I plan to lift my 87 pathfinder 6 inchs (3bl + 3sl). I was wondering if there is anything else i can do to lift this beast besides a trailmaster kit. I know with the ifs it limits this truck to almost nothing but checking to see if anyone has come up with any good ideas.

Thx,
Denis

WHEN MY TRUCK WAS A 6" LIFT IT WORKED AWSOME I WOULD GO WITH THE SAME IDEA YOUR DOING AND 33" TIRES BUT IT YOU WANT TO GET STUPID DO WHAT I DID AND SOLID AXLE SWAP IT AND ADD LIKE 15" OF LIFT WITH 36" TIRES

P.S.
YOU NEED TO DO SOME INNER FENDER TRIMMING TO THE TRUCK TO FIT THE TIRES WITHOUT RUBBING.

Thx for the feed back man. My first plan was to go with the 33"s but im looking into 35"s now. I know a guy in arizona thats running 35"s with the 3+3 lift and had to trim the fenders down. Claims it works well. How hard was it to do that SAS swap and was it costly?

Thx,
Denis

i know lots of guys running the 3 bl and 3 sl and they can't fit 35" without lots of rubbing. e-mail the pic of the guy doing that maybe hes got some trick AKA Fender trimming.
