There is a fair bit of talk about big lifts and what's required.
Have a crack at the search bar and see what comes up.
I too would like to go 3" lift.
But there's a but.

Hey. Jordan,
Springs
Shocks
Brake line
Brake bias plate
Extend diff breathers
Caster correction of some kind (drop boxes for me)
You will have to remove your steering wheel and adjust it to a new centre.
All can be done in the driveway

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.

Yeah mate, just done the three inch lift thanks to mudrunners advice and all done in the driveway. No special tools and haven't done anything like it before. All pretty basic really. Just changed all that MR suggests above.

You will also need an adjustable drag link also to adjust your steering wheel back to centre too Mick.
