:worthless: Come on, don't keep us in suspense! Pics of the install, if you have them, would be nice, too!

According to Rancho's documentation, you need the following parts for the Ranch lift: Two Rancho RS999790 QuickLift front coilover shocks at about $200-250 each. Two Rancho RS999312 RS9000XL rear shocks at about $100-125 each One pair Ranch RS70077 rear spacer blocks at about $65-90 per pair Optional: Rancho MyRide wireless shock adjustment controller to adjust shocks from inside your vehicle, if desired, at abround $250-300. Mikey: Did you gain any suspension travel? Have you done any off-roading since installing the kit??

Indeed, there is an OME lift for the R51. Several guys on thenissanpath.com have installed it successfully. The major obstacles are a.) fitting the springs on the coilover shocks and b.) getting the alignment within factory spec afterwards. Unfortunately, it seems people have only been getting between 1.5 and 1.75" of lift, which in my mind isn't enough to justify the effort and cost. As for the alternative, Calmini, that $1,600 is just for the drop-down parts; you're still looking at replacing the OEM springs and shocks when you're done. And I'm not sure I want to drive a 2005+ Pathfinder with 5" lift unless I widen the stance a bit. I am looking at putting together my own lift using Rancho shocks, OME springs and Total Chaos UCA's. I'm hoping to get 2-2.5" lift plus gain 2" travel front and rear for about the same price as the Calmini kit. My goal is to mount 33" tires, which in combination with the lift will give me a total of 4-4.5" elevation, 2" extra clearance and 2" extra wheel travel.

I need to add Skid Plates to by R51 2007 Pathfinder SE. I tried calling some local dealers to order the plates for a Pathfinder Off-Road, but so far they tell me they can't do it because my truck didn't come with them. I'm going to "negotiate" with the parts department at my dealer next week when I go in for service, but if anyone can supply me the Nissan part numbers for the following, I'd be very grateful. Rear-Engine Skidplate Transfer Case Skid Plate Gas Tank Skidplate Skid Plate Bolts Or, if you can point me at a website where I can order aftermarket skid plates, as long as they're not crazy expensive, I'll do that. Thanks in advance.
