Lift Kits???

[Guest Pathy88SE]

I was wondering if it is possible to combine a Trailmaster 4" lift and a Calmini 3" lift on my 1988 Pathfinder SE with a 5 spd.

 

The reason for asking is because when i read up on the Trailmaster kit it says that it uses a 4" coil spacer and it drops the torsion bars 4", And the Calmini kit uses a 3" coil spring and an a-arm lift.

 

So would it be possible to combine the two?

As far as i know i think it works. TM kit drops the rear spring pearches and the front diff. SO you can use lift springs in the rear and the calmini lift UCA's.

So if you combine the two, do you get a 7" lift?!?! I have been pondering this idea as well, and wouldn't mind giving it a try. Plus 7" would be friggin sweet. Add a 3" body and you have yourself a 10" lift. (and I didn't even have to take my shoes off)

I dont think it gives you a full 7. I thought i heard somewhere for some reason you only get like 6 inches. But not sure. Thats pretty tall for a trail rig though.

ahh spring perches, that's what I need. I recently installed JGC coils, longer shocks and then dropped the sway bar and low and behold just about an hour ago i'm out playing around at the river bottoms get a little flexy and wham there goes the passenger side coil sitting in the dirt. Had to limp the poor girl home all lopsided. :sniff:

Yep, it's possible. Lots of people have done it, but it still doesn't work as well as a solid axle up front.

hey thanx for all of the replys.

wouldn't a SAS be easier to do in the long run? not to mention they look freaking sweet.

Um, "easier"?!?! Nothing is easy there.

If the labor factor was the only thing holding us all back... I think 80% of NPORA members would have SAS..lol... it is the $$$$$$$$$$$$$$ that keeps us IFS..... :sniff:

And the designing, fabrication, completely building from scratch...

[sammyb33]

yea...designing from scratch...if i had a set of directions...even a vague set (with pics tho...or someone there to show me theirs...) i think i could do it...but being so very, very alone.....
