Curious about your profile picture. What does that trailer weigh and what's the tongue weight? Are the Moog springs what you used?disallow wrote:The Moog springs are the way to go! They are constant rate springs which are better for towing.
A pointer on the air lift install, make sure you put the airbag into the coil before you put it into the rear lower control arm. The Moog springs have a few more coils, making it difficult to impossible to get the airbag into the coil the way you are able to with the factory spring.

I've looked at these too. Seems like a good option. Would be Moog # 81117, and the rated load is 785kg vs 721kg, so an extra 64kg x 2 of load capacity (at least as far as the springs are concerned) which is good.BullDozer wrote:You can also look into the V8 rear spring option.
that's right about where my trailer is at, 5300lbs.disallow wrote:415lb tongue weight, 4600lbs dry weight, 6000lbs fully loaded.
Yes I used the NAPA branded rear springs, made by federal mogul (Moog), they are the same constant rate coils we are recommending.
The air lift 1000 is the best most cost effective kid you could do to your pathfinder imho.
I know right. I got the spec sheets which had these differences listed, which confused me too. So I called them and confirmed the difference.disallow wrote:Maybe SMJ can weigh in, but that makes no sense. The mounting, interface, and components in the rear suspension are identical between the V6 and V8. Same Coil Bucket on the bottom, same spring spacer on the top. (I checked both OEM and Aftermarket parts sources and diagrams from OE).
