Getting started earlier. The joint between the inner and outer tie rod has fought the most thus far.

Just took lunch, everything off, headed in the right direction. Side by side of springs, the new ones are slightly larger diameter steel.

Struts appeared to be original equipment. One done, one to go.

Re: Headed to the shop!
Well, I added oodles of height, will have to see how it drives and how long the old half-shafts last. I Iike the look, levels the car nicely. Now to get an alignment and put the wheels/tires on.

Re: Headed to the shop!
OK,
Based on old posts and some measurements I took over a year ago, here are the final results.
Pathfinder springs added to rear, Moog 81043 coil springs added in the front ($40/pr delivered).
old vs spec vs now
Front 8.5 vs 9.25 vs 10.38 (inches)
Rear 10.38 vs 10.75 vs 12.00 (inches)
If these numbers are right, I should still be in a reasonable range for the half-shafts. That would be great. I'll check again with the new wheels/tires (should add another 1+").
Love the new stance.
