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.

Easy as mate. Trick is get a trolley jack and do left or right side first then the other side - easier than front then back or back then front. Also - rather than mucking around with disconnecting the brake line on the front (rear will be fine) just get a crowbar and lever the tee it is mounted to up a little (be gentle) and you will be right. Also - the tip with the bottle jack is a good one - but be careful!

for the front just pull the front bolt out of the radius arm (only one), disconnect the swaybar and shock, and it will drop enough that you wont need the bottle jack. You can jack up the radius arm after the wheel is back on to line it up easily!
Well, thats what I did on my mates and my dad patrols!

Just did this job myself. The rears are a lot easier than the front. The shocks were the hardest part. When you go to put the rear shocks on, put it on the bottom first. Then using brute force, you can then place the top of the shock into position.
Fronts springs are abit more difficult, but lots of good pointers here which I used and helped a lot. On the front shock, there is a small flat on the threaded section, I think it's a 6mm flat, I just used a shifter to stop the shock turning when undoing the nut.
