2/3" lift for GQ wagon

[NissanGQ4.2]

there is lots of extras...depending if you want to do it properly or not............. and don't forget about making it legal 2, getting it engineered...........if your insured, are you insured with a lift.....

Not a real fan of Tough Dog adjustable shocks and the adjusting dial seems to cop a flogging and breaking off or just stop working.

brake lines, steering columns, gear shift levers, fuel fillers, wiring, offset castor bushes, may need to modify bullbar / rear bar.......the list can go on and on...

Steering column, gearshift levers, fuel fillers and modifying bullbars and rear bars is only necessary for body lifts.
For a 2 inch suspension lift you should only need springs, shocks and a small amount of castor correction.
3 inch suspension lifts may also require extended brake lines depending on the extended length of the shocks. 3" lift is border line whether you need adjustable panhards and drag link, and maybe adjustable rear control arms for diff angle correction.

Whether or not you need a spring compressor depends on the springs. A 2" flexi coil will probably need compressors, but a 3" constant rate coil may not.

Thanks Tony for the correction, done the 2inch body lift the same day as the 3inch suspension lift....

The procomp shocks on and offroad are pretty bloody great. I got them the next length longer for more travel. I cant complain about them. I have had these ones in for just over 2 years and they are still going great. Will NOT EVER touch toughdog or iron man shocks. Damaged caused by there faulty shocks.

Hi everyone i hope you have gone to the 4x4 monthly site and signed the petition about the new laws the NSW gov are trying to implement if they get this new law through we won,t have to worry about how big a lift were going to do we just won,t be able to lift our trucks at all!

Mate I am currently running Big Bore adjustable Tough Dogs but as soon as I can afford it I will be getting rid of them and coming back to this thread to decide as well, like you.
Sorry I can't be of any help at the moment mate.

Thanks Dogman, the more I here about Tough Dog the more I'm inclined to leave them alone.

I would like to thank all you members out there, it's you guys that have already tried stuff that makes our choices better!!!!!
