    Break bias bracket?

    Just done the 3" lift on my gu, the kit I got came with a break bias bracket, should I be putting this in or, just leave it how it is? And also I'm happy to drive with no sway bars, since it Dosent body roll much,even with the 3" lift in it, but will this effect my coils, like make them sag or get weaker by not having sway bars on?

    yes put the brake bias bracket on otherwise you wont have effective braking especailly in emeergency situations and the same goes for the sway bars leave them on just get disconnects as if you happen to be in an accident when the cops look over your car and see they have been removed its a massive pineapple and your insurance company might not cover you.and if you have to swerve viciously it can unsettle the car too much and end up rolling M2cW

    Yes you should fit the brake bias plate to the rear to return the bias valve to standard spacings.

    I would encourage you to refit the rear sway bar at least. I run no sway bars on the GQ and am chasing a HD GU rear sway bar to fit to it at the moment. If I had one I would fit it.

    I don't run a front sway bar on the GUIV but do have the rear and its great mate. Definitely a great compromise.

    Running a rear sway bar also encourages the front to flex a little more as the back is a little restricted. we like front flex

    Did you go Drop Boxes mate?

    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 I'll see I'm not to keen on putting in sway bars since they will restrict my flex quite abit and even if I get disconnect links, when you relice them the sway bars swing down and will end up getting caught up ;p ..Unfortunatly... I'll se how I go anyways, worst case I still have my sway bars if I need them... And btw I would be happy to sell you my rear sway bar if your infested!? Nah mate dident go drop boxes, I already had the bushes in the kit so I just went with them...

    If you go disconnects then a quick few cable ties keeps everything tidy.

    And i think Mudrunner is chasing a HD rear sway bar, so if yours is HD then im sure he'd be infested lol

    Drop boxes are nice, ill be going them soon as i can start spending on the trol again lol

    You only need one disconnect on each bar. And a solid link on the other.
    You done need a completely floating bar but by releasing one end the bar and axle move separately.

    But when one side goes up the other must go down and there is the potential for it getting caught up on something

    I did my brake bias plate and noticed the difference and I've only got a 2"

    The stock unit floats inside the box, allowing 100ish mm of float. Easy to make one really..
