A suspension modification designed to elevate the chassis of a specific vehicle model, the 1995 Nissan Pathfinder, from its factory ride height. This aftermarket assembly typically includes components such as coil springs, strut spacers, or lift blocks intended to increase ground clearance and accommodate larger tires. This type of upgrade alters the vehicle’s stance and its capabilities both on and off paved surfaces.
The motivations for installing such a system range from enhanced off-road performance to a desire for a more aggressive aesthetic. Increased ground clearance allows the vehicle to navigate more challenging terrain, reducing the risk of undercarriage damage. Furthermore, the ability to mount larger tires improves traction and provides a more commanding presence. The historical context of such modifications lies within the broader realm of vehicle customization and the pursuit of improved performance characteristics tailored to individual needs.
