AirLift 1000 Install on a Nissan Pathfinder

On this video I install AirLift 1000 Airbags to help out with bottoming out.

(price has gone up since
I bought mine)

Great video. One tip: you are supposed to fill the airbags BEFORE you load up the suspension (then reduce pressure as needed). They will still work the way you did it, but as you can see, your rig will still squat, filling the bags first prevents the squat.

[@algeradventures4891]

Steve47, Thank you i will have to try that next time load up.

[@mclehed77]

Yeesssss another pathfinder r51 video😁👍🏾

[@algeradventures4891]

mclehed77mtb, Thank you. I have slowed down on my up loads but their is definitely more to come. I just have to figure out my time situation.

[@mclehed77]

@@algeradventures4891 ok kool can't wait I have a 07

[@Jab_2023]

[@carloschavez7572]

Thanks man for your help your help a lot with Instructions

[@algeradventures4891]

I'm glad I was able to help and thank you for watching

[@weezerwookie]

certainly helped me, i think i'll be doing this for my 2017 nissan quest pulling our popup

[@algeradventures4891]

Awesome, it should help it level out some. We loved our pop-up and used it all the time.

[@weezerwookie]

@@algeradventures4891 thanks for the response. I think you mentioned it only gives 1/2" of lift, is that correct?

[@algeradventures4891]

Yes, but since then I have put a hockey puck in the coil bucket under the air bag and I now get just under an inch of lift when fully loaded

[@matthewmackenzie601]

Hey man, Great videos with great info! 👍 I've got a 2006 Pathy I'm looking to turn into a hunting buggy. If I install moog coils to get heavier suspension etc and and do the lift with the 2x2 steel square bars that you already did a video on should I bother with air bags? 🤔 thanks!

[@wolf2016.]

Dude thanks for the video.... Where did you buy the bolts for the lift as the pitch is 1.5 but long bolts not available at all.

[@hotmarvens2827]

Nissan Pathfinder cool😍😍😍😍😍💲💲💲💲💲⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡

[@barrybrown8695]

I just got my first 05 Nissan Pathfinder

[@algeradventures4891]

Awesome and congratulations, welcome to the PathySide

[@manulqmj6533]

Hi, nice video, helps me a lot because I also plan such modification ! Question : where did you get your mud guard flaps ?

[@algeradventures4891]

Manu Iqmj, I'm glad I can help. They are factory, they were on the vehicle when i got it.

[@ryandoobay4076]

just to clarify; the addition of the airbags to the suspension lifted the truck?

[@algeradventures4891]

Ryan Doobay, the air bags are to help your rear end not to squat as much when you have a load. So in away it lifts the suspension but not much over stock height

[@jonjonword6222]

I get a bit of lift on mine

[@tylerrupert452]

I’ve been thinking about getting this body style pathfinder. Atm I have a Honda Accord but want something bigger. What has been your experience with yours?

[@algeradventures4891]

Tyler Rupert, I love my Pathfinder. It is big enough for my family and dogs, it has a optional third row that folds down flat. The power train is in all of Nissan's mid size trucks. Its a very underestimated off road vehicle. I have not been disappointed in this vehicle, i wish i got one sooner.

[@tylerrupert452]

@@algeradventures4891 Thanks for the feedback man. I really appreciate it!

[@adam10532]

Great video....Can you leave them inflated ? Do they deflate over time on there own?

[@lapathfinderie1668]

Hi, what about your feedback 3 years later with this AirLift 1000 on your R51? Thanks in advance for any answer!

[@keithmuckchucker6468]

you supposed to run a separate valve for each side or else the air will move from side to side and can damage the airbag when on uneven ground or cornering

[@brandongoberdhan6335]

Awesome

[@1pdoggy]

Hey Danny! Questions for you. I have the same year and I have a bad problem with my Pathy pulling anytime I hit a crack or little pot hole in the road going over 50mpgs. I have changed out the shock absorbers and new tired but still. Even without towing. I bought these airlifts but I was curious to know if I can keep them inflated all the time?

