    yes with fancy pants seats, that hold you up in your seat, unlike Ben's where you sink into his bucket seats. LOL

    Hey Mic, my GUIV has a 3" Old Man Emu Comp spec setup. Drop boxes and no front sway bar. Love it.

    It will fit 35s without real trouble ( I did a very slight trim of the back of the front guard flares) and happy days. I have never ever been pulled over in the GU for any reason.

    A 3" lift you will not require adjustable panards so there is a saving of maybe $600 or more.

    3" looks like it should have come Like that from the factory. It's a Gem and does not look like a roller skate.. Perfect all rounder.
    Its a Nissan! =====> Its a Keeper!! ....... Got a TD42 in it BONUS!! ....... I'm a lucky bugger! I've got 2 of em!

    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.

    Thanks, I had a rethink after last night.
    And I think I will go the 3" lift.
    Just a matter of what to get.

    I would like to have a good chat with you.

    Not just because your removing the sway bar. have you still go the rear sway bar in? Did you fit the 4" lift? did you make any allowances for adjusting the bump stops then? Drop out cones will really depend on the open length of your rear shocks.
