    I’m tuned to this thread in hoping you find your answer because I’ll find myself in the same predicament soon using this exact setup. From my forums research, looks like the smallest spacer on the market for the front is 1”. This can lead to cv axles being damaged when you top out, but a lot of members seem to be adding the front 1” spacer anyway to level out the rake with the 9447 rear springs.

    I’ve read some members using a 1/2” spacer up front to level out the rake while maintaining a safer height for cv axels versus the 1” spacer, but I can’t seem to find who sells 1/2” spacers, so they might be custom made. 

    I’ve also read some members even cut a coil on the 9447 to level it out, but that’s a different story. 

     

    I have 1/2 spacers for sale if anyone is interested. Replaced them with the 1in spacers on top of 2in AC springs to get as close as I can level with the rear. I'm running 9449 coils.

    Lift kit measurements r50 help!!

    Hey y'all I just installed a lift on my wife's 2000 Pathfinder. I did a lot of research before hand so I went with 9449 springs in the rear with Bilstein shocks and in the front KYB struts with AC 2in lift coils and there 1/2 in spacers, as they claim it'll raise it another inch. Well I'm very happy with the back and we gained about 4-4¹/² inches. Her old suspension was really worn out and in the front I only gained like 3. But I see YouTube people getting that with AC springs anyways. Right now I'm running stock worn down tires measuring 29in but from bottom on wheel well and ground i only measure 34 in. And on passenger side is 34¹/⁴ - 34¹/². In the front. Does that seem too low? I want to get another inch out of the front, we are running WARN disconnects up front but our CV angles arnt bad. What do y'all get for measurements up front from group to bottom of wheel fender. I'm running 255/65/16 but will upgrade to 265/75/16 with 2in wheel spacers. I might call and get a 1in spacer instead of the 1/2 I spacer. Or is everyone getting around the same measurements?

    Has anyone out there tried or is running 2.5 spacers over stock or brand new springs in the front??? Wife wants more of 2.5 spacers and run 32 in tires with trimming, if I have to. I have a dakota and people said the same thing about my front end and said it's impossible and I have em on and been running for 6 months with em no issues, knock knock on wood. I was thinking 2.5 front and rear as we will be carrying cargo and extra people so she wants it a little higher I the back.

    Hey y'all new to this channel me and my wife just inherited a 2000 Pathfinder SE. We live at the beach as well as would like to go trail riding new times a year, so I am a mechanic as a full-time job and I have done a few lift kits in my life, I know about CV axle angles and how much of a pain it is to replace them and wear and tear etc. It's my wife's car and it's only going to be our off-road vehicle as I do have a Jeep, so what is the maximum spacer lift you guys recommended for the front and rear as we're looking to either level look or raking AKA nose diving an inch or less. We only live about a mile from the beach so on weekends we might put 8 Miles maximum on it. We live in the southern eastern part of North Carolina so are summers are very long and we will be taking it out probably twice three times a month on weekends. I don't care if I have to do some work by the end of the year on my CV axles or anything in the front suspension but I would like to at least have it last us a year so and not run into problems so I did a little bit of research and I found that maybe two inch is the maximum I can go but I was hoping I could do a two and a half inch spacer lift. Any and all input please like I said I'm a mechanic so I can do most if not all the work.
