I agree! They are just looking to make a quick buck i pretty sure.

Ahh hahahahahahaha!!! when i was reading through this and saw 15k , i thought it was a typo...but then he said it again! what a joke! custom is the way to go, buy a magnaflow (my favorite), have a shop bend some pipe and make flanges to fit and your done! best bang for you buck

should be getting my wheels within the next week or two. then its the dreaded tire decision, haha. oh and i can tell that the front end has settled some, the rear not as much. before the front end was higher then the rear, but now it has the "raked" look.

this is a good post! nice info of price breakdown and comparison.

thanks for the pics tc. ill be working on this next weekend hopefully.

thanks for complementing on my lift. But please if you are going to talk about the SFD, please create a new topic or write in one that is refering to the SFD. I know you probably read through this post and may have got confused because it started off talking about the 2" lift then made its way to SFD questions then to wheels and tires...

believe it or not, try your local dealer. i was going to buy all my parts for my suspension from courtesy parts, but my local dealer was cheaper after shipping was added on. i know some will not agree with me, but its worth a shot

yah if you could post a pic thatd be great!

i would suggest a rubber grommet. With all the vibrating that goes on, that sharp metal edge will cut through your electrical tape and wires. I actually have to drill a hole in my firewall soon to run for my CB radio. Where exactly is the clutch plate, i mean if i pull back the carpet, will i know when i see it?

thats awesome! keep us updated

I got a combo of Hawk LTS pads and EBC slotted and dimpled rotors. This works great for me and has increased my stopping distance greatly. Had them on for 25K and still got a lot of pad left!

Your welcome. just thought i chime in with what little i know,

check your fuel filler tube. a while ago nissan had a recall about the fuel filler tube not having proper anti corrosive coating. the recall was issued due to salt eating away at the filler tube material. this is especially important to those located in the heavily salted states during the winter months. hope this helps. i got mine replaced for free and it only took about 30min. of course if its just during start up this might not be the case...unless when the system gets pressurized it emits the odor??

i had the same trouble when got my pathy 4 yrs ago. I got 1 o2 sensor replaced and did the reflash. I did haggle my dealer tho because i was having other issues, so i got parts at cost and free labor to install. Make sure you really need 2 o2 sensors and not just one. get factory o2 sensors, not aftermarket. do the reflash and be on your way .

i bought my pathy with 80k on it and made the switch to synthetic then. If anything i will help. Currently running Pennzoil Ultra. I change every 4500 miles. And if you know that the diff, transmission, and transfer case have never had a change, id look into that too.

If i have read correctly in other posts, Rick 13 is running 33's on 16" wheels on a SFD, but he talked about how he had to get a tire due to tire width and not what he liked. If you check earlier in this post he has 285/75/16 (measures 33x11.50x16). I think youd be able to fit a 33x11.5x15, but im pretty sure 33x12.5x15 wont fit.

Rick, no need to apologize. Ive read many topics on here where others have chimmed in asking a completely different question then what was posted originally. Earlier in my post i should have thrown in this emoticon --> haha Thanks for all you input on wheels and tires. now i only have to seriously decide on tires. but i got time to do plenty of research before choosing.

Thanks. Those were the only series online i could get with 3.75bs...haha. I am sure i could have special ordered a different series type, but i like this series the best!

well i ordered my new wheels a few days ago. Black steel ProComp Rock Crawler Series 87. Ordered from 4wheelparts.com...Was hoping to get them within 2 weeks but was told they are about 4-6 weeks out. I guess 3.75bs isnt popular so they still have to be made. Figured i'd wait and get the 3.75bs now instead of a 4bs or 4.25bs so in the future if i wanted to get bigger tires i can.

It gives me good ideas when others talk about their projects

Whats the status on the lift??? post pics!!

Thats how the numbers worked for me when i ran them. I am sure had I bought the lift package (check 4x4parts.com) I could have saved a couple hundred bucks. I believe there are different packages that range from $680 to $800ish...

ok ill start with the front and work to the back. Mind you i had my new struts put on 2 months ago, didnt think i was going to get the lift as soon as i did, otherwise i would have done it all at once. live and learn tho. Struts - $79.95 each Strut mounts, bearings, upper and lower seats - $220 (purchased from my local Nissan Dealer) 2" AC lift - $360 2 sets of camber alignment bolts - $60 ProComp ES 3000 shocks - $37.95 each Miscellaneous bolts, nuts, sleeves - $20 I installed the rear coils and shocks myself and took my pathy to my mechanic to install the fronts. Total Costs Parts - $895.80 Installation - $400 (It would have been just $200 had i done it all the first time, lol) Grand Total - $1295.80 (So you should be looking at somewhere around $1100) Thats only the lift. I just bought wheels and ill be getting tires soon. so that will be at least another $900

Ok thanks for all your advice. I actually just bought my 3.75bs procomp steelies tho, lol. I dont know if ill upgrade to 33's in the future or not, but only time will tell... i did see some steelies that had 2.5bs, but thought that was too much. im not a fan of spacers either...
