Solid Axle Nissan Pathfinder Questions.

I have a 1991 pathfinder looking to go SAS. What axles do you recommend? I know d44 but from what donor? also I plan on doing leaf f/r. I am planning on either 33" tires or 35". what gearing do you recommend for both and what lift do you recommend as well?

thanks

either a 1980's wagoneer axle or ford high pinion if you want the width , if you want a hp but not the width you can cut down the pass side to the waggy length and use waggy axles on that side

awesome. thanks. So if I want HP i can use ford without cutting the axle housing? I got a guy that will sell me his f/r axles from a 73 ford truck. They should work?

yeah they will be wide on a pathfinder , i think the 73' came with drum up front and rear so you'd have to swap the fronts out to disk

i have a 74 housing with waggy outers on my truck

so waggy axles are closer to the pathy widths?

[penski61]

yeah , waggy's are 60.5  the pathfinders are 59"  the ford is  65-1/2
