Dobinsons vs OME (or others) Suspension Upgrade
Posted: Thu Jun 27, 2019 10:51 pm
Got the wife a van so now I'm driving the pathfinder.
The ride feels soft to me in the rear and needs tires in the next 5k miles or so.
I like to drive on dirt roads, sometimes some light 4x4 stuff. Vehicles are paid off so I can put a couple grand into the pathfinder to keep me interested and away from the dealership for a couple years... I was thinking a small suspension lift and new tires are in order. Maybe a new front bumper as the plastic one on it now is pretty beat up.
Going off the reviews here and price (it's $70 less than OME kit I saw) I was thinking I'd get the Dobinson's kit:

While I'm in there, was thinking about replacing the control arms:

Any other stuff I should look out for? Tire suggestions?
I'm taking some time off work later this summer so will have some time to get it dialed in.
Thanks!
