing on the shock is blown out. The other side seems fine.
When trying to warranty to shock they told him to bugger off as they are not for my '99 pathfinder. haha
What are your thoughts? Did I get the wrong shocks for the LR Spring mod?
My mechanic says he's never really seem bushing blow like that and whats to know what to do.
Any other shock suggestions to go with the LR Spring mod, or try these again and hope it was an anomaly?
Much obliged,
Tom

So not to derail this thread, but are snorks worth it on the R50?
I can't see myself going over the hood in water, but better performance than stock intake?

Many chance you can fix your pics? I’ve never made it out to that trail but I’d love to take a look. How built up is your pathy?
@!*% sorry mates didn't realize I'm an idiot. Should be fixed now see above.
Pathy is 31" KO2s, KYB / AC Springs in the front, and Bilstein 5100s / LR Springs in the back. Nothing crazy.
Lots got stuck here

Successfully completed the Whipsaw trail on Canada Day Long Weekend.
Land Cruisers, Tacos, 4Runners, and Jeeps getting stuck but not Pathfinder.
Any Idea why the site says " You can only upload a total of 0MB."? How do I contact the admin?
Thanks, Tomek
EDIT - attempt off dropbox. Hope it's not too many pic for you guys! Sticking to just the Pathy ;)_ Hope you dig! I know we had a blast.
If anyone of you want to make it up to BC and have a rip at it, hit me up!

I have finally got all my parts together and wanted to ask if with this setup did you have to extend your brake lines? I want to make sure that I have everything I need before I put it all on since this is my daily.
Thanks
No I did not extend them.
PS - I did not need the camber bolts either (which cost me a fortune),
so I anyone wants to buy the 4, I'll give you a good deal.
Cheers

Hi Guys, long time lurker first time poster.
Thanks for this great thread, saved me a ton over OME kit!
I just put in the AC springs, and KYB Struts in the front,
and NRC9447 springs, and Bilseine 5100's in the back.
Gained 3.75" in the back and 2" in the front.
Wish we had an alternative for the front spings!
AC cost me a bit over $400CND when all was said and done.
Anyways, worth it! Thanks for the great discovery OP!

Looks great!
One concern I have is that at times they blind me with on coming traffic.
Is that because people don't install them correctly and they point up too much?
Are there any laws in regard to angles and brightness?
Just curious....
Thanks, Tomek

Thanks for the details helps me out as I'm a little worried about mine '99.
Cheers

Just curious did you experience a hard shift (from 1st to 2nd) before it completely failed?
Thanks

Looks Awesome!
Being that I live in Canada, shipping would be a bitch, so I'd be down for buying the templates off ya!
Cheers.
Prob w/ Bilstein 5125 33-185552 + LR 9447 Spring Mod
in 96-2004 R50 Pathfinders
Posted
Got me thinking... (dangerous I know) ..
Maybe the 5125 33-185552 are too short and I should should get the 5165 25-187717 to go with the 9447 springs?
Or even worse replace the bushings in the 33-185552 and cut the springs one inch (ducking).
(that would help with the rake I have too)
