This measurement is not a way to tell how much body lift you have. Biggest factor are tires (size, pressure). Hub center to trim is better for this.

Great point. Thanks for the tip.

How do you feel about the ome springs vs the AC springs. Everything else I'm settled on but the springs themselves I'm not sure where the best place to get them is from or which would be best. To be completely honest this is my daily driver so it's gonna be on pavement or dirt roads 90% of the time and off road around here is mainly sand and mud.

Hey, I just installed the OME ones and I didn't get the results I was looking for as far as lift. They feel great but max maybe 0.75" lift in the front. I'm ordering the AC coils and swapping them out.

I'll be getting rid of the OME by ARB 2928 coils I got because of that. If you decide to do those, I'd be happy to sell you mine.

Nevermind sorry I just realized this was from months ago.

Sorry to hear about the hubs, I’ve only heard good things about them so far but I ended up going for the Warn hubs so no personal experience with the RRs

 

Hey I was wondering about the warn hubs. Some local shops said if warn fits definitely go for that. The price will be worth it offroad apparently. Which models did you use? Any tips for them? They're next on my list.

I like the sounds of that. I read a bit of your last post and those AC coils look promising. How long did it take for yours to be delivered?

Also, what height does your body sit at now? I'm currently at 36" ground to trim in the back. 34" in the front.

Hey guys,

I'm new to the forum so I'm still getting used to everything here. I don't think I'm violating any guidelines but please let me know if I'm not using proper etiquette. Stoked there's a central location for everything pathfinder related, love it!

 

I recently did a lift on my 03 R50 and I didn't quite get the results I was looking for. I have a massive rake (2" difference) so I think I purchased the wrong springs for my struts. I'm thinking I didn't do enough research...bleh

 

Upgrades include:

NRC9447 rear coils, Bilstein B8 5125 rear shocks, OME ARB 2928 front coils, stock strut shocks.

 

I was under the impression that the ARB coils would add 2" to the front but it's only looking like .5-.75" maybe. Cost me $260 CAD too. I assembled the struts myself too so I'm kinda bummed all that effort was for naught. Does anyone have any experience buying the wrong parts? Can I salvage some of the cost on these if I have to change out the front springs?

 

Any advice on what I can do to correct this rake? I'd prefer to not use spacers on the front (to protect the cv's). Switch out the ARBs for the ACs?

 

Thanks in advance!

Nice rig! I have a silver one too with the black rims, just added lift and now I'm looking at replacing the tires. What do you have on yoirs?
