2" or 3" what's better to fit if running 33's

[ThomasWatson]

Hey all just trying to decide what lift I want I can get a 3" king spring with amada shocks for $895 that includes brake lines and castor correction bushes

Just don't know what to get

[growler2058]

2" will fit 35's

[Bloodyaussie]

2inch with 33's no problem at all... once you go to 3 inch then you need to start looking at spending more on lots of other crap!!!!

2 inch is a far simpler lift as you only need springs and shocks.

3 inch gets you into caster correction, sway bar extention links, possibly panhard bars, longer diff breathers, possible extended brake lines

I ordered 3" with everything

[ThomasWatson]

As it was cheaper and in the long run I want to run 35s just want the clearance

[MudRunnerTD]

Reconsider the caster correction bushes as they are junk and your way better leaving the Nissan rubber bushes in place. Buy bolt in 3" drop boxes for the win mate.

[ThomasWatson]

Is it worth getting this order cancelled as it doesn't come with much looking over the fine print and getting a 2" kit from suspension stuff

[MudRunnerTD]

I assume the Amadas in the kit are Not the remote res units?

The 3" kit will need

Shocks
Springs
Brake lines
Sway bar extensions
Some kind of caster correction.
Diff breather extensions.

[ThomasWatson]

Okay so I can send a message to them and say don't cancel it can you supply sway bar extensions

[ThomasWatson]

Do I need a brake bias bracket?

[ThomasWatson]

Do I need a brake bias bracket?

Not for 2 inch lift, as there is enough adjustment.

For 3 inch lift, you should, but you can get away without it and nothing will break, but you may notice a change in brake performance

... Patrolapart keeps a nice solid zinc plated one on stock

Ordered one from there last night $25 can't complain :)

Apart from other complexities with a 3" lift, there are some definite legality issues in all States now.
If you exceed 50mm in total lift, you need to have your car engineered by a "licensed certifier"
This can set you back $400 - $500 easily but the upside is that if God forbid, you are involved in a fatality and the Coppers bring out their measuring tapes, you won't be in the deep hole you otherwise could be.
My car has a 50mm OME kit in it plus another 40-odd millimetres in the tyres and the certification cost me $400
