Would you be able to do both the PGR mini and the OME springs? just a thought. I dont know if they were compatible or not.

I don't think you would be able to get the alignment back in to specs if you did both the PGR mini lift and the OME springs.

You might run into other issues with the drive line going that high also.

Here is where I got mine and its free shipping.

I know it doesnt say pathfinder but they are all the same suspension up front.

This is kinda off topic, but I was looking at the picture of that beefy Honda Pilot spring and you would think that Honda could actually make a really good off road vehicle, similar to the quality that their atv's and utility vehicles are. They make damn good four wheelers and dirtbikes, seems like they could utilize some of that off road knowledge towards their suv's and trucks.

I've started my project.

Here's the new thread.

How are the 1" springs? Im getting the bilstein 5100 to lift the front about 1.5" and wanted to lift the rear about an inch. Im getting bilstien HD shocks out back. How do you think it will ride?

The 1" OME springs ended up giving me 2 1/2" in the rear.

It should ride good, but low in the back. You will not get any lift out of the Bilstien HD rear shocks. You will need to get something like the Rancho Quick Lift spacers. They run about $70.

2.5" for the 1" springs... lol

My goal is to level out the pathfinder and be able to run 265/75 16's on the stock wheels.

Do you think setting the bilstein 5100 to 1.5" on the front and keeping the rear stock will be good for what im looking to do?

On my Pathfinder the rear was 1/2" higher than the front stock. If you leave the rear end stock than I wouldn't go more than 1" up front. I purchased some Rancho spacers for the rear of mine. I'm going to swap them out with the OME springs. The Rancho spacers are supposed to give the rear end 1 3/4 in lift vs the 2 1/2 I have now.

And you can run the 265/75R16's stock so 1" up front is more than enough.

I was out shopping in the past month & I have to say the Pilot looks great. I think it needs those springs because it is so damned heavy, thus the lousy mpg. Lots of negative reviews for the Pilot, and the thing doesn't even come with a spare. If they really want to get into the game, they need to think outside the box and come up with something unique, such as the Xterra or FJ. Then again, they would be targeting a very limited audience & not the average consumer. I'll be watching them in the next couple of years to see what crossover they bring to market, because I'm betting they have no choice but to follow everyone else in order to meet the new 2016 standards.

You can run those on a stock Pathfinder w/out a lift. If you just want to level it out a bit, throw in some spacers. If you actually want a lift, as in replacing the springs and shocks, then it might be a bit of a challenge reading through everything here and getting an answer that is "comfortable." A lot of us with the OME springs don't have any alignment problems, but there are a few who simply can't get remotely close to spec. So, did you just want to level the ride, replace everything, go for a functional lift or ??

My main goal is to have a leveled look and have good dd functionality since its my wife's suv. I drive it on the weekends to go camping and mild offroading.
Her shocks are shot and killing our tires at 90k miles so instead of getting some kyb or oem, I thought about getting the 5100 up front and HD shocks out back. We also need tires so thought id go a little taller with the 265/75 16's instead of the stock 265/70 16's.
Do you think that setup will be good?

If you don't have a problem with how your Pathfinder rides (when the shocks work), then your suggestion would work. Let me just say that when I bought mine & started making the daily commute to & from work, I was getting more pissed off by the minute. There are a number of dips and one set of railroad tracks near my office, and the stock suspension would bottom out in the rear constantly. Shocks won't stop that from happening, which is why I went with the beefier OME springs. Anyway, that's just my experience. If you haven't encountered any problems like that or similar, you should be fine with the shocks you mentioned. I'm actually running Monroe shocks in the rear of mine & they seem to do quite well (didn't have a choice-that was the only shock available to me in the entire city). They seem firmer than the OME shocks I had in the rear beforehand.

Thanks for the feedback. I have yet to bottom out even with 4 passangers so maybe I dont even "mildly offroad" it..lol

265/75/16 is the largest I would want to go on stock wheels right?
