I've got a Frontier, and just bought 285/75/16s, and this was helpful. Thanks man.

Great Video! I just did this to my Pathfinder this weekend. I have to say your bolts look like they came out way easier then mine. The nuts broke free on the two front bolts (smaller block location) but luckily I could get a wrench in there to hold them. I Just wanted to mention that the bracket you removed between the body and the frame is actually reinforcement for the seat belts. I just added an extra spacer block at that location to be able to keep it. Keep up the great videos!

Got an 08 with a 4inch lift. Had spacers made for the front cost about 300 cad And made some coil spacers for the rear with some stuff I had laying around...i have 31's and it does great. Best 7 passenger truck I could get under 10k and go into some light trails. Keep us posted on any issues or mods you do.

Frontier front pucks work & are often cheaper than Pathfinder fronts. Armada rear spring spacers fit the rear springs & LCAs and are often cheaper than Pathfinder rears. Lift job took an easy afternoon with basic tools. 275 70 18s fit on stock LE rims, and are just over 33" tall. Plenty of sidewall & raised the rig a little more too. Had to do some minor work in the front fenders but nothing as much as you did. Your channel was a big motivator. Solid work sir.

You could put sleeves in the tubing, piece of pipe even. If there's a tractor supply near you they have all kinds of sleeves and stuff that you can buy cheap they're hardware prices are hard to beat. But even if you just cut a piece of pipe to size and put in the tubing that would strengthen it a lot. Love your Pathfinder

Just got a pathfinder. Great vid. What specs are the rear body bolts you went with?. Planning on ordering and making my own as well. Thanks for all the help.

I got an 06 pathfinder. Right now I have a 2.5” spacer lift. And I wanna do ranchos that come with an extra 2 inch lift. And I wanna run 33’s.

I swapped the front end with a 2in spacer kit up front with Bilstein 4600. Make sure you get taller bump stops up front or the strut shaft will snap eventually or the valve pack gets crushed. I used energy suspension jouce bump stops on all four corner and it makes bumpstop contact much softer and no jarring. $13 a pair on Amazon for red color. they are the correct hight for the rear and the front for 2in lift. The rear suspension I have a spacer with KYB gas-a-just very ride and removes the infamous Pathfinder bounce having 25% more dampening.

I think those bolts for the spacer go in from the bottom before you attach it to the strut.

Hello Alger, I'm getting ready to add a PRG 2" lift on the back with struts and brake line extension included, and the Air lift 1000 after watching your videos. Very helpful, thank you. I am also planning on throwing some 2" strut spacers on the front and was wondering if you have experienced any rubbing between you Upper Control Arm and the coil over spring in the front? Is this possibly something that's fixed by an alignment? Also, in your experience, is this a good course to take to gain a little lift, or should I consider something else? I'm only planning on tearing up some mild trails and get around easier in the snow here in the winter - no crazy off-roading. If it's of any relevance I also plan on throwing some 265/70's on the 17" rims. Appreciate any guidance you can give!

You shouldn't have removed the chassis to body hook bracket. Better to modify it and make it fit. It is there to stop the body from ripping off the chassis in a collision.

Right on. This is three years old. I’m curious if you still have this. How did the front and rear end hold up to the weight of the 35’s?

Awesome video. Did you consider gear ratio?, I think is 3.13 from factory, mine is a 2008.

Nice video ! Thanks for the breakdown from the first video. I have similar setup now .... did your ABS, vcd, and slip light come on after your install ?? If so , what did you do to fix ? Thanks in advance.

Can you please post up full dimensions of the extended bolt you ordered for the rear subframe spacers, thank you.

This is awesome.....am far in Africa but have an 06 Pathfinder. Can I lift it up by just changing the springs to a higher one?. I love your tire size. How high did you go to fit that tire. I just could learn alot from you. The roads here are so bumpy with alot of pot holes and a higher vehicle is best. So please walk me through what I need to lift it up. Of course on a budget. Thanks brother

I' d advise you to add a spacer between the ball joint and the upper arm in the front suspension to avoid the risk of quick wearing off of the ball joint while extreme articulation.. As for the front fenders' trimming.. well guys, how happy you're not to know salted sands of the northern roads which are too quick to eat up the unprotected body metal of your car!

Besides doing the melt-mod, do the tires still rub on the frame when fully turning?

Anthony Cook, Congratulations on your new to you Pathy. A 1-1.5" lift shouldn't change your ride characteristics to much, and i would recommend leaving the sway bars in. And with those lifts you don't have to worry about changing your upper control arms out, and it doesn't put much stress on any of your suspension.

I have body roll now but it doesn't bother me, I had a Long travel titan, and a long travel s10 before that so I'm use to it. It's fine on the highway too but with the soft springs you can feel it when loaded down on the highway.
