I've been wanting to lift my Pathfinder for a while now, but money has been tight, as well as I wanted to do the work myself, but lacked the space to be able to do it.

In that time, everything seemed to be going bad. The rear lower trailing arm bushings, front lower control arm bushings, rear shocks, front struts and all 4 springs were worn out. I couldn't put more than 5 lbs in the rear without it sagging completely. The Pathfinder's stance was just pitiful.

Now, I finally made all the purchases, had the space and the time, and installed everything by myself (accept the rear lower trailing arms, I was unable to budge those bolts. Ended up taking it to an automotive shop). It took a total of 2 weekends to do. I had to space it around receiving the various parts as well as my on call schedule and numerous other things going on.

So, I just wanted to show her off. :) In the future, just need a new and bigger set of tires.

4x4parts 2" lift? Looks good! Do the rear trailing arm bushings in polyurethane when you do 'em, way better than stock!

Lift looks good!! Its on my "to do list" in the "future".... fueler, where did you source the polyurethane bushings? Finding anything aftermarket for the R50's is a real treat....
