Suspension Lift, And Locking Hubs

[01silvapathy]

So i am looking into getting the Delux Suspension Package off of 4X4parts.com- is this the right kit to go with or should i go with another kit? Also I was wondering if i should go and put on the Warn manual locking hubs right away or wait for awhile. But i looked at the hubs and for the 1990-2004 (I have a 01) it says that it is only for the 3.0 or 3.3 Engine. But having the le with the 3.5 will it still work, or will it cause problems? And will the hubs fit over new wheels if I decide to get them?

 

Help Please, I hope i did this right as it is my first time posting anything on this or any forum for that fact.

The Deluxe Kit is a great option, well worth the price for what you get in the kit. I'm riding the same struts and shocks and it makes for an uber plush yet responsive ride on and off the road

As for the hubs, you don't need them right off the hop once your rig is lifted. It depends on how much wheeling you intend to do because a 2" lift really angles your CV axles and could lead to failure. Warn manual locking hubs are a good idea in the long run but you can wait a bit without worrying

As for your 2001 Pathy, here's a link:

I just recently did some research on this topic and gowarn.com seems to be the best option. Hope that helps

Warn hubs will sit the spindle but may not fit stock wheels, if you get aftermarket wheels the hubs should fit.

Thanks dude I was wondering if anyone was going to respond or not. And i think that this is the lift that im going to do. Everyone is talking about AC lifts is this the one cause i can only find old man emu suspension set ups, nothing else, is there a website or somthing for them?

Thank you for getting the link for the hubs i really appreciate all the work you helped me with.

one more question- Will this lift kit raise my ride height by 2 inches i know it says 1.75 but is that right, and will the ride height be even, or do i need strut spacers? Keeping in mind that the future has a ARB Bull Bar and a Warn M8000 winch in it.

Thanks for all your help!!!

Yes, the manual hubs will work on your 2001. If your Pathfinder is equipped with the All-Mode system, heed the following warning. Just be sure that with the hubs in 4x2 (unlocked), you DO NOT engage the Automatic mode or 4WD on your All-Mode 4WD, otherwise it will trigger a Malfunction warning lamp.

check out www.4x4parts.com for the AC lift. Yiou will keep the raked look with the lift, if you want to level out the front you will need to get spacers.

Okay so if I want to get spacers is there any plans or schematics that anyone has that i can give to a local chop to have them made?

 

 

Or will the 9/16 spacers be enough?

Dunno about any of this... I've been wondering whether or not I should do this to my R50 as well... Wondering if it'll be worth it.

But I'd want to keep my 'raked' look so I'd do strut spacers and rear spring spacers, 1" both F and R.

tmorgan might have some schematics that he might be able to send you, look for him.
