R50 Terrano Suspension

Post by mudbugga »

I am needing to replace the front struts soon, and thought I may as well throw the cat another goldfish and budgie.
But I'm struggling to find anyone that does a 1" - 2" lift. Not after anything extreme. Most suppliers I have spoken to only do 20-30mm lift springs and std height shocks/struts.
Anyone out there that can point me in the right direction please?

In the Dakar rally a few years back a team entered a nismo backed terrano/pathfinder but i doubt you could sorce any now...

this is the other option using standard shocks. IT would then keep your compression rate true to factory spec, then just use nissan patrol rear springs etc

you could also look at getting your hands on some after market titan shocks and springs then using your top hat.

You dont have many options. Longer springs cause the strut to top out if you get the wheels off the ground and I haven't seen any longer struts for these anywhere. Strut spacers are about the best option for the front. Rear should be easy to find some longer springs.
