Alright, I'm now getting a little confused I want to do... What would be the cheapest and easiest way to lift my path 2" and still remain a smooth ride?madrock wrote:I haven't upgraded my rear shocks yet which is why the rear rides a bit stiff. The shorter shocks are limiting the travel. You could check on OME or Bilstein for the shocks.MDA225 wrote:What shocks would you recommend buying for the rear? Is there much, if any, difference in lift size between the two types of lifts?madrock wrote:The PRG kit is strictly the front and rear spacers with extended bump stops. It is recommended that you upgrade the rear shocks as well. IMO, the PRG kit is easier to install because you don't have the compress the front coils. However, upgrading to the Bilstein struts with the other setup will improve handling and ride comfort.
Both have their pros and cons. The important thing to remember is that anytime you lift a vehicle the ride quality will be more stiff no matter what setup you run. Example, setting the Bilstein 5100 at it's highest setting will stiffen the ride because adds pre-load.
Both are supposed to lift approximately 2" at the corners. It may be higher at first, but it SHOULD settle with a big emphasis on should.

PRG? OME? Bilstein? Rancho Quick Lift?
Guess the question wasn't as dumb a I thought it was... Didn't even think about alignment. Haven't heard great things about the Calmini and don't really want to shell out the money. But it sounds like that would be the only way to fit 33's under the Pathy.pawjr74 wrote:@ dmasini
If you combined the two lifts you would not be able to get the vehicle alignment into specs. Just going 2" the alignment specs are maxed out.
You could always go with the Calmini 5" lift. It drops the suspension mounting points down, lifting the vehcile, keeping the alignment specs the same.
