I had to cut the heads off the rear bolts and airhammer them out. Found out later that the factory welded the rear bolts, no wonder they were hard to get out. I thought they were just rusted in. HUH? Are you in the wrong thread or something? He was talking about how hard it was to get the body bolts out, just sharing my exsperience with body bolts on the Monster Suburban. Was wondering if they welded in the body bolts on the Pathfinder? Guess I should have put a lttle more info down, was drinking a lot of Bloody Marys last night...lol.

Well the 3" bl is in one of the guys I work with called while I was working on it and asked what I was up to I told him I was working on the pathfinder he showed up to help and brought a half gallon of captain morgans with him, So After we got it in I was a little to drunk to post anything lol. I still have to do the rear bumper and get the 4wd shifter to go into 4 low it hits the body right now. But it is in. It clears the 32's by far now think i will have to do a little trimming on the front of the rear fenders to clear the 33's but have to get them mounted to figure out how much.

did ya get any better turning radius? that's my biggest gripe about ours. Mine has always had a better turning radius then yours. Mine came off the line with 265 tires yours had 31s. On the pathfinders that came with 31's they limited the turning radius so the tires would not rub. I believe there is a way to change it but I would have to look into it more, I only looked as far as finding mine was one with the better turning radius. but if you change it without lifting it your tires will rub.

I think they have limiter stop bolts that you can adjust on the lower control arms.

If you are going to lift her's I will give you a hand if you need it, I have to say the suspension lift was a easy job. The body lift was the most complicated body lift i have ever done or seen done it is a pain in the azz. If you do decide to do a suspension lift on it talk to me first as in researching it I found some of the kits don't work that well while others work great.
