kg03 Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 Hi all, faily new and i believe my first post. I am interested in lifting my QX4 up to the 2 inches offered by AC. It is my understanding that the ac coils are the same height just a higher spring rate ( more harsh ride i presume) and the ome coils are the same spring rate just taller. I don't care to have a stiffer spring but a higher ride height. Is it possible to just by the rear 2" lift springs from ac and just put spacers above my stock coils. What issues would this cause. Is it a good/bad idea. I have read some of the posts of you guys who have lifts. If anyone that has a Qx4 that they switched the coils for the ome or ac could give me some insight from experience I would appreciate it. It is also my understanding that the QX4 and pathfinder's OEM springs are designed at a different spring rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nissandoms47 Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 Just buy the AC 2" lift. You thing with stiffer coils the ride would get worse but it actually improves the ride and handling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaKaNa Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 I like the handling *after* the AC lift ALOT better than stock. It feels much more stable, especially when going through those big curves on highways, it feels alot more like its resting flat than leaning into it.

csutke Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 (edited) X2 it might be a little stiffer but its a welcome improvement over stock. plus it looks way cooler when its lifted Edited July 13, 2007 by csutke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWC5S2 Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 Do the full AC lift. You will be very happy with the results. Much better ride. You can choose to use softer or stiffer shocks and struts depending on how cushy you want the ride. AC will walk you thru which ones to get depending on your preferences.

vengeful Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 When inquiring about which shocks will best suit your needs, speak with Mike. He's the man tech/product design/install expert over there, and he'll help you out a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhamelin819 Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 do you have any lift what so ever? i run 31's with my lift not in yet and i have minimal rubbing at extreme turning. i had to do no trimming even for off roading, 32's will clear, but youll have to do some trimming on the plastic inside the wheel well.

Rebelord Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Search man, plenty of threads on this subject.. On subject, 32" will be a very tight squeeze. But 31" should be no issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverPath Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 If you have a lift, you can fit 33's depending on your wheels. It is what im rocking, with only minor trimming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
