    What are peoples thoughts.
    This is my advice mate, steer clear of the return to centre steering dampner they only put more pressure on your other steering components, you have been quoted with castor bushes so no drop boxes needed. You really want to use standard nissan rubber bushes and drop boxes instead of the castor bushes though. Also get rid of all those poly bushes they want you to buy. There really is no replacement for genuine rubber bushes in all cases. I doubt you need all those bushes to be replaced either. Transmission spacer is not required either. Personally I'd stay away from the shop that is trying to flog all that gear off to you. Also superior engineering gear is excellent stuff but a little pricey.

    I would go Superior Engineering over Opposite Lock, which ever one you chose, go drop boxes over castor correction for a 4" lift

    Darren, I think I have said this 2 you already, but please Ring the RTA Technical first and see what you legally need to do to have this mod. I believe you still only need and engineers certificate.

    Cheers

    The lift is waiting till tax time know as i used that money to buy the kids some motorbikes to take away with us and i can carry them in the new trailer i got to tow behind the gq.





    Some larger tyres and front locker will get me most places i need to go. The 60 is sold and will get half the money this week and the rest in a fortnite so the mods will soon start. Can get a spartan autolocker from locktup 4x4 for $485 but seen them on ebay for much less but will this fit? http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Spartan-L...ht_2000wt_1397
    Tyres will be first. I can get a set of 35's for my patrol for a similar price as new 33's. is it worth getting the larger tyres with a near standard car and not much lift?

    If you are going to sell the 2" kit, I'd be interested :-)
