Fitting Lift Questons
Hi all.
This weekend i plan on fitting the 3" lift to my car. Just wondering if i will be needing to compress the springs or ill be able to get enough clearance to put them in? I will have access to a hoist for the job 
hopefully that will make it a little nicer than rolling around on the ground. Also any other nasty suprises i'm in for?
Cheers

On a hoist you should be able to get springs in by just unbolting shocks , sway bar links and brake line t junction at diffs

Word of advice.
Don't do it under a carport or garage, which you won't be able to get out of, once the vehicle is lifted / standing taller.
Yes, it has happened.

If that happens just deflate the tyres, roll out, reinflate, drive away and find a new parking spot

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.

They say a silly question is better than a silly mistake so here it is. With the stabilizer bar release assembly still fitted what would i do with the link arms for the sway bar, do i need to ditch it for extended links?
cheers
