What's Next?

[drunkentiger89]

Hey everyone. This is my first post here, and I'm hoping to get some advice on what mods I should do next on my Pathfinder. I've got a 2002 SE 4x4. Suspension-wise I have the 2 inch AC coil lift, Rancho RS5000 shocks in the rear and the camber alignment kit. I put 16 inch black pacer rims with 245/75/16 Hercules Durango tires on as well. Aside from that I have a K&N cold air intake, and I tinted the windows.

 

I'm not satisfied with where my pathfinder is right now though. I'd like to increase my ride height and fit a little bit bigger tires. The next step is going to be getting rims with -3.75 inch backspacing that will allow for some tires hopefully around 265/75/16. While I'm at it I want to get some opinions on coil spacers (need manual hubs?) and something I've recently learned about called a sub frame drop lift. If there are any other options worth exploring, I'd like to know about them as well.

 

Thanks

 

I'm not sure how to post pictures yet- so here's a link to the car domain I just made.

You may also want to look into aftermarket front struts. KYB is high-end and afforable.

 

You mentioned coil spacers. I take it you're referring to the rear. Should you decide on rear coil spacers, you may also want to look into front leveling spacers.

FYI tek, they are both coil spacers....they both are blocks of steel or aluminum that space out coils....

I just got my new procomp wheels and 265/75/16 BFG all terrain tires. There was significant scrubbing when the bigger tires were put on, and the guys installing them told me I was going to have to trim some of my front bumper / wheel well. Has anyone had experience with this? I wanted to ask before I gave the go-ahead to start cutting into the body of my pathfinder.

 

Thanks
