Quinantine Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 New to the forum and have a question about lifting. I am looking at getting the EMU springs for my 2002 pathfinder. My question is, can I run this lift with my stock rims or do I need to get a new set with differant spaceing at the same time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XPLORx4 Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 You can run this with your stock rims, no problem. The main reason why people get different rims when lifting their Pathfinders is that many folks want bigger tires when they lift. Bigger tires do not always fit on stock rims, due to clearance issues between the tire shoulder and the lower spring mount on the front strut.

Quinantine Posted August 31, 2011 Author Share Posted August 31, 2011 And its when I want the bigger tires I need a rim with a negitive backspace so it can clear, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom01Pathfinder Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 (edited) And its when I want the bigger tires I need a rim with a negitive backspace so it can clear, right? that is correct...negative backspacing pushed the wheel out future from the strut there are countless lift questions all over this forum, so you shouldnt have a problem getting an answer! and to the family Edited August 31, 2011 by Phantom01Pathfinder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devonianwalk Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Yes. Welcome to the family neighbor! It seems that you have been searching the forums by the questions that you ask. This is where I learned the basics for my suspension lift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quinantine Posted September 1, 2011 Author Share Posted September 1, 2011 Town of Clemmons. Another question is I have read that after putting a lift on there, it is a good ideal to install the warn hubs to reduce the wear on the CV joints. The question I have is the hubs on the warn website only listhough thehe 2001 model they can go on. Can someone confirm the model 29091 does indeed fit on the 2002 model pathfinder?

smoke Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 REALLY NOW!!! thats great....we should get together sometime. I will be installing the Old Man Emu HD front and MD rear springs and control arms in the rear....and possiblly the ball joints and front sway links too... If you would like to come help/watch/learn.... and I will do the same for you when you decide to do your lift... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
