System - F has a custom lift on his Pathy which is the same thing. I'm unsure of the details of it though.

Visit www.4x4parts.com for Pathy/QX4 lifts. I know of at least one guy that has custom built a front-end drop-kit for 4" of lift. Goes by System-F on www.nissan4wheelers.com and www.texasnissantrucks.com

LP Performance is developing a 3" and a 6" kit for newer pathy/qx4's. It was set to be released in July, but still has yet to be. I think it is similar to System-F's custom setup.

Did you check the link at the top of the page here. Why not try supporting one of the sites sponsors. Calmini makes top quality stuff to boot.

Calmini doesn't make anything for R50 pathfinders (or infinity QX4, same thing).

http://www.lpperformance.com/ Apparently they have a 3" and a 6" lift out for them. I say apparently because they havnt shown any pictures of it yet.

Yup, you better watch out...you could be seriously injured or killed. If you do any kind of lift like the one I have (this is a sarcastic comment)

Seriously, you probably just want to hop over to 4x4parts.com and get the 2" lift springs, my lift is way too involved and too much for what she will probably do.

with 32"s (too small)



folder link to pictures of the drop lift.. only revision was strut drop reinforcment as the strut spacer pictured was a prototype

http://texasnissantrucks.com/system-f/drop_lift/

pic 1 of me beating the hell out of the truck


another good asswhoopin for the caR50


again


he made it, but not without serious effort


I did do really crappy in the comp though, mainly due to driving skill and a lack of locker, then a destroyed sidewall...jsut showing that my lift was strong and there where times when the truck was front end in the air, rear end pushing up..and landing hard on throttle..lift was fine.


302YJ , talk to me more if you want about lift ideas. I have done just about all possible without serious redesigning the front end...and can tell you pros and cons of all.
