I spoke with the distributor today about my delayed Lift Kit. He told me that the Rough Country Plant in Tennessee has a delay in making my steering knuckles due to a shortage of steel from China. I would suspect this is due to COVID-19 and the recently imposed tariffs on Chinese goods.
None the less, my distributor told me he thinks they will ship everything to me by next Thursday or Friday.
I've also decided to alter my plan. I am going to install both a 6 inch lift and a TITAN SWAP. I've read online that not many people have done both but I want to stand out as one of the few Pathfinders who will do this upgrade and hopefully lead the way as a pioneer for other potential pathfinder builds
I've put together my Master Checklist for everything I need to perform this upgrade.
