96Pathfinder4x4 Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Luckily my Pathy isn't my DD. If and When I go to 35s, it will be trailered. No worries, though. It's not happening anytime soon...I still have alot of meat on my current tires. The main reason is 2" more ground clearance. At that point trimming the fenders will be a necessity. My current rub is on the inner fender, nearest the cabin. They currently rub on the plastic and only at full-lock. Gets alot of attention in parking lots, but didn't notice it at all offroading last weekend. I do notice a 5-10mph difference on my speedo. I need to get a dash mount for my gps, so it can act as a speedo when needed. I've considered adding spacers to the front, but everyone that has spacers has the camber issue......coincidence? or is it also combined with the AC lift??? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devonianwalk Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 I've considered adding spacers to the front, but everyone that has spacers has the camber issue......coincidence? or is it also combined with the AC lift??? Man, I don't know? I have the AC lift and NX4 1" spacers. I do have two sets of camber adjustment bolts and no issues at all with camber. Maybe peeps aren't adjusting them correctly? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebelord Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 IronMan springs and 1" spacers here. No issues. However the IronMans are pretty much identical to OME as far as spring lift. Here it is on 1/2 worn 31" Cooper STT. For perspective, the white JK in the picture is on 4" springs, 2" body lift and 35" tires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theexbrit Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 I've considered adding spacers to the front, but everyone that has spacers has the camber issue......coincidence? or is it also combined with the AC lift??? It seems to be random, some (such as me & a couple of others) have had really bad positive camber after the spacer install, but others (such as DVW, etc)) have had no issues at all. I elongated the top holes on the bottom of the struts & no have no posi camber at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devonianwalk Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 I would recommend saving some coin and elongate the bolt holes. It is proven to work and best of all, it's free! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theexbrit Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 I slotted my upper strut holes and haven't seen them shift yet. If you torque the bolts to spec they shouldn't shift ever. I have had it aligned twice, and the camber remained exactly where it was initially set. A lot of racing dampers come with a slotted upper hole, and I would assume given the side loads on track racing that if they ever shifted then that idea would have been phased out long ago. Very true. When I had my argument with the pothole, the slotted holes hadn't shifted at all even though the blow was powerful enough to bend my strut. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
96Pathfinder4x4 Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Could it be the brand of strut? I have KYB GR2s. This is with the OME lift Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theexbrit Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 (edited) I have KYB's also, they're supposed to be a good strut so I'm guessing it was just the angle I hit, etc. A strut is basically a hollow tube with a piston & rod inside so it's only as strong as the outer walls. I'm, glad it was the strut & not the steering rack or something else that bent, it was an easy fix. I really like your roof top basket/rack. What make & model is it? (your whole truck looks really good by the way!). Edited November 26, 2013 by theexbrit 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
96Pathfinder4x4 Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 (edited) It's a custom one I bought in Escondido. Some shop has a deal with a fab shop up there and sells them in their store. $200. Not great fab work, but when I get a highlift, awning, etc...I can fab my own mounts and weld 'em on. If you look at that updated sig, I also learned how to do hyperlinks. Edited November 27, 2013 by 96Pathfinder4x4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle94 Posted November 27, 2013 Author Share Posted November 27, 2013 I'm going Kyb In the front eventually and ranchos from like a dodge when I do upgrade the shocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle94 Posted December 2, 2013 Author Share Posted December 2, 2013 So far the rear ac coils are installed and Steve's 1.5" strut spacers. Problem. The ac coils gave more lift than the front. Not sure how long it takes to settle but as it stand right now I need the ac front lift coils as well. It is still slightly odd stepping down to get out of the rig now though. Haha. Time to start saving for that sfd and 33-35's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
96Pathfinder4x4 Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 SFD is worth every penny. ...from my cell...using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle94 Posted December 2, 2013 Author Share Posted December 2, 2013 Oh im sure. Just gotta start saving... Sucky part. haha. I'm gonna go after the AC 2" front lift coils first, so i can be happy with it for a bout a year.... im planning around fall this next year ill be getting a car of some kind so i can save up for the SFD, or i have other plans as to how im going to save. haha.

01silvapathy Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 I agree on the sfd is worth every penny. Just save your money and get that. I used a 4in sfd and the 2in coils up front with custom spacers in the rear and ac coils. I have around 6.5 in front and 6in the rear. Take it from someone who has had literally every possible setup on their rig....2in with stock tires to 2in with 33's to 6.5 with 33's, 35's and 37's. The best way is sfd you can really cater to what you need pnce thats done. It just depends how far you want to go.

96Pathfinder4x4 Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 Why did you paint your rims? I liked the silver on silver scheme. One of my inspirations to spring for the SFD. 8) ...from my cell...using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle94 Posted December 2, 2013 Author Share Posted December 2, 2013 He didn't, he's went through like three different sets of rims along with tires. Lol. Andrew changes them like... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
