I really think they are the exact height.
Only good thing from the armada would be the r230 that is about it.

You probably don't want to hear this, but if you're just looking to clear larger tires, a 2-3" Body Lift is quick and dirty (and cheap-ish... Diapers/daycare are expensive).

My xterra cleared 35's with 2" BL and 3" SL.

I've looked at the cost of armada swapping or the partial titan swap and it's usually chesper just to sell and buy the armada/titan.

My $0.02

I was more of looking for the width. I'm loving the 2" lift I have now, but I want a little more clearance on the trails and I'm not the most comfortable with running another 5 inches higher without a wider wheel base with the way I drive. I'm also more of a 33" tire kind of guy. I'm currently sitting on 265/75r16 Maxxis Bighorns, which are great for my setup, but I'll be running either 255/85 or 285/75 of the same tire on stock rims. I haven't flipped that coin yet. Not to interested in adding the weight or stress of wider, heavier tires with my CV's.

I didn't think the Armada swap was THAT expensive. It's kind of why I posted this thread, start gathering all the little details so I could budget. I figured maybe 5000 for the entire build budget, pulling wreckage parts and doing all the labor myself. I may be conservative with that, but hey, a guy can hope.

I wouldnt want a titan or armada over my pathfinder lol
Sas rear would be nice to dream though.
I currently have 5-6" lift upfront without any drop brackets the rear i have no choice but a drop bracket or sas.
I ran into other issues with normal wear and tear so stopped modifying.
I juggle my Pathy and 1955 GMC so it takes longer

^Right.

It's my pathfinder and I'm keeping it. Damn it. Lol.

I'm not sold on a solid axle. I like the uniqueness of a fully independent trail rig. Obviously I can't rock crawl as well, but luckily there's not too much of that in North Florida.
