There is nothing made specifically for the Pathfinder. So you will have to adapt something.

my advice....

Shock hoops should not be purchased until you know what kind of travel you can get and and what kind of shock (compressed/extendended) you will use. Then you will know if they work with your setup.

FYI...this is just my guess...these shock hoops are not tall enough for your needs. I could be wrong...but why take the chance.

Measure twice...cut once....Bill

my fronts are 14". i built the upper mounts after i was basically done, so i when the axle is stuffed all the way the shocks are all the way compressed. i admit that much of this was the result of good guesswork on my part. as far as droop, well my driveshaft blew up before the axle out-drooped the shocks, so i'm not really sure. basically i juest guessed on all of it, which is why i am 2wd again. shocks and shock hoops should be one of that last things you buy, after you know what you need based on how far the axle moves.

Could you post a link?

My Trail Gear hoops came today, there's no way in hell I could've made them for $60 and I get metal at cost! They're definitely going to require some inner fender choppage, but are very high quality, light but strong, great welds, look awesome, can't wait to put them on!
