A must ... 3 degree bushes mate or your truck will behave like a second hand woollies trolley on the road!!! lol
Can get away with 2" without them (just), but higher than that means caster correction for sure mate.

We had to put plates in to lower the transfer case and auto on our shorty (3 inch sus lift and 2 inch body lift) as the vibration just drove us nuts we got the plates from opposite lock cant remember the price
Theres only one thing tougher than my truck............. YES DEAR GOING TO DO THE LAWNS NOW

Bolt in Drop boxes is the fix. does the spacing for the gearbox and transfer and also sorts out the caster and keeps the Nissan radius bushes. Big Fan
I have some of these on the GUIV and have Superiors on teh GQ. These are HEAPS easier to fit as they are straight bolt up and NO Cuttoing is needed.

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.

Like mudrunner said. Drop boxes will space your gearbox down and fix your caster at the same time. Well with the money in my opinion.

I know this is a grave dig ( i didn't do it ,lol) but have you still got these on a GU mate ?
If so could you post up a pic of what they look like on the car (please), id like to see if they look "obvious" or would attract unwanted attention !

No Problem at all. They are near invisible i think and you'd have to be bloody switched on to pick them in a crowd.
I have never been hassled for Drop Boxes on either car and i Love em!
I will have to take a pic tomorrow and post it up for you.
