wheel366 Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 I have the Calmini shocks, but since I haven't had my truck for 7 months I can't tell you how good they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red-finder Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 I have the CALMINI shocks. They are pretty stiff. If you are looking for a comfortable on road drive they aren't for you. From what I have heard the Rancho 5000's are the same type of ride. I also have the 3" lift kit so I have the stiffer springs in the rear and the heavier torsion bars so those make a difference in the ride too. Are you going to run just the shocks with the stock suspension? They are longer than stock for the lifted Pathfinders I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wheel366 Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 You can always get aftermarket replacements that aren't for lifted trucks and aren't electronically adjustable. Bilstein, monroe, etc... should all have shocks for a stock height Pathfinder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kn0xville Posted June 16, 2005 Author Share Posted June 16, 2005 well i have new UCA's and rear springs coming in the mail.. ill have the 3in SL soon!.. so it they wont be for a stock pathy.. and if they are stiff then they are not for me. I think ill look into the proComp or bilstien, i really dont wanna pay the price for the ranchos. thanks guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duffman Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 Calmini shocks are the exact same thing as 5000's Mine work well, harsh ride, but always connected. What it lacks in plush it more than makes up for in handling and feel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wheel366 Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 You can't get bilsteins for a lifted pathy unless you want to convert your front shocks to eye mounts. If you want something that is adjustable, get the rancho 9000's. Their about $85 a piece but are height and ride adjustable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Precise1 Posted June 17, 2005 Share Posted June 17, 2005 I have ProCompES3000 shocks; they are great in the front, but I think a bit stiff in the rear. If you ride with a lot of stuff and/or 4 people they are alright, but alone and unladen it tends to jolt. Maybe go with the ES1000 for the rear (I think those are basically stock replacements).
