MudRunnerTD's GQ From the Ground Up

So 100mm longer do you need to extend the front driveshaft or is this distance gain at the chassis end.

yes it is at the chassis end Mega.

If you have a look at this pic and note that the top mount is in line with the factory mount (in fact it connects to this position for strength) and the bottom mount is set 100mm back.

and here is a standard Superior Drop Box. the top mount is consistent between the two pics

yes. It was the best pic i could find showing the standard drop box location position for the rear joint of the radius arm. you can see that a standard drop box just drops the pivot only inline with the factory setup. the Hybrid that Bene has sorted pushes that back 100mm below the gearbox support.

Couldn't agree more. Just in my eyes the patrol setup is like a pin in a sleeve, the arm will rotate all day long allowing good axle rotation.
I do agree anything more than 2" lift and the bushes are out of there range, but that's when drop boxes come into play.
As for the toyo setup, the arms will swing up and down all day, but as soon as the arm tries to rotate its very limited buy the Bush and pin.
It's like putting a bolt threw that pin and sleeve, that pin is only going to rotate as much as the slop (the Bush) allows.
I'm sure I'm wrong, but in my eyes the Nissan pin setup with drop box is a better setup.

Ahh ok yep

I don't see this mod giving MR an increase in performance over what he has now.

Yeah I am not in a hurry to change much now I don't thnk. Keen to see Bene's long arms in the rear though. newby's definition above is spot on and the flex pic of my car on the previous page shows a car sitting nice and flat and level and fully crossed up! I like it. In the car I really had no idea that it had crossed up so much until I got out of the car to take a look. I smiled ;)
