Hey guys,
quick summary of my situation:
I installed a 50mm (2”) lift kit on my Pathfinder, and now I’m running into issues with the CV axles. I’m currently in Australia on a gap year and planning a ~17,000 km trip, partly through very remote areas, so reliability is a big concern.
Right now I see two options:
1. Keep the 2” lift and replace the CV axles, maybe add manual hubs to reduce stress.
2. Switch back to ~1” front struts/springs to ease the CV angles. (still have the struts/springs)
Main question: is it too risky to keep the 50mm lift for a trip like this?
Anyone been in a similar spot? What worked better for you long-term?
Cheers!
