    Spot on. Both upper and lower control arms should be changed if you going to a 4inch lift. And drop boxes are much better than offset bushes.

    If I was forced go choose I'd fit ironman but honestly I would never even get a quote for either of those kits. Save some more now and benefit for the long term from a better platform.

    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.

    Hey @Avo I also have WCS on my wagon which is why I suggested them. Very happy. My negative comments were directed at the show staff, not the product. Sorry if I mislead anyone.

    Hey guys

    What brand drop boxes would I be best to get? I like the look of superior engineering ones, but they are 400 bucks. (http://www.superiorengineering.com.a...filter=130,355)

    I can get some from roadrunneroffroad for $269. (http://www.roadrunneroffroad.com.au/...to-5-lift.html)

    Should I get Superior fixed upper and lower control arms or adjustable?

    My front bumpstops are completely shagged too, so I probably need some more of those to go with the lift. Does anyone know where I could get some brand new 80 series ones cheap?

    Cheers

    Road runner ones will be fine. I think mine are from there... Get adjustable upper rear arms and fixed lower. For my GU wagon I got 10mm longer lower rears. But adjustable uppers so I could adjust the pinion angle exactly.
