pakoe Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 Hi, I'm thinking in change the suspension system of my pathy. My idea is based on the trailmaster lif kit of 4", but i don't like down 4" the front differential, i prefer that front differential, is more high, and substitute the torsions bars for a sistem coilover+ shock, like a new pathfinder. My intention is down only the differntial about 2"or2.5", no more, and the other inch up to 4", with the same system of trailmaster. I'm seeing in ebay the front shocks, and i like the bilstein adjustable for toyota tacuma/tundra, but, my question isthat i don't kown how tall are these coil springs for this cars?. Thank you.

92pathy Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 hmmmmmm.....thats an interesting idea.....not a whole lot of people have done coilovers on pathfinders because of the weak places to mount them our trucks werent meant for coilovers and about the diff lowering....not too familiar with that too much so maybe someone else can chime in.........maybe.. oh and you will want shocks for a pathfinder not a yota Good Luck!

pakoe Posted January 20, 2008 Author Share Posted January 20, 2008 I think that isn't very dificult, the idea is simply, the shocks can be for toyota, any problem with this, because more or less the weight are the same, the problem ca be a find it the coil spring that will be good, because i have find the lenght good, for this, the bilstein adjustable that i see in ebay for toyota i like, because it have 3 positions for choose. Now only is one idea in my head, but if i can do it, i will put photos of the mod. i hope. Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unccpathfinder Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 Since you are in spain I don't know if you have heard or seen the website www.4x4parts.com but they have a forum there with tons of SAS (solid axle swap) that may give you an idea of what has been done...and there is a lot of information there on this topic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pakoe Posted January 27, 2008 Author Share Posted January 27, 2008 Hi again, i can't see all photos, this system is the same that i'm thinking, but this coilovers are more expensive for me. I think that will use the bilstein lift suspension for Tacoma, the price for this shocks ara more cheap, and are adjustable too. Thank you.
