I finally have the money to pay for the lift...Buying from AC....I've lifted Ford trucks and Jeep Wrangler Rubicon and Cherokee, They all seem to have front end issues afterwards, Meaning runnign through steering suspension and drivetrain components which arent cheap. Is the pathfinder goin to be the same way becuase this may cause me to rethink my lift...My guess would be that it probably will wear through components just as fast as the ford and jeeps did.

What do you guys think?

Drivetrain components won't be too bad. The steering, if you wheel it, will implode. Look for an aftermarket steering system. hoohaa (PM him) makes a good replacement using a stock centerlink. Calmini makes a totally redesigned system.

What about eating up the CV's Ford ate those every few months...The Jeeps both went through ball joints like no tommorow. But I'm goin to look into steering...that was my other concern becasue we all know that the early pathys steering sucks.

Naw, as long as you're not riding the bumpstops in the front, and make sure you keep your bumpstops ON, they don't really blow up any quicker. You're still riding in the factory specified range for the front suspension, you're just riding higher within that range. Ball joints are okay as well, again, within reason. If you crank it to the sky, you'll eat them up. Leave about 1/2" between the upper bump stops and you'll be okay.
