    By the numbers above thats all it is.

    Standard has 200mm of travel
    Fox has 215mm
    Superior has 223mm.

    8" is only 200mm.

    Well superior 3" shock is shorter lol..
    Ok I'm sorted..
    The superior is much closer to stock closed length. Meaning very little or no bump mods. The fox may require them to be extended a little.

    I think there are a few different sizes between models
    Just found one saying 320-520.
    Still 200mm.
    Bloody hell..
    Maybe should have gone 10" fronts lol..
    Na would have needed the tower near the bonnet to run that length..

    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.
