Maybe, except that piece goes inside the coil. I'm thinking of using vacumn tubing just on the bottom coil or trying the one for the Maxima and trimming any extra...it's dumb.

Doesn't show there...it's supposed to be on the bottom of the spring, a rubber doughnut!

Help! Front spring coil insulator!!

So I'm installing my new Dobinson's suspension when I come accross this little note-"please reuse your front coil lower insulator" This of course throws a bug monkey wrench into my work-I have to completely disassemble the front shock assembly to pull out a worn out 100k+ miles piece of ru...

update

So I ordered the kit plus a pair of new Dobinsons Strut Top Plates today...should be here in a week! Will post pictures of the install and the before and after height difference. With the 2005 and 2 inch lift I should not need the camber kit riiight? https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01LZ23BZC/ref=...

Dobinsons 2 inch lift kit

Yeah, I did some research and they've been around since the 50s! Have garages all over Australia and have some cool looking sponsored rigs. I think I'm going to be the guinea pig and try them out. The only weird thing I found was their warranty on the shocks is voided if you change your exhaust...co...

That's one of the things that threw me off...the website says they recomend obly a 2 inch lift so do you really need to swap out the UCA for that? I'm leaning towards the Radflos upfront with Bilsteins in the back and 4x4 rear springs. From all the threads I've seen it seems the most successful.

OME warning about no warranty on lift kits.

Yes, another newbie to the Pathy. Replaced my venerable 1997 Montero with a 2005 Nissan Pathfinder LE. I had OME on my Montero and on my previous Discovery so I automatically went to Rocky Road Outfitters for my pathfinder...but then I saw the disclaimer. Is that accurate for the 05? I thought it wa...
