What are the pros, cons, and cost of a lifted Nissan?
I want to start going on more off-roading trips, but my Pathfinder sits a bit too low for my comfort. What are the pros, cons, and cost of a lifted Nissan?

Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
Ground clearance is increased | Handling ability is decreased |
Increased visibility | Increased problem getting into the vehicle |
Ability to fit larger rims/tires | Added weight results in poorer gas mileage |
Aesthetic appeal (it just looks great!) | Costs to install and maintain (lift kits for a Pathfinder, for instance, start at around $225—without specialized tools or installation. |
Note: If your Pathfinder is still under warranty, installing a lift kit may just void it. Be sure to check!
You may also want to visit some off-roading websites/discussion boards to find recommendations about how much to lift your SUV.
Best of luck getting your Nissan ready for off-roading adventures!
It takes time to find just the right lift kit for your Nissan and have it installed. First, you’ll need to research brands and costs, and then you’ll need to find a reliable mechanic to do the installation.
