Entropy98 Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 Herm you said it nicely!!! I think that if you are building a trail rig, that will be used on difficult trails do the AC lift. If you are going on the weekend trip that requires you to drive on a dirt road that gets a bit hairy at times get the OME lift. I have had both and loved the feel of both better than stock. The reason that I ended up with the AC setup is that I got into a few situations that the OME suspention could not handel. The AC lift is stiffer and affords more ground clearance. If that is important to you than get the AC lift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XPLORx4 Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 I agree with what herm said also. Go for the AC lift. It'll transform your truck. I have personally helped 2 members install AC lifts on their trucks, and the owners were very impressed with the difference the lifts made on their their trucks appearance and handling. If you're worried about error lights with manual hubs, you could try simply removing the drive flanges and drive around for a couple of miles (only in dry weather!)! to simulate what having unlocked hubs would be like. Refer to Photos 2 through 8 to remove the drive flanges. As for sliders, yeah your current side steps will never bear the weight of the vehicle. As herm said, you can actually use the sliders to your advantage when you know they will protect the body. What do you think is supporting the right side of my truck here? (Hint: it's NOT the tires!)

FUELER Posted February 16, 2007 Author Share Posted February 16, 2007 If you're worried about error lights with manual hubs, you could try simply removing the drive flanges and drive around for a couple of miles (only in dry weather!)! to simulate what having unlocked hubs would be like.

I am worried about the mechanical oil pump in the transfer case which is run off the front driveshafts as they spin... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdubb77 Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 I'm new to the Pathfinder world so I'm don't know which lift to recommend but I do love your wheels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nissandoms47 Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 this could go both ways.. but i think the ome lift would suit you more. you mentioned you dont even want more ground clearance, you just want a lift that will make your tires not rub. as for the side steps/sliders there are many options out there.
