Stock was 15" I ordered one for measurement before I ordered mine.

I got mine from a local hot-rod shop that does custom bodies, etc... Just told them a length I needed, they ordered it no problem, had it in 2 days. I've heard 30" is what people are using, I ordered 27", but haven't installed it yet.

Holly crap... They want $214 for the wheels, then $332 extra to ship them to me. Then I'd probably have to pay duty etc.. when they came across the border. The shipping is more than the wheels..... lol.

I know of a dealer that put GL-5 fluid in a transmission, it blew up, the owner took the dealer to small claims court. The dealer lost. The FSM clearly says GL-4 is to be used, not GL-5.

why don't you just get something like this:

I don't have any experience with magnaflow, but I used to run twin 2 chamber flowmaster mufflers on my 5.0L mustang. I loved them. Extremely loud on the outside behind the car, but almost whisper quiet inside the car. I had cheaper "super turbo" mufflers on it before and you couldn't hear yourself think in the car on the highway. With the flowmasters you could talk in a normal voice.

Do not put GL-5 oil in the transmissions. That's for the diff's. If you can't find 75w90, try 80w90, it's more common, but make sure it's gl-4.

use a strong pressure washer to strip it off. If it's peeling off, don't spend time worrying about stopping it. It wasn't applied properly in the first place. Every time you get a stone chip it will peel. Better if you want to fix it, to strip down as much as you can and get a body shop to properly prep the color coat and respray a clear coat.

It depends on if you are willing to hack up your fenders or not. You can probably stuff 34's in there with some modification, but if you don't want to take a sawsall to your truck, you better stick with 155/80R13's.

lol The distance between the lower spring pocket on the strut and the spindle mount is fixed. It will never change. If the tire clears the strut at normal height, it will be the exact same distance at all times during front suspension travel.

Compressed air at low PSI into line will push the dirt through.

Picked up my steel today... Almost ready....

THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID!

The 33's I have aren't mounted, too much work at the moment to bother mounting them till I'm ready. I got my rear brake line today, steel should be ready this week. Shocks are 24 hours away when I'm ready to order them.

Were the spacers required because of the 35"'s?? I'm planning on running 33's for now, do you think they'll fit? How close was it.

With the way the MOT is around my towns, I'd rather have it at least have the dot stamp on it. They're pulling plates for e-brakes not working, cracked windshields, everything they can get their hands on. One of my tech's drives a 1993 D21 pickup. The thing looks like a rust bucket, but he keeps it in tip-top mechanical shape. He got pulled over and they escorted him to an inspection station and spent forever just TRYING to find something wrong with his truck...

Ok, I've got my head around the blocks... Now I'm onto the brake line.. I was at my local speed shop this afternoon, and according to their book, 30" braided brake line IS avaialable, but is NOT D.O.T. approved. The longest dot approved line was 27". Just wondering if anyone who put the 30" lines on is aware of this, (or maybe it was only applicable to their cataloge) I ordered the 27", for the $40 bucks, I can always change it if I need to.

I've got thick rubber ones for a Murano in mine.. Fit almost 100%. although, they say murano instead of pathfinder....

Ok, well that's where the confusion is, because I got the impression that everyone was talking about a 4" SFD, not a 3.5". Then the spacers listed at 3" + 2x 1/4 in plate top and bottom would also = 3.5" and everything then add's up. If someone compiles this thread into more of a "how to" sticky, rather than an "information" sticky, we should try to clairify the differences. Rod's lift at 4" seems to have worked out ok for him, so I'll stick with the 2x4" steel I've ordered, instead of calling my steel supplier and changing my order for a 2nd time.

Ok, so by what I understand, the measurements listed in the pictures on page 5 are wrong.. They show the subframe spacers as 2.5" underneath the pics and 63.5mm in the pictures. From what I understand, they are supposed to be 2"W x 4"H x 6"L (or 50.8mm W x 101.6mm H) So this also throws all the measurements for the bolt holes out of wack. Also, the 4" OD tube for th subframe spacers should be cut at 3.5", with a 1/4" top and bottom plate, that would make it 4" overall height.

Ok, tried to order some steel today, and got confused on 2 things. The pic/specs of the blocks in the first couple of pages show the blocks as 2.5" x 6".. There's a measurement missing, so I assume that for a 4" SFD that it would be 4" My steel guy says there's no such thing as 2.5" x 4" steel, just 2.5" x 3.5" or 3" x 4", so I ordered the 3"x4". Also, Rod, the pics you sent me show the upper strut spacers as 3" high, but the SFD spacers are 4" is that correct? I would have thought the strut spacers should be 4" as well.

Well, at least I have a good excuse to do the SFD now, rather than later.. No reason to pull it apart to change the strut mount just to have to pull it back apart again... Collecting some parts monday....

I think I found the problem... upper strut mount:

Nice.. so she lives!
