Nobody has asked yet if you are carrying weight or standard truck.
Factory springs are soft and will sag very quickly. Mine were stuffed in under 6 months. Ring Zordos I am sure John will have some behind his shed that are better than factory and probably free.

You can buy the chassis mounts from Nissan for about $80 I think. One of mine got welded on crooked and have been having lots of vibration issues.

I did a td42 conversion on my GU hand grenade and need a hand throttle kit. Any help would be greatly received.

Not to hard, 2 drop downs from collumn that hold a pivot point and bar. flexijoints bolted to the pedals and a rod going to the bar. Got hand controls in my dads patrol.
thanks mate - the factory GU td42 has a hand throttle from factory - looking to use original parts if I can to keep it easy. I think I need a td42 pedal also because I can't see where my ex-zd30 pedal has any point to mount the extra cable.

Have you purchased a set or still looking? I am about to begin making a set for my 2008 ST if interested we could work something out! Cheers Ben
Hey nissannewby yeah man doing it myself it will be my third set of springs i've done other ones on other cars tho.
Owen1200, i have a set of draws and a fridge in the back but the main sag come along when i hooked up my jayco outback caravan so in the long term i will be getting a heavy duty 2" lift for it when i can save enough and the boss lets me buy it
2000 GUII 3.0td, Narva spotlights, blackwidow draws, GME uhf, turbo timer, 60lt waeco, 32" at, snorkle

standard springs are designed to take the kids to school. If you are carrying a couple hundred kgs in the back plus another couple hundred kgs of trailer, it will be a waste of time getting standard springs.
There are always people with heavier springs they don't want, and if you ring Zordos Suspension, I am sure John will have some half knackered 2" springs laying around, which will allow your truck to ride level but also carry a bit of extra weight.
the other option is airbags, however, you will lose a little up-travel and therefore not my recommendation.
Also, GQ springs will fit as well. GQ springs are the same, except the GQ weighs less, so they sit up a bit. 2" springs off a GQ qill be 1.5" in a GU, and you may not have to change the shocks right away.
Owen.

Whoops,
Forgot about this ad, I have found and installed the new centre along with a "LOKKA".
Am I supposed to delete this somehow?
