    2inch with 33's no problem at all... once you go to 3 inch then you need to start looking at spending more on lots of other crap!!!!

    2 inch is a far simpler lift as you only need springs and shocks.

    3 inch gets you into caster correction, sway bar extention links, possibly panhard bars, longer diff breathers, possible extended brake lines

    Reconsider the caster correction bushes as they are junk and your way better leaving the Nissan rubber bushes in place. Buy bolt in 3" drop boxes for the win mate.

    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.

    Is it worth getting this order cancelled as it doesn't come with much looking over the fine print and getting a 2" kit from suspension stuff

    I assume the Amadas in the kit are Not the remote res units?

    The 3" kit will need

    Shocks
    Springs
    Brake lines
    Sway bar extensions
    Some kind of caster correction.
    Diff breather extensions.
