Suspension Confused, please help ...

Postby tcjensen1 » Sat May 04, 2013 12:52 pm

I'll try to put this in yes/no questions, so both you guys and I have clarity. Thx for any help!

1) do suspension spacers (like rear Rancho and PRG mini lift) cause the shocks to have to extend further than they would on just stock springs without spacers?

2) do Bilstein 5100's require taller springs to set the front suspension higher?

3) do Bilstein 5100's come as shocks only?

4) do Bilstein 5100's have a recommended spring rate and length range?

5) do the EMU front springs and shocks come as assembled struts?

6) do you think the OME heavy duty full suspension lift kit would be too rough for my spirited road driving, since all I haul is racing tires (for my car) and mountain bikes?

Break from yes/no...

What are the stock 2005 pathfinder spring rates?

What are the OME front and rear spring rates?

What is the maximum and minim spring rate recommended for Bilstein HD's?

What about for Bilstein 5100's?


My stock shocks are spent at 205,000 miles and I'm also bottoming out. Trying to find the perfect handling solution. Handling most important, but a small lift in addition would be cool :) thx!
