New bump stops out of the back of an 80 series cruiser measure 150mm so will still have to pack them a little for safety margin.

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.

Yeah it's a bit tricky Brando, I might jack the car up on the weekend and sit the tyre down onto this bump stop and see how much it compresses before fitting them.
The Amadas are the third set of shocks into the back of this car after destroying the rear shocks twice with no bump stop mod.
The Amadas are expensive and I need to get this right.
Do you know how much they compress?

Down to just under 80mm!! The factory rear bump stops measure 70mm!
I need 160mm of protection!
These are being sold all over eBay as a great upgrade for a Nissan! Are they? I dont think so! Bugger it!

Maybe not much good to you as they are in Sydney: http://www.nepean-rubber.com.au/ but I'm sure if you rang than with your requirements they could do it. Not sure on cost though been a custom one off job
