CrazzyMax Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 Hi there, i'm interested in putting bj spacers for more wheel travel, which do you recommend, 0.5" or 1"?? My biggest fear, is if this brings trouble for the hubs? If you have a better sugestion than spacers, please shot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 Hubs will be fine. You'll blow through CV joints like mad though. Best bet, if you're lifted, get a set of aftermarket upper control arms (RoughCountry, which are rebranded Superlift arms are the best deal) and call it a day. I'd stay away from the spacers if you're into situations where you're flexing out the front suspension, and giving it gas......asking for trouble, in my opinion.

88pathoffroad Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 Those spacers are not a good idea, especially the 1" spacers. http://www.nissanpathfinders.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=2598&hl=spacer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazzyMax Posted March 20, 2007 Author Share Posted March 20, 2007 Is there any other way to get more travel at the wheel, besides new UCA? I have 4" of SL in the back, and 2" BL, all home made Here's my baby right after mounting de BL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sammyb33 Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 sweet hood scoop....do you have the TD??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88pathoffroad Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 You cannot increase front wheel travel much at all without doing some mods to the CV's. They are not meant to travel that far and I have blown up at least 3 axles by simply lifting it and NOT using spacers. If you could find a way to get more angle out of the CV's, then go ahead. Otherwise, carry trail spares and get ready to change them out often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
89_trailboss Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 best(cheapest) way to get more travel is to remove the bumpstops. then watch how many CV's you go threw. ITS NOT WORTH IT!!!! you will only gain at most .5" of extra drop. that wont do anything for you but destroy CV's dont try and get more travel you of your suspension. You basically cant and any bit that you do will chew up CV's. I have stock UCA, stock bumpstops, stock everything just my Tbars are cranked 3". I go threw so many CV's its not even funny. last weekend was the first weekend in the last 6-7 weeks that I havent replaced a CV. yes I do beat on it, but with anymore droop I wouldnt have to give it much gas to snap CV's.

unccpathfinder Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 sorry i cant help...but nice truck all around...i really like the fenders/flares scoop and bull bar...I think that hood would look sweet on a pathy that pulls off the super charger...goes to ebay and starts looking for hoods...

CrazzyMax Posted March 22, 2007 Author Share Posted March 22, 2007 SAS it I had that in mind, but the cops here and the DMV are very straight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sammyb33 Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 eh, u dont have to go crazy with your SAS...keep it at about 6-7 inches of lift....about the same amount u would get with a 3+3 currently on your pathfinder. that way u can make it nice and flexy and still not be much higher....im planning on about 8 inches of lift and sticking with about 34s....or 35s....not sure....

CrazzyMax Posted March 22, 2007 Author Share Posted March 22, 2007 The simple fact of changing anything here, is reason to apprehend the vehicle. Everytime i drive by a cop, my balls get smaller :confused: It's a ****** country. :oops: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
