Do what you want, me and @02_pathy are on NRC 9449’s
I hope that didn’t come off smartass. I was literally asking. Is two inches of lift enough to be able to take advantage of the benefits of the 29 inch bilsteins? I’m trying to make the best of what I can with this Q being that it’s only 2wd. She’s been pretty capable already all things considered. For the short term due to budget constraints I was thinking about going with the f250 kyb gr2s....but I’d also like to know what my best options are here. I haven’t seen too many people build out 2wds

Check the part no. on my profile for some 29.7” bilsteins, General consensus when running anything over the standard 26” F250 2” lift shocks is to add extended brake lines and depending on the compression length of the shock, extended bumpstops. And extend the diff breather. Other than the bilsteins that I have, along with Alex and Micah, you’re gonna have to do your own legwork
Is a two inch lift enough to necessitate the bilsteins?

Oh ya....I made me a missing link too

1 inch wheel spacers would be fine. I’d get hub rings as well since most of those spacers are 108mm and our hubs are 100mm

If you’re gonna get longer shocks, go as big as you can. You’re 2WD, so you need as much articulation in the rear as possible. Even on my 29.7” shocks I probably still have another 2” I could get out of my suspension. I still flex out of traction on trails as is.
Good call! Got any recommendations?

I'm interested to see what you came up with for a tablet mount. I was thinking about the same thing...there's not a ton of room if you have a front seat passenger.
I mounted my Bluetooth stereo head unit back inside of the dash and made a plate to put in the hole where the radio should have gone and I mounted the tablet to it.

We would love to see a photo of the work you've done to your qx4! Maybe next time I am back in town hawairish and I can stop by to take a look at it.
well....here’s the most recent. Just put a two inch lift on her. I’ve replaced all 4 o2 sensors, all new stereo, new high flow exhaust, cold air intake, replaced all fluids, all new coil packs, loctite the powervalves while replacing valve cover gaskets, new filters all around, new spark plugs, new sway bar links and bushings, new maf, adjusted tps, bypassed throttle body coolant lines, installed a Bluetooth obd dongle and mounted a tablet to monitor. Deleted the rear spoiler. Removed the side steps and the roof rack rails. Built a new grounding harness to get rid of some persistent o2 codes and probably a few other things I can’t remember. Next step is tires and wheels and new struts and shocks. Probably gonna go with f250 shocks

I really dig that rear bumper man. Sits nice and flush
-
That looks great man! Don’t know that this qualifies as a mild build anymore though lol
-
For sure man. Hawaiirish and a couple of other guys are around here too. I’ve done quite a bit of wrenching on my r50 since buying it. Any issues with yours currently?
-
Nice to see you on here. I’ve got an 01 Q and I’m in surprise AZ. Hit me up if you need any help with anything

Amazon has great camber bolts for 19 bucks a pair. I just ordered these ones https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000CB7564?ref=ppx_pt2_mob_b_prod_image

Sfcreation.com is the best place for spacers, but like mjotrainbrain said, they won’t help to clear the strut. You’ll need wheel spacers or wheels with proper backspacing for that. As long as your not hitting the strut though you’ll be fine
-
Jwt makes some pretty sweet cams as well. Supposedly they’re one of the biggest bang for the buck mods. Headers would help and aren’t too pricey. Then exhaust and a snorkel to let her breathe

If I remember right you just need the vg30 cams and the crank pulleys. Maybe someone else can chime in if they’re aware
-
And you wouldn’t need one for a 2x4. I can lift to my hearts content lol

Yep...meant missing link. Not sure how I typed sfd lol
-
Euro cams are even better if you can find them
-
Vg30 cam swap
-
I made my sfd out of a 3 ft piece of half of 3/4 inch angle iron from Home Depot. Think it cost me like 9 bucks or something

Ah I didn’t realize it was a wd21

Why mount the inverter to the headliner? The little cubby on the back passenger side would be a good place for it
