So I purchased the Moog 81119 rear coil springs and the rancho coil spring spacers for my 08 Pathfinder and am wondering what the best rear shocks would be to use along with that combination. I was toying with the idea of Armada rear shocks but wasn't sure if they would be to long. Any insight would be appreciated thanks.

I recently put the KYB Gas-a-just shocks on my 2008.

This was with the Moog 81117 Springs as mine is a V8 and specs these springs.
However these 81117s do seem to give a mild lift maybe 1 - 1.5 inch.
There is a discussion on rear springs and shocks, for a 2008 on a NICO subsite here as well (its still separate because it hasn't been fully combined with Nicos Pathfinder forums yet, so folks sometimes miss the how-tos over there)

I'll second that. With AC Delco Professional variable rate springs and the KYB Gas-a-just shocks, my '02 rides smooth, not stiff, and has the rear end load capacity and dampening to handle a good 500lbs in the cargo space while never bottoming out on rough or bumpy road and off-road conditions.
