Guest Pathy88SE Posted June 3, 2005 Share Posted June 3, 2005 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4wheeler Posted June 3, 2005 Share Posted June 3, 2005 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaritimeMan Posted June 3, 2005 Share Posted June 3, 2005 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) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4wheeler Posted June 3, 2005 Share Posted June 3, 2005 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norcaljoe Posted June 3, 2005 Share Posted June 3, 2005 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: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88pathoffroad Posted June 3, 2005 Share Posted June 3, 2005 Yep, it's possible. Lots of people have done it, but it still doesn't work as well as a solid axle up front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
