89pathy4x4 Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 (edited) nah! thats not what I meant at all.....the UCA's that correct for the BJ angle (i.e LIFT) are not meant to be run around in a stock configuration it throws the camber WAY off and makes proper alignment impossible......and not everyone's pathfinder came with 31" tire as stock. Mine came with p235 70 tires (29") Have you ever noticed how responsive your pathfinder is during low~medium speed steering input after you did the lift?? This is because the adjustment is jjjjuuuussssttt barely adaquate to get you around....a small adjustment makes a BIG difference with huge tires.....but smaller tires require more adjustment for the same results. Draw it out on a piece of paper and you'll see what I'm talking about. If all of this isn't a big concern for you KnOx...why go to the trouble and expense to replace them at all.....it's not a nessessity to lift your truck in front, just crank the t-bars and call it a day! But they say you need them for something..........I wonder what?? Edited May 12, 2006 by 89pathy4x4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

89pathy4x4 Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 There ya go !! get some Rancho shocks RS5000's are good RS9000's are better, but more $$ .......all the suspension mod you need!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sammyb33 Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 are you kidding? .it's not a nessessity to lift your truck in front, just crank the t-bars and call it a day! But they say you need them for something..........I wonder what?? how can you say you do not need lift in the front? why not try and get as much suspension lift as possible? i mean i am keeping my 31's untill i am in need of new tires, then i may get 32's, but i bought UCA's, torsion bars, springs, and shocks, because i would like to get as much LEVEL lift as possible!!! i agree a body lift might be in order now because he has the frame and body separated, but i think eventually he is going to want suspension, i mean that is what he asked about in the first place. your UCA's will be fine with stock wheels and tires, may look a little funny with just 29's but i think many people on here are running that combination....just my 2 cents...

89pathy4x4 Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 are you kidding? yup, i guess so I personally wouldn't lift my rig and run stock tires on it. There isn't alot of performance advantage in it....A pathy can go anywhere it wants to go in stock configuration...except for the rock crawling action.....NOW you need some serious supension lift Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pathfinder-jay Posted May 13, 2006 Author Share Posted May 13, 2006 So then what should I go with... Im asking personal opinions, I did some research and so far im not 100% sure exactly what I need or what would be best. PS my chrome mags can fit up to 32's I beleive... so im going to up my tires aswell to 31 or something Thanks Jay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
89pathy4x4 Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 I would just go with some shocks, for now, and make the adjustment on the torsion bars up front to make everything level.....plunkin down a bunch of cash on a suspension lift......just to run 31" tires makes no sense. They will fit, no problem. But if your ultimate goal is 32's or 33's.....start saving up for the Calmini (3") or the Trailmaster kit (4") Both are heavy duty and work great!

Pathfinder-jay Posted May 13, 2006 Author Share Posted May 13, 2006 this is what i got so far... well want to get UCA: Scott (519) 999-3668 Littlefoot Offroad Windsor, Ontario Canada Shocks: http://4wheelparts.com/4wp/packages/index.asp?ParentPacID=46 Steering: http://www.lpperformance.com/ Coils: http://www.4x4parts.com/public_html/shop/i...1c67b24b3c20922 Tires: 32x11.5x15 let me know if theres anything i should change... thanks Jay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
89pathy4x4 Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 Jay, Those are all quality products and have been recommended by people with WAY more experience than myself...sounds like a good plan. My only advise would be to keep a CLOSE eye on the expense of piecing together a kit vs buying one complete (shipping + additional parts) and make sure it will suit your needs. I kinda pieced mine together and had ALOT of fun making everything work the way I wanted. Still not satisfied 100%.....but then again I won't be, until the SAS and 35" tires...but thats just me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pathfinder-jay Posted May 13, 2006 Author Share Posted May 13, 2006 Anyone got some ideas on how to reinforce your towing hook or is it ok how it is with the 2 bolts? Thanks Jay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pathfinder-jay Posted May 13, 2006 Author Share Posted May 13, 2006 Hey I want to get this grill but says up to a 90 pathy.... will it fit my 91? Also can you fit 2 lights on the front of this bad boy.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
89pathy4x4 Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 (edited) The metric grade 10.9 bolts that came stock on your tow hook will withstand 8k + lbs of shear force....I think they will be fine "as is" I'm not sure about the grille guard.....stick it up against you bumper and see if the holes match up Edited May 13, 2006 by 89pathy4x4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
