    I thought the 80 bump stops were going to be no good to you?

    Got sick of Motorculture so gone back to Tappa

    Yes by themselves they are too short.

    But. The Nissan base adds another 25mm plus the bump stop at 80mm fully compressed I had 105mm and needed 150mm total.

    The bump stops fully compressed at80mm had already taken a fair hit to compress to that though.

    So I made a bottom block and added it to the bump plate

    Looks sweet and a good combined length

    Now just need to check the front and flex her up!!

    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.

    Have you flexed it up yet? Is that lower bump stop wide enough, mine are the width of the factory plate and only just touch, If mine were that width they would miss

    Hmmmmm! Well that Sux! No and I will certainly be having a look when I get a chance mate.

    On straight down compression which I think is where most of the damage has happened I think they will be fine. Bloody Whoopdy Doos mate are a killer at speed.

    I'll let you know for sure mate

    I hate whoopdy doos! Was riding with my mate in his Daihatsu F20 and a whoopdy doo came out of nowhere, we got air big time and bounced back up on two wheels, back doors flew open and his stuff rolled out everywhere and we both had BIG headaches after that one. Was funny as FARK though!

    Yeah the bumpstops line up if the whole axle moves vertically as one. When one wheel compressors and the other extends they are out by a little bit.