[@algeradventures4891]

Yes you can, I leave them at about 15psi for normal daily driving

[@user-ks2ng2wn2y]

Cool! I hawe Pathfinder too, but I can do nothing anything like that with car, it's illegal!

[@algeradventures4891]

Where do you live, the Pathfinder is very capable stock it's just nice to get some added ground clearance

[@user-ks2ng2wn2y]

In Russia!

[@avidtint7199]

Question. You mentioned putting armada springs in? Would they give lift to the pathfinder or is it just a heavy duty spring?

[@algeradventures4891]

Juan Henriquez, they do both. Most people buy the Moog ones and cut about a inch of coil off to get a 2" lift and they are a heavier spring that can hold more weight

[@stephenmargetjak6989]

I wanted to ask you a question because you have done alot of suspension work on your pathfinder.I have a stock 2006 Pathfinder se 4x4 since new, 122,000 miles. I just replaced front struts and sway bar end links and sway bar bushing.I had a noise from front suspension before and figured it was the end links.We drove it for 100 miles and no noise.Now it started making noises from the front again. I retightened the sway bar bolts last night and my wife let me know it making type clunking noise from front but can't tell from where......any suggestions?

[@algeradventures4891]

Stephen Margetjak, that's what I would have started with too. If you think it's still coming from the sway bar links I would disconnect and remove the whole bar and links and drive it to see if it goes away. If you still have the noise then it could be the front arms since they are a rubber bushing that doesn't pivot they flex. If they are worn out the whole arm will move while the bushing stays put. And that could be any of the front uppers or lowers. Another thing it could be is the rear sway bar links and the sound is traveling down the frame and making it sound like it is coming from the front. Disconnecting the rear and driving it after you try the front would be easier to rule out the rear than trying to go right to the front arms. Let me know what you find.

[@PGXPPR]

If you have not found it yet it would guess bushings. I replaced my whole front end chasing a clunking noise and all I found was busted bushings

[@alenrosas]

Where did you get the T connector ?

[@marcusiya1915]

Ok i got it.. but if you use T line that work both bag so all together same 35psi both? Thanks

[@algeradventures4891]

yes sir

[@marcusiya1915]

Hi sir, just asking that airlift bag how much psi need to put in each bag? Thanks.

[@algeradventures4891]

I have them on one Schrader valve, i run about 15 psi for everyday running around and about 35 psi when loaded down

[@brownsrvlifecampground9322]

Cool

[@Elchamakiito69]

What size of tire u have in your Nissan

[@hhll2305]

Do the airbags rub against the coil and squeak?

[@algeradventures4891]

HH LL, I haven't herd any noise from my airbags and coils rubbing.

[@isacur1027]

Why do you decided to go with 2inch sub frame and not coil spring spacer I also have a pathfinder Iam looking for any ideas to lift it

[@algeradventures4891]

I wanted to show another option on how to lift the rear. I do plan on changing the rear springs out eventually for a lift spring

[@isacur1027]

Alger Adventures So I decided to go with the same set up that you have with the sub frame and a 2 1/2 inch lift on the front and after doing that I’m getting a lot of vibration when I get to 65 mph any ideas of what caused this did you had the same problem?

[@algeradventures4891]

Isacur1027 no I didn't have any vibrations sheet doing my lift. Is it in the steering wheel and did you get it aligned yet

[@algeradventures4891]

Did you rotate your tires will installing your lift

[@isacur1027]

Alger Adventures So I found out what the problem was there is a bracket with the hook that keeps the body to lifting from the suspension 😝 I totally forgot to take that barker off

[@Bedfordcustoms]

What are you getting for gas mileage with the 33's

[@algeradventures4891]

tylor Dedford, My display says that i average 14.8 mpg
