Dude then Im glad that I got to you before you got a job :tonguefinger: Keep up the work and let me know what your doin with those sliderz

HAHA not to interrupt yalls conversation or anything but I was wandering around on 4x4parts the other day and noticed that there is a 3 inch body lift aviable through them. Just thought I might share

Sorry cant help you but, LOL dude how do you loose something like that

Oh yeah Alex (nissandoms) told me that its basically bolting in some blocks and welding them in place just for a little extra security. As far as tools, just a floor jack and jack stands and a socket set and perhaps a few buddies- oh and a welder lol. Im not worried at all, alex said that he would include instructions as to how to install it with pics- he has been more then accomadating throughout this process, and become a real friend too! -Andrew

HAHA I already talked to you lol. But anyways, I live in Denton like 20 minutes from DFW Airport, but im doing my lift at a friends house in Mansfield. I dont know if you know where that is, but my parents bought a house in San Diego recently and im going home for winter break and then the house is going on rent so I will be living in Cali...Sorry But... I do go to college in Nachadoches at Stephen F Austin. Im a freshman

I really dont think that it will woind up being all that you are working it up to be. Really im going to to the whole lift at a friends house in one weekend. The suspension lift on one day, and the sub frame on the other. Talk to Nissandoms- he is making the kit for me, so all i have to do it basically bolt it in, but it is a 4 inch drop lift. I believe alex said that the smallest he can go is 3.5 inches with out causing steering problems. Also along with the lift new wheels and tires are going on along with manual hubs. I dont think that it will really be that bad -Andrew

Yeah for sure it is not going to be anymore cost effective at all to get another truck and mod that. If anything I imagine that you would lose money. I mean im getting a 6 inch lift for a fraction of what it cost my friend to lift his chevy 6 inches. To me this is a dream come true to do this to a Pathfinder- I love my baby

LOL the great one has spoken

No Im getting my lift done by another member, Its a 4 inch subframe lift with a 2 inch suspension for a total of 6 inches of lift, allowing for 33 inch tires. PM me if you want contact info for the member thats making the lift. And im going to post the install so yall can see how it works out, Ill happily be the Guinea Pig lol

Well there are going to be plenty of pics I can promise that. The lift is going on then its going on a wheeling trip with some friends with full size Chevys some SAS'd at a private off road park that was rented out for the weekend And even if you get a smaller lift, Its still going to cost about the same

Im going to be putting on a 4 inch subframe drop this winter break, I will let yall know how it turns out. And I always thought that everyone just wanted to go higher. I mean thats what I want at least. Everything is bigger in TEXAS after all :tonguefinger:

Okay guys i got the consent from the builder to release his info, but there is a catch you have to identify who it is by looking at this picture and sending him a PM, he will build you a subframe drop. If you know who it is dont reply on this thread with his name it will ruin the fun!!! Good luck

Thats pretty clean man, and I love the ARB bullbar And you have the 3.5 right? Cause I get about 16 right now with everything stock lol, If I didnt want bad fuel economy then I would not get a lift or 33's but I do! To me its worth the sacrafice

Nope not from Tyler, i will let yall know if he wants me to spread the word

LOL, spread the lift yeah I dont know once its installed I will see about that, I dont know if he wants to or not. Time will Tell

True that I pretty much fainted when I saw the pics and Video of his Beast! Anyways yeah I have some connections for the lift, I sent the money today to get it and should have it within two weeks or so, and am going to make a video/slideshow about the install, and will post it when the lift is completed. And about the tire size true that I could fit up tp 35's but they are much more expensive, and me being a college student, I have like next to no money lol, so yeah and Less modifications with the wheel wells

Thanks for all the advise everyone, though since David got the same wheels Im getting and he's got the same year pathy I just got the same wheesl- hey there cheap cant go wrong lol. Anyways I ordered them and a set of 33 inch BFG KM2's today so its all good they will go on as soon as the lift is done this christmas break! Cant Wait

Awesome then these wheels are a go for me too!, except for the rubbing part lol

Im buying a lift soon, and I was wondering if the strut tower mount that they sell on 4x4parts.com the ones that are having the problems, if so where do i find the OE mounts? The pathy has about 90k on it without them being replaced, also what shocks and stuts are better, bilstein or rancho? -Andrew

Thats a good idea you have there david, just heat the plastic enough so that it bends, I would have just cut it out lol And let me know how it goes with the wheels, Im looking at getting them in december, when I get my 6 inch lift, but im going to get 33 inch km2's due to the subframe drop :tonguefinger: Its gonna be sweet Oh and PICS!!!

Thats good to hear, now I have ammo to shot at the guy when I go back lol And David, when you say rubbing you mean with the tires right? Not the wheels themselves.

That would be mucho appreciated, since I was looking into getting the same exact rims!, and your rig is the same year, its like our two pathys will be twins lol And put up pics!!, I bet everyone would love to see how they look

Thanks for the advise, espically how he may be trying to get me to buy a more expensive wheel- (Cheap Punk) lol I think that i might just go there and ask then to try and fit a 15 inch wheel on it, if they wont then i will just go somehwere else like 4 Wheel Parts or something, which im sure will be more supportive then Discount Tire

So, I went to Discount Tire the other day to inquire on some new wheels and tires. I was talking to the guy there and we got into the discussion of wheel size. He asked what size wheels I have right now, and I said 16's- (01 LE double tri spoke), and that i was looking at getting 15's. He immediatly said no you cant do that! I was shocked, if im not mistaken, alot of people here are running 15's. He said that they WILL NOT mount or install the wheels if they are smaller then stock, as they willl not clear the factory brakes and its "not dealer reccomended" lol. So my question is can I use 15 inch wheels, or am I mistaken?

Yeah for sure I love my VQ, unfortunatly it is an auto and i have yet to secure the power valve screws- I really got to get on that, It would be a shame to loose my beloved Pathy to some little screw
