rear shocks

[thorpe991]

hi im going to lift my pathfinder with spacers at the end of the month and im going with 1.75" in the rear i was told that i could run the stock shocks but i would lose 1.75" of upward travel

 

i would rather keep my up travel the same or close to it. i found on summit racing two shocks that look like they might work they are

1. Pro Comp Suspensions part# 114500 ( is 1.74" longer than stock at extended)

2. DJM Suspension part# 1509 (is 2.3" longer than stock at extended)

Both have upper and lower eyelet mounts which is what mine has the DJM one is a little longer than the pro comp one and they are both longer than stock. on summitracing they say stock has a stud but i have looked at the ones on my pathfinder and they are both eyelet mounts

 

 

 

which ones would you guys go with or that you know would work?

I was going to go with the es1000's for my truck (d21) but ended up spending a bit extra and getting the es3000 and so far loving them, stiffer but that's the ride I am looking for, I heard that the es1000 are even stiffer but that's looking at reviews. I used them as stock replacements, not too concerned about extra length and collapse length. I can't say too much for DJM never used them never looked them up. Personally I would go for the pro comps reason being, less collapse length. But that's my opinion.

I'm looking for a stiffer ride in the rear overall because I haul alot of scrap metal and since I broke my truck the pathfinder is now the scrap hauler but with a trailer with the truck I usually haul around 700-800 pounds I know I can't do that with the pathfinder but if I can get 400-500pounds ill be happy

Hmm in that case I might go for the 3000's instead of the 1000's might be a little softer but it will have a lot more life, I ended up paying 45$ a shock and I think the 1000's were 35$ a shock. I hope my advice helps
