    Measuring before lift kit.

    Hi,
    I've just been measuring the patrol height before I install my new 2 inch King springs and shocks into my GU 2.8L TD.
    I measured from the bottom of the 16 inch rim to the bottom of the guard.

    These were the results:

    Front left 775mm
    Front right 750mm

    Back left 760mm
    Back Right 750mm

    I am just wondering if that's normal to have the left side higher then the right? Anyone who hasn't lifted their patrol is that around the std heights?

    sagging due to the Drivers constant weight and also the Sub tank on that side. Dont be concerned mate, thats why your swapping it out.

    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.

    Hey thanks for your reply. I didn't think about the sub tank. The new springs should straighten it up

    Kano,
    It will always have a little variance, as the GU is no precision thing.

    A few mm difference will not affect the way it drives
    GU PATROL 2011 Ti, with goodies...
