    2" body lift, not suspension, beware!

    I don’t think you should lift your ‘body’ 2” John mate for the full plate jobbie. Generally only for utes mate. The ‘Boss’ wagon kits are great with no welding required either mate.

    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.

    Sorry, re-reading the original question that it is a Coil Cab Ute. The above Tower brace will go straight in and is all you need @547beast . That pic from MB is what you want mate. Spend the $300 you save on the suspension or buy HD lower Trailing arms or a HD Drag Link for in front of your diff with the saving.
