Best Lift
If you can avoid any spacers - don't use them. Of course it will be the easiest way to lift but you will sacrifice articulation of your suspension.
Besides 'proper' ways to lift Path you can use easy solutions like:
1 - you can simply change springs to OME medium, not Heavy! w/o changing any shocks at all;
2 - you can change both ammos and springs, but again - use OME, ToughDog, IronMan or Eibach springs;
but better do not install mini-lift kits and spacers in case you will go off-road - definitely.

I was looking into the OME kit for my '08 but the site says:
North America Pathfinder Owners 2005+, please be advised: On US and Canada Nissans, this kit provides 2.5-3" of lift which has been known to cause alignment problems leading to a potentially poor handling vehicle. No warranty on any late pathfinder suspension components and no returns.
I like the look, but since 90% of my driving is on paved roads the above statement has me somewhat worried, will a camber kit help avoid the problems or am I better off looking elsewhere?

Give Greg a call and he can explain all your options and lead times, etc.WalterThePathfinder wrote:How long did it take for the PRG lift to arrive?
If all you're looking for is a spacer kit, that should be out the door that same day. If you're looking for coilovers, that may take a little longer since he actually builds the set up himself and then sends it out after parts are received and after he builds them.

rancho
I did the rancho quicklifts in the front with the 9000xl and rancho spacers in the back. I also got the airlift 1000 bags. The tires are 285-70-17, just a hair shy of 33".

no
No. The shop hit them with the heat gun and took care of them for me. Which spacers did you get?RCAPathfinder wrote:No rubbing issues on turns? I just put wheel spacers so I had to trim fender behind wheel slightly.
