A new aggressive price scheme has been applied to all of our lift kit products. Shipping cost is now calculated per country in order to offer more competitive prices. It is now easier to order from Canada,USA,Europe, Australia and New Zealand. Will be adding shipping prices for Africa and other missing countries very soon.

New Price examples for 2017-2018

I've got to say it looks intriguing. And that's coming from someone who hates jacked up trucks, but also was short on ground clearance recently. Which chassis is it for? What does it do to alignment?

I have full kits for the R50 line (1996-2004) and I also have rear spacers only for the WD21 (1990-1995). Like any lift, the higher you go, the more the angles change.. So anything like cv, universal joints, control arms and trailing arm bushings will be affected. If they are in bad condition (dried and/or cracked), they can fail. other than that, I have many happy customers ! For the cvs, a good a good solution is to install wheel hubs (warn 29091). This will prevent your cvs from turning when you're only doing 2wd or highway driving..

Cheers.

I have the 2" all around kit on my 2004 Pathfinder LE Platinum. For alignment it messed up the toe, but I had an alignment performed and it was fine after that. I did not need a camber kit or any special kits to get it aligned.

For just the lift you shouldn't need any special tools or modifications to the vehicle whatsoever.

I now run BF Goodrich Rugged Terrain AT's in 275/65/17 and they look good with the lift. It is a nice modest lift for an R50. I get a little rub at full turn of the steering wheel, but I am going to move or remove the splash guards to alleviate that. I had to trim my fender a bit to fit the tires too. I figure with the tires I am sitting about 4-5" higher than stock in the driver's seat and ground clearance has increased by about 2" due to the tires. It gives me that extra little bit of space I need to get over logs in the woods when getting out to deer hunting spots, or getting through/playing in deep snow.

I will say it takes the smooth ride of the R50 and turns it into that of a truck and my tires are noisy with their aggressive tread, but it was worth it for the functionality, and my aging Pathfinder doesn't make many long highway trips anymore.

I think I have had the 2" kit for 3 years and at least 25,000 miles and have had no issues from it at all.

Were your front brake lines long enough?

Yes. They were long enough. I had the front portion installed by a mechanic because I didn't trust my rented spring compressors to hold the springs tight enough to fit the struts back in without slipping and killing me. They installed them with no problems. Last year I had new rotors and pads installed and a general inspection performed and no one mentioned brake lines. I have checked them out myself and they are in good shape.

I think going above 3" might require you to lengthen the lines. I know it's necessary if you want to do the krfabs 4" SFD. That kit also requires some other modifications as well. I was going to do that, but they discontinued their kits.

A tip for the rear spacer installation:

Jack up the rear of the vehicle. Drop out the rear differential and lower it down on a jack until you can get the old springs out and fit the spacers with the springs back in. I replaced my rear springs when I installed the rear portion. This completely eliminated the need for spring compressors for the rear. Just make sure you don't overextend your brake lines. I undid mine from the housing so I could lower the differential without worrying about it.

I have some newer pictures that show it off a bit more, but for now you can see it in this thread:

I'll try to post the better pics later today.
