Torsion

1) Crawl under truck 2) Find torsion bar mount 3) Tighten bolts evenly

That it!

you can get about 2" on the pathfinders. the ride will get stiffer but it's not bad.

You might want to look at the negative affects from doing that,some lift companys  such as superlift make kits for doing it with out having the bad side affects.They make one for nissan 720's and hard body's

Finding a set of torsion bar keys might help too but remember the negative effects of it. like a stiffer ride, and it will throw your alignment out of whack.

A important tip here, if you choose to crank them a bit, it goes better if you jack up front end and unload Tbars a bit and spray some lube on bolts too before you turn them.

if you go to calmini they sell bigger and stronger torsion bars at the the maxe 1.5inches for atock if you get calmini you can get 3inches. also you can get bigger upper control arms to get 1.5-3inches of list. either way is good. also if you tighten torsion bars all the way then you cant get all the flex in the ifs.  
CHEVY ALL THE WAY!

All the upper control arms do in a Pathfinder is make it so you can allign the front end after cranking the  t-bars, you don't actually 'gain' more lift from them.
