PINION Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 so trying to figure out which one to go with, AC with the shipping is over 950, OME is 850 One 2", one 1.75" I would love to hear from folks who have either on their experience Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebelord Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 $950? Should be about $60 for shipping to you, at most $150 if you are rural. We do have a thread on this though; http://www.nissanpathfinders.net/forum/topic/19867-max-tire-size-vs-lift-kit-used-vs-custom-or-oe-wheels/ Its in the R50 FAQ and Pinned topics section. Years of info in there. But a quick summary: AC coils, 2" lift, very stiff, can cause strut top out until "broken in" after about 6months. OME 1.5-1.75" lift, rides as good, to better than stock. Not stiff like the AC springs. Other options is you like your current ride. Is to use spacers from Fleury, which have been proven. There are threads on his products all around. He is also in the Vendor section. I, and a few others have IronMan springs. Very similar to the OME. 1" lift front, 2" lift rear. I also have 1.5" of spacers up front to level out the truck. Advertised as 40mm of lift from IronMan. However right now are VERY hard to get a hold of in the states. If I were do it again, I would stay IronMan personally. The linked thread above should give you more info then I could ever type here. Rebelord PS, love them Level 8 wheels. 15 or 16 inch? Which backspacing? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rebelord Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 Go nuts reading the Member's ride section. The springs as for lift has been the same for years. . Haven't changed Sent from my Moto X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fleurys Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 If you need more info on the spacer lift , have a look at my lift comparison page : http://4x4design.com/r50-lift-kit.php I can also answer questions here. Cheers. S. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushnut Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 As far as I know Rebleord and and I are the only ones running IronMan springs. If I were to do it again I'd go new factory springs and lift, spacers from Steve (4x4designs) all around, to maintain a great ride and a little more hight.

PINION Posted October 7, 2014 Author Share Posted October 7, 2014 I have the spacers on the 99, was just looking for input from people on the different lifts, I went with the AC 2" delux with bilstiens and GR2's Wasn't looking for spacing or any math, just folks's feelings on it.

xxLOUDOGxx Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 (edited) I installed 4x4designes 2inch spacers front and rear with air lift bags in the rear. I mounted 4 Michelins 265/70 16 and I love the way it handles and looks. There are 4 other r50 at my work that other mechanics own and they all agree. This is the way it should of left japan.

PINION Posted October 8, 2014 Author Share Posted October 8, 2014 agreed, I jacked up a trail blazer and sent pics to GM and told them the same thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradon Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 I have .5" OME springs and shocks on the way with kyb gr2 struts and 2" of fleurys spacers front and back already waiting. Once it all goes on I will update with my thoughts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PINION Posted October 28, 2014 Author Share Posted October 28, 2014 2" ac with older tires, I now have 265/75R16 on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karmann Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 (edited) I have the OME with Fleurys front 1" spacer to level it out, and I love it. Much better than the stock spring rate for what I do, yet still incredibly comfortable on the highway and around town. See this thread for more info on what people run: http://www.nissanpathfinders.net/forum/topic/19867-max-tire-size-vs-lift-kit-used-vs-custom-or-oe-wheels/?do=findComment&comment=341506 Edited October 28, 2014 by Karmann Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
