No hate, it is all in jest. It is better to lay into you now, and let you know (a little harshly I know) then see you actually do it, and kill someone/yourself.

no, false information, you cannot add them to shocks, and the place people use them as body lifts. They dry out and break. Not a good combo. Body lifts are cheap, buy the kit.

If you wanna lift the Pathfinder get a set of mid-late 90's Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited With the v8 front coil springs, and place them in the rear of the pathy and crank the t-bars. Its known as the 3-4in JGC lift, cheap and easy.

EDIT.....Sorry didnt read ex-pathfinder, but for future pathy lifting^.

Yeah, but you have to get treated 4X4's so they don't rot! Can we start a "what questions not to ask section"?

I think you all got the wrong impression. Just so you know, I was not implying anything with the question. I guess I just wanted some interaction with something I said? HAHA! Just kidding. Well, that was fun.

To be fair, i think he might be refering to using hockey pucks for body lift spacers. Obviously still a bad idea (hell, i dont like any body lifts...), but not as absurd as some are assuming.

Thanks bud. It seems that body lifts are not so popular with quality? Why's that?

They are really popular! Its not so much a quality issue, i just dont like the idea of lifting my cab farther off the frame than it has to be. i prefer a suspension lift. BTW, dont use hockey pucks to do a body lift! lol, you can but a complete 3" body lift kit for $100 or so.
