Good website to look at different stuff.
Those Amada Extreme shocks look sweet but no protection on the shaft is a bit keen isn't it?

I have not heard of the Oztec shocks mate. I run the Amada Extreme Remote Res shocks on the GQ and reckon they are great!!
Its a Nissan! =====> Its a Keeper!! ....... Got a TD42 in it BONUS!!....... I'm a lucky bugger! I've got 2 of em!
Check out my Toy --> MudRunnerTD's GQ From the Ground 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.
WARNING: Towballs used for recoveries can, and do kill people and damage property.
Why don't you lower it 3" Mark, put a set of 22's on a drive around ?? I got a grinder to chop the springs???? Its not like you go off rd anyway........
I've seen nothing but great things about the Amada shocks and they'll be on my list when i eventually do my suspension. My shocks are noisy as and they've ruined my tyres lol
Your a smartarse George. Its called having other things in life that get in the way on my fun...
Wanna bet... Hang on! Everytime I go out your not there so shut ya trap bucko'!
So I have gone against the grain and ordered 3inch Flexy coils and adjustable upper arms from Suspension stuff. After a long winded chat with them I am happy with my purchase. I just bloody hope they get here in time to put in. I need to get drop boxes, shockers and panhards now. The lower control arms I discussed with Suspension stuff and they said its borderline when on a 3inch whether you need them or not. So I might leave them for now, get it all in, go for a spin next weekend and test it out. Then after that I will go either standard or plus 10mm in a stronger arm.
As for shockers, the said the Amada's are the goods but do give a harsher ride on the black top. As its not a full time 4wd (shut up George!) they advised on the Tough dog 45mm adjustables. But hey said these don't like heat too much and sand driving and long corrugated roads will shorten the life of them. But for high country he said they will be good.
Lets hope they get here in time...
Got my 35's today too.
They're messive bro!

I'm surprised no one has pulled you up about felxies. I've read heaps were they have sagged after a short life..
Then you get me and Darren running ome constant rate springs and they barely sagged after a good life and workout..
Anyway keep us informed as it all helps.
Cheers

Yeah well they reckon they won't sag any quicker than conventionals but we will find out. If they do then so be it I have made the wrong choice but they will be a crap load better than whats in there now so I will enjoy it. 2inch OME with 30mm spacers and it sits at the same height as it did when the suspension was installed new without the spacers...Too late to talk me out of it anyhow as I have paid and they are on their way.... Maybe its time to put my flame proof suit on you think? Lol. Like I said I happy with my purchase, albeit a bloody expensive one...
