    "suspension stuff flexy products"any advice or reviews, pictures

    I have seen a few posts about ss products but mainly only 2" flexy coils . is there any advice or information reviews on the bigger lifts like 4" and what shocks would you run with them as they have an extra 2-3" inches of flex . pictures and reveiws would be awesome.

    "suspension stuff flexy products"any advice or reviews, pictures

    I have only recently fitted 4" flexy coils to the rear of my GQ, I didn't get a good chance to test them due to a back injury soon after fitting them. I did flex them up once and was really happy, I have got 6" rear shocks and the springs were no where near to coming out. I will give a better review in a few weeks once I am out of hospital and get a chance to drive the patrol a bit more.

    you wont really need bigger in the front unless you are running superflex arms.

    I have a 4inch lift with superflex arms and started out with 12in, then dropped to 11in and my latest set (when they finally arrive grrrr) is down again to 10in basically I still didnt use the full shock and the longer shock affected my up travel that why I down graded.

    The rear is a different story I you want to modify your bump stops and use coil retainers and drop out cones you can fit a shock with a decent amount of travel. I have managed to fit a 14in travel shock in the rear without too much drama.

    The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

    Had a search and couldn't find an answer. Has anyone installed a flexi kit themselves? I have access to a forklift but my question is with getting the new front coils in. Do I need to compress them or once I disconnect the brake line and breather will I be able to simply lift the front of the truck high enough to slip the coils in? Thought Id ask before I damage something.
    Thanks in advance.
