    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.

    Pretty sure Beneboy run the Hybrid arms. If I was going to spend the money on the Superflex it would be the Hybrid arms for sure.

    Also mate why do you want to go a 4-5 inch lift? Iwas looking at this exact same kit but was struggling with the price. After talking to others I decided to go with a three inch lift and am more than happy. Cost a hell of a lot less. A four inch lift and 35's is a huge car and the police are doing a bit of a crack down on such things. I run old (time for new ones) 31 inch tyres on the road and have a set of 35's centipedes for fun. Food for thought.

    Yes that is a decent question. My GQ does not leave my yard unless I am going to use it. Most of the time I prefer to use it in the dark and I avoid the road as much as possible to avoid scrutiny. A decent 3" lift with drop boxes and Amadas will perform amazingly.

    With the 35's and a three inch I haven't been hung up yet. Save the money on the lift and get a front locka. I used to get people ask me what is done to my car before the lift and I'd say its totally stock with highway tyres and twin locked and they couldn't believe the places I'd get. Small lift, big tyres and a locka or two and you'll love it.
