looks good mate. i just put the exact same kit from 4wd stuff in my patrol last week and ive got no castor problems either without the new bushes installed, just needs a wheel alignment (not sure if any extra stress is caused without the new offset bushes?). what size tyres have you got on your car in the pics?

How much did the lift cost you? I am planning on buying myself a lift kit for Christmas, at present I have Koni Shocks with the stock nissan springs. I have spoken to Top Performance in vermont who do the distribution for Koni and they said that for me to get new springs and convert my shocks to long travel I would be looking at about $1000 all up for springs/shocks and fitting for a 2-3" lift. I thought that was a tad on the high side.

Why bother geting them installed.....it is that bloody easy to do! If you can bleed brakes you can change coils and shocks.

the springs and shocks were at a great price and delivered to my door from shane (4WD STUFF) they are good quality shocks and springs very happy with them so far talk to him he does good prices, peice of piss to install took me about an hour and a half, even tho im a mechanic still wouldnt be hard for your average job blo to fit.
