To all the patrol 'e-seers' out there, what front & rear nissan independant suspension (that includes the entire system [axles, staberliser arms, etc.])can be fitted to the MQ 160 chassis, whtout to much mods? Thanks

None without major modifaction.
Coil spigns have been done but its a lot of work - cheaper to go to a GQ
1991 GQ LWB 4.2 Carby dual fuel, 32 mud claws, 2 inch lift, LSD's front and back
And its Toooooooo High for the Ball & chain
Prophet1,
There is a company here in Australia called Outback Suspension in Croydon, Vic who add coils to the middle of the leaf springs.
I did it with mine and it rode quite well.
Look them up on the Net and take a look at their stuff. They may send you a kit for you to install yourself

GU PATROL 2011 Ti, with goodies...
I had POLY air bags on my back springs - helped a bit with the ride- the gq is far better

Iv bin told getting extended leaf suspension will help improve the ride. dunno if this helps
Thanks, but tried that and it is one hell of a hard ride ...
Many thanks, I will look today and let you know. Rgds
Too costly,many have tried, not many have succeeded
The price a GQ can be had for, its a far better alternative
New shocks,pins,bushes,nice spring packs can be fine , but its a commercial based 4x4 ,not a sports car
There designed to rattle the false teeth out,thats the fun bit
