How to lift a 2wd pathfinder

[michaelj1109]

I have a 1996 Pathfinder 2wd and was looking to add a lift to it. What is the best way to do this? I would like to go at least 3 or 4 inches. Thanks for the help in advance.

Same lift as us 4wd guys. Springs for 1-2", strut/spring spacers for any extra. 4wd we are limited by CV angle. You could probably push it being 2wd.

Thanks...I have been looking to go 3 or 4 inches. I read that i can use WJ springs on the back with F350 struts to make up for the length. Is this accurate? What about for the front?

WJ springs with the adapter piece. The F250/350 shocks are used because they are longer and allow the proper flex and dont limit the rear end articulation.

Front, your stuck with stock length struts and springs of your choice. Plus strut spacers.

Would i be able to lift the front 3 or 4 inches then? What's the best place to get everything to lift it?

That high you are going to have to SFD your rig

Okay. i will just stick with 2 in then. Where can i get the kit that will lift front and rear 2 inches??

for the springs, get kyb struts, and Nissan Strut mounts, and bearings,

 

look at the R50 pinned section there are a few different topics covering all you need
