Lift + Wide on a budget?

Postby SlaywareWantsTSwap » Mon Sep 19, 2022 5:58 pm

Hey guys I'm back on here with some more questions on how sketchy I can get the pathy but not falling apart on the highway.

A big reason that brought me over to the Titan-Swap idea for my pathfinder is because it's way cheaper than the rough-country drop-bracket and I like the fact that the control-arms give about 3" of wheel poke. I'm 16 on budget and am not planning on taking my pathy off-roading, just looking for the lifted and wide look.

I was wondering if I could buy some stock Titan UCAs and LCAs throw those on with my 3" lift puck and do some tie rod extensions to get both the lift and track-width I'm wanting to achieve.

My only concern was if I use the Titan upper and lowers is if I need to get new shocks or if it'd be fine to use my stock shocks with a 3" lift puck.

Thank you for anybody with any insight on this!

If you hanker for that extra wheel travel the Titan swap may be the cheapest way for you to do it.
I will let others answer the particulars though.

Otherwise I always liked about the Pathfinder is its balance as an allrounder, highway and offroad.
Also Not too small not too big.
Making the vehicle wider changes its footprint and I would think twice about that as u will be taking away hiway prowess while losing some mpgs

Just my 2 cents :)

Take a peek at this thread.

I did both a titan swap and a drop bracket lift.

total cost for both was around $2500
