k9sar Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Cheapest way is to crank the T-bars and do a poor-man's rear lift by replacing the springs with those off an 8-cyl jeep grand Cherokee. There's a thread in here somewhere for the spring/lift options. Worth a read. I got almost 3 inches of lift on my 95SE that way but had to reindex my T-bars to get the twist I wanted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpecialWarr Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 (edited) No worries! Send Fleurys (on here) a message and get some of his rear spring spacers and then crank the torsion bars to their stops and BOOM! You got a inexpensive lift!

Dma251 Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 You can do it cheap if you have some mechanical skills. Like what was said above - front coil springs from a V8 Jeep grand Cherokee ZJ (1993-1998) will fit nicely in the rear of your pathfinder and give you the 2" lift you're looking for. The catch is you will need to cut off the pigtails (where the spring reduces in diameter at the end). Hacksaw is the slow way, cutoff disc is the easy way. The front you can crank the tension on your torsion bars for 2" of lift for free, you need basic hand tools for that. Remember to jack the front of the truck up and adjust the bars without load on them when you raise it. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedPath88 Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 It pays to read through other areas ofthe forum Pinned in the Garage: Suspension Lift Information From the Garage>How-To's section: How To Re-Index Your Torsion Bars Best to start here when lifting, that way everything is "reset" from the start Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
