tyrhine Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 ok so I'm very very new to pathfinders. so I was thinking I'm going to lift mine, would it be wise to do a body lift before a suspension? or the other way around? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Makes no difference. Body lift is cheaper, but more labour intensive. If you're doing both, it doesn't matter. One thing I'd suggest is if you're going to stack lifts, don't buy tires till you've done both. You'll just be wasting money buying 32's to fit a 3" lift (Suspension or body) when you can go with 33's when you do both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unccpathfinder Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 not that it matters a whole lot but a body lift keeps the CG lower since your keeping the heavy components lower Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

k9sar Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 not that it matters a whole lot but a body lift keeps the CG lower since your keeping the heavy components lower unless you drive around wih a bunch of fat people Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pktzygt Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 I did a body lift first due to the price. Some advice.... Without a lift, the body lift would have been a nightmare. I took my time and triple checked everything broing taken off and again during reinstallation. I must have raised and lowered the truck a dozen times and it took me the better part of the day. I ended up using my little Ryobi battery powered impact alot more than the 1/2" air impact. I got by without the radiator drop kit (cut the shroud) or the gap guards (i figure it will be easier to hose the mud off without them). I figure that a suspension lift would have been done before lunch. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
