If you want to do it properly. Or, just buy a decent two kit. 3 inch just seems a waste of time.
    I have a 3" lift under my GU and its a great height. Enough room to run 35s without too many issues. Doesnt stand out. Enough lift to get the drop boxes in as a 2" lift your stuck with bushes only. You dont need to change rear trailing arms at all on a 3". I would change out the lowers for HD standard length though which i have done. You can get away with standard panards to if you want.

    4" then absolutely do need adjustable panards front and rear and Upper trailing arm adjustment added to the list.

    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.

    How much flex can you get out of a 2 inch compared to a 4 inch

    What ever you want to install on either. It depends on how well you want it to perform, how much fabrication you are willing to do, I like have heaps of flex on my ute. I like it to drive nice too.

    My Iron-man 4" Lift kit(Coils, shocks, adjustable panhard rods, extended brke lines, castor plates, sway bar links, all rear trailing arms, and abrake proportioning valve bracket) Cost me 2500$ total, because at the 4wd show, one of the guys at the stall accidentally gave me the wrong price.
    I used the quote he gave me as proof, and only got charged 2500. I have since installed extended bump-stops, a extra heavy duty roadsafe draglink and tough dog XHD steering damper so that takes it up to about 3200.

    I am very happy with my suspension. It has heaps of flex and is more comfortable to ride in than standard. A funny thing is the rear right swaybar link had a bolt come out, and when you plant it in second on a hard corner, the front left wheel comes a good 200mm of the ground!
    But because of this I get more flex, so I still havent got it fitted.

    The only gripe I have is te rer trailing rms. they are iroman ones and they are SHIT. Never buy them people.

    Cheers
