after lift clearances

[doctahjones]

couple people wanted to know, so here it is.

front bilsteins are at 1.5in, not full 2in, rears are the 4x4parts.com medium springs (i think) and bilstein hd shocks. also running 285/65/18s on oem rims.


kinda lazy, only did the passenger side measurements.

front passenger from ground to top of wheel well - ~37in
rear passenger from ground to top of wheel well - ~37in
front of the rock slider - 14in
rear of the rock slider - ~15in
about at middle of frame rail - 12.5in
at oem transmission skid plate - 12in
at oil pan (i think?) skid plate - 10.5in

Doctahjones- thanks for sharing those measurements. it will be interesting to compare. I have the V6 as you may recall vs your V8. I also set the front Bilstein to the full 2" height where you did the 1.5" height. I am also on factory springs on all four corners.

I will post up my measurements for the sake of comparison.

Is that the measurement from the ground to here, in the center?

relatively. it's the lowest point in the center just behind the front axles. i mean i guess i could do a front measurement right under the axles if you wanted?

More interested in the front diff/center clearance.

Finally, decided to go out and take the measurements for comparison purposes. Sorry for taking so long.

The Vehicle Stats:
2011 Nissan Pathfinder, Silver V6.
Bilstein 5100 height adjustables on front, with factory springs, strut set to +2" height.
Bilstein 5100 rear shocks, factory springs, +1 3/4" lift spacers
BF Goodrich Long Trail Tires (Factory supplied) 265/65/17 (Overall tire height of 30.4" according to TireRack.com.)

The Measurements
Center of the OEM radiator skid plate - 10 5/8"
Front cross member behind oil pan (no oil pan skid plate) - 11 1/2"
Transfer case cross member - 12 3/8"
Front of frame rail where the transfer case cross member attaches - 12"
Rear of frame rail just prior to the upward curve in front of the rear wheel - 12 1/4"
Center of rear sway bar - 10 1/2"
Back side of rear differential housing below drain plug - 11 1/2"

Height at center of front wheel arch - 36" (This measurement was initially 36 3/4" immediately following installation of lift. Thus the suspension has settled 3/4" since install a couple of weeks ago.)

Height at center of rear wheel arch - 35 3/4" (This measurement has remained the same since lift installation.)
