    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.

    Take your measurements at full bump and full droop and go from there if you want more than coil drop outs, bump mods will most likely be required.

    I have 5' snake racing coils and 14' travel pro comp shocks. I suppose up travel doesnt bother me because of the lift but with a 2' you would notice. You can always lower you rear shock mount for more up travel but then again thats less lower. I have drop out cones and retainers and i still need to weld an extension on the cone to stop the spring coming out. If i was you i would just grab 4 inch shock and figure it out. Extend your bumpstops so they hit before the shock bottoms out too

    I know the 3 inch flexi coils can be safely matched with 6 inch shocks.
