tekazgtr1984 Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 Cool. You're planning on powdercoating/painting those? Are you just running these 3" spacers with the OEM coils? What about in the rear? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shift220 Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 Any clearer pictures? The fabrication doesn't look to clean from that picture.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunderbolt Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 That should do the job. That look similar to the one the ones that I fab up a few months ago, when I did my SFD drop. I have question on the 3" height . I went with 4" height all the way round on mine including the subframe block and motor mounts that way the steering extension would fit perfect. Right now, I'm going to try the F-350 coil spring in the rear and see how that going to work, also see what to do for a panhard extension or bracket for now.

If you do go and try those F350 Coils let me know what happens I would be very interested in going with bigger coils instead of the spring spacers. What coils would you use, the stock coils? I would assume any lift coil would be much too stiff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nissandoms47 Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 You might have to cut down the f-350 coils a lot if you're only running an SFD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CODY Posted July 5, 2009 Author Share Posted July 5, 2009 (edited) im just gonna paint them for now. as far as the rear im still fabbing up the spacer. i will get better pics later today. i have also thought of the f350 coils also. has anyone else tried the f350 coils? let me know. in front im gonna use the spacers with oem coils for now.

nissandoms47 Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 f350 coils might work with an SFD. All i know is when we finished the front SAS the front sat like 3 inches or so higher then the rear and the rear was setup for an SFD. f350 coils make the rear sit like an inch higher then the front with the SAS. Youd be better off finding something else for non sas'd pathys because the black pathy is pretty much 1-ton suspension. It rides like a fricken tank. but hasn't broken or anything yet. Still flexes too. we used f350 6" lift coils for the front. if you look at those you'll just have to imagine how big this pathy is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
180sx Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 Question. What F350 coils are we talking about? Like, the year of it and what not... Jose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CODY Posted July 8, 2009 Author Share Posted July 8, 2009 well i put the spacers in and had a problem. it gave me 6 inches of lift and my sway bar was hitting the strut and the lower ball joints were maxed out also. guess i will cut the spacers in half and try again. those of you who have done the SFD how did u do it? mines a 2 wheel drive.

01silvapathy Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 You need the engine blocks and the sub frame blocks also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tmorgan4 Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 I think I might have a few extras....but you're going to have to figure out the hardware and steering extensions. I don't have everything to complete the kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
