    I want to run larger tyres. Any idea what the length of an 80 series bumpstop is when compressed ?

    Running larger tyres won't affect your bump stop needs in any way at all.
    The only reason you would get your bump stops is if you were running extra long shocks beyond your spring lift. ie. 6" shocks and 4" Springs.

    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.

    It can if your worried about scrubbing. Helps a bit on the rear for this reason but the front should be fine with out due to its different setup to the rear.

    agree. maybe look at swapping the rims for a bigger offset for the big tyres if your looking to run 2 sets?
