You'll need to change everything basically, including cutting the guards to fit the tyres.

Can it be legal, so the vehicle doesn't get pulled over and canary papered? Does a lift that high need engineer's cert?

It would have to be engineered in WA to be legal. Don't know about other states ro where the OP is. Also 5" will require alingnment and some changes to keep the steering straight and the front wheels in the centre of the guards.
2005 GU IV ST 3.0. Snorkel. Roof rack. Awning. Spots. Welded I/C. Dual batteries & VSR. UHF. Barn door hinge extension. Roof top spot lights. Rear drawers. 2" lift. NADS. EGT and boost gauges. Trans temp and water temp gauges. Provent 200 catch can. Rear ladder
And crawling on the planet's face, some insects called the human race. Lost in time. And lost in space... and meaning.

It would never get Engineered. With enough guard cutting you will fit 37s under a 2" lifted GQ. Most comp guys run a 2" and 37s without trouble.

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.

Do you know how much they chop to achieve this?
I did 30mm on mine and would love to see how 37's sit, I know it will be tight but possible.
