The mini lift came from PRG. As far as road noise it's not that bad but it is there. I went from the stock 7 1/2" rim to a 9" so there is a good amount of more rubber on the ground. I actually like a little noise it feels like your really driving a truck. Plus I'm pretty use to them because that's all I've had on my last three trucks

wheels

I have the V8 pathy and i can't find that wheel with the correct bolt pattern and offset. I think the v6 has the same.... what are the specs on your wheels?

wheel size

Looks great! In regards to wheels/tires I’m going with a similar package but want to go with a smaller diameter difference vs stock. Don’t drive much off road and if I do it’s mostly in sand. I was considering going with a 285/60/18, same width but smaller diameter and circumference. You mention minor trimming, is that b/c of the width of the tire or the height. Where did you rub before trimming?

i have to say ur ride looks freakin amazing!!!

i wonder if i could squeeze those 285s in without the lift? probably have to do some major trimming in the wheel wells, but it would be worth it.

did u have to take off the entire headliner to put the new footings in for the sweet rack you have?

have you noticed any mpg change with the mods?

So I put the Nitto 285/60/18s around the XD addicts and it's definitely a tight fit. I needed to removed the mud flaps and trim a piece around that area. There's still some rubbing on full turns but doesn't seem to damage anything.
I also did the PRG lift which fit well but a torch was needed to remove some of the old bolts.
If you do the lift I would recomend getting the camber kit, (SPC #87520) to get your allignement in line.

I just ordered the Bilstein 5100 adjsusable front struts along with OME rear 1" lift springs. When I measure the Pathfinder now the front is about a half inch lower than the rear. I'm going to install the new rear springs first and than decide where to set the front. I'm thinking 1 1/2 inches at this point depending on how the rear measures out when it's done. I'll put some pics up.

As I can see you're having troubles with your Nissan Pathfinder trim. You may see nissan pathfinder parts list and replace you car parts.

Hi! I have lifted my pathy 2.5" on the suspension (Radflo).
Have ordered the Cragar Soft 8 rims in 17x8 with +13mm offset.

Also I have purchased tires Fedreal Couragia MT in 285/70/17.

Would someone maybe post these pictures of this car with 285/70/17 again? I havent seen any Pathy with 285/70/17 with lift. Specialy not MT -tires.

I hope to make it fit my car, will get the wheels and tires next month.
