Wow interesting stuff man. It seems pretty basic anyway, and people are paying big bucks for it...im in the wrong business...like Phil is or was...pun intended.

But seriously, this has been covered. Use the search function, it is a great tool, although it does have some issues...

You could easily put 31x10.50's on your truck without a body lift, depending on the model and options it had from the factory. A buddy of mine has 33x12.50's on 4.25 backspaced wheels with a 3 inch body lift and cranked t-bars. He did trim the fenders out a bit, but it looks mean. As far as keeping the suspension stock, that is pretty much what we all have, just tweaked since there is no "Real" lift available, other than replacing UCA's and coil springs. Welcome to the forums, and good luck bro.

Hey I can relate. My old K5 trail rig had zero power steering...it was one of those good old military trucks...Long story short converted to a scrap yard system, and shortly after that went to 44 inchers, at which time it went hydraulic. The difference on the trails...was awesome. Power steering alone made it so much more enjoyable, and the hydro setup was freakin sweet. (caused me to have to brace up a bunch of stuff, and get "Real" beadlock wheels though.) Anyway...I am with the others...why would you not want it? If you were racing the truck on on a straight 1/4 mile..sure, remove everything.

I remember reading that post a little while ago, just could not recall the details. My bad. Thanks.

Okay, was under the impression by your avatar that it was a bad experience...but if they have changed their ways....

So factory 6 cylinder XJ springs offer not lift to the rear correct? I have a set or two of those behind my shed...

Okay... (yes I have searched.) Where is everyone getting their updated CL's from? I have the equipment and skill to fab a tough CL up if I had the info on what to do. Obviously Red, I wont buy from L & P.

I agree with Grim. I did a Taurus swap, and man it really opened up the room...love the build pics by the way...keep it comin.

Yep. No reply as of yet...will advise.

Was thinking about fabbing one up, but hey if it is not needed for under 4 inches...then word.

Awesome. Am searching junk/scrap yards for XJ springs...just about have all the parts I need to do the suspension lift...anyone have any issues with steering being weaker after doing the lift?

I had an old trailmaster 5 inch lift that I pulled of a 1996 S10 blazer lying around. I shoulda just bolted the stuff on and used blazer A arms...that woulda been different. Well, not exactly bolt on...a lot of custom fab would have to go into play...and more work than it would be worth...a SAS would be far superior... Sorry, am rambling on my lunch.

They make a console insert for mine, waterproof dual cup holder...but man it is high dollar. Dang gov't sales people...geesh. Though about just tap screwing some cheap plastic ones onto the console until I feel like coughing up the coin for the real deal... And your right, the window mount ones whistle...(but my truck leaks air from everywhere anyway.) It would just fill a space like the ones for the radio's...pretty clean and cool looking design, just not in the budget.

I have been seriously considering buying some of the Mastercraft Courser AT/2 tires. The 31/10.50's are a bit more than the P265/75/R15 but you are getting a 6 ply tire over a 4. Same tread pattern, and wear life expectancy. I have also been told that 4 ply tires ride better as well. Whatever that means, not like it matters in a 20 year old truck... I have had great experience with the TSL LTB tires. They offer a 9.50 width, which is great for small vics like ours. ProComp makes AWESOME tires, they are m ore money, but they last forever it seems. The last set of MT's I had were ProComp and they literally had what seemed like the tread from when they were new to the day I sold the vehicle 3.5 years later. I am no expert, so someone chime in...what is the difference in a 4 ply 265 tire, over a 6 ply 31/10.50 tire?

Nothing about price/quantity required for order though. Interesting bit of information however. I emailed them, and inquired...

That is a good question. I was wondering the same thing...and it hasn't been a really clear issue... CV axle angle, and steering geometry...

Yendor, how did they turn out? It has been a month or so since your post, have you gotten your lift finished? Give us some info brother, fill us in with the cheese whiz!!

ahardbody, I think we have all been there brother...life goes on...and someone else is enjoying the fruit of your labor...

Mine is a beige, or light brown, goldish color...not too bad, as it can go a while without being washed...(although I prefer it clean...)

Daver123 PM sent if you still have the calminis...

Interesting...I have done rear mains with the tranny out and engine in, but not on a pathfinder, or a Nissan for that matter. I would feel more comfortable pulling the motor and running through it anyways. Chiltons makes reference to dropping front suspension components as well, wonder why, especially if you dont have to.

Athough that should not change anything...by much. Power options? Does it have all the bells and whistles of that time?

Just went outside and looked, mine does not have it...then saw that your truck is a 93. My bad.
