After eskies and lowering it with torsions and heated springs
http://infamousnissan.com/forum/picture.php?albumid=1254&pictureid=9371After titans and lowering it some more with torsions and correcting camber with upper control arm shims and traded old coil springs out with some mustang lowering coils

I picked this pathy and a fourwheel drive pathy up for eight hundred bucks, parted out the 4x4 for some extra cash and what i needed then scrapped the rest for some more cash. After all was said and done with the 4x4 i figure i prolly only gave 250 for this and a shit ton of extra goodies. I started out by putting in a cheap walmart system someone gave me then traded it for a set of eskies becausr it was just to loud for my babies. Right after i got the eskies and had some smaller tires mounted on them i lowered it probably four inches all the way around thats tire size and suspension. I rode it like that for around a year now i just got a set of 18" titans and did a lil work to make them fit and lowered it alot more to give it the stance its at now. I used torsion bars and mustang lowering coil springs in the rear. I have all the goodies necessary to bag it. (which were also given to me or laying around from previous builds) My biggest problem now is that i dont have access to a welder which is my biggest downfall. I just moved to a new city/state and dont really know anyone i can borrow one from so gonna have to wait it out and save and buy one which i need to do anyways. Hopefully ill be able to purchase one soon but its hard to save when you have three kids, but i will be slowly messing with the truck here and there and will be keeping updates on the site.

trust me...not having a welder is gonna be easiest part of bagging that. lol

looks like a clean lil 4dr though. good luck with it for sure. check out my 94 4dr build in my sig if you want.

Nothing on the mustang coils they are actually the same size inside diameter as the stock springs the load rate may be off a little but im not to worried about that because i dont really haul anything with it

Alright its beginning to warm up a little here in TN soooo i guess its time to start working on this thing! Starting last Sunday i started pulling my old transmission out because i lost my reverse, drive, and overdrive gears when i was living in AL. The mountains down there killed it!!! I got the old one out old torque converter off and pulled it all apart. Turns out the front seal went out and it slowly lost enough fluid that the crazy inclines on the mountains down there were starving the pump "im guessing" and thats why the gears went out. But now i bought a freshly rebuilt trans and have slowly began putting it back together. Ill put some pics up as soon as i can if i would have given it any thought ahead of time i would have done a "how to" just so we have one on here. I dont want to curse myself but MAYBE NEXT TIME! Lol but once i get this thing moving under its own power again hopefully ill soon begin dropping this biotch on the ground! If anything i hope to start on it this summer.

I'm new here, so I don't know to much about these trucks but what mustang springs did you get? I actually have a mustang with h&r springs that I wouldn't mind swapping out.

Thanks joecool! Detsoob i just used a pair of lowering springs i got from a guy im not sure of the brand but they were 2" lowering springs for the mustang. I got em for free so i used em. The inside diameter of the mustang springs and the factory pathy springs are the same dia. So they fit on the spring perches/cups whatever u call em and work great! I didnt have to do anything to the rear except swap them directly out and remove the huge ass bump stops
