    80's series ones spaced down. Not sure about legalities.

    Front or rear?

    80 series bump stops are 150mm long and are readily available on ebay with conversion plates to bolt straight into the back of a GU

    how long do you need?

    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.

    Correct me if im wrong, but dont the 80 series bump stops compress to a shorter length instead of being one solid unit like the patrols ? Do you need those adapter plates in that ebay link you posted for both the front and rear ? Also do you know if those shocker tower spacers are legal ?

    1. Yes the 80 Bump stops are progressive.

    2. Really depends what you actually want the bigger bump stops for? you have not told us yet

    3. you only need the adaptor plate to fit to the rear. they bolt straight into the front tower.

    4. No Idea If you dont have a Body Lift you may not have the room to fit them anyway
