if youve got airbags you cant do it. other than that, buy the kit and it should come with the longer bolts you need.

mkDude,
Pretty easy to do in an arvo. 2 inch blocks are legal(nylon).
High tensile bolts 2" longer than the originals should do it :D
The 2 existiing body bolts under the radiator have captive nuts welded in.
Take the bolts out and drill out the nuts. drop the new bolts through the nuts
from the top and use nylocs. Same procedure for the 2 in the cab.
The rear 2 are straight forward.
You might have to lengthen the clutch line under the vehicle.....or at least loosen it up a bit ;) change radiator height, or take the shroud off,
remember to re-tighten the steering knuckle.
Post some before and after pics. Ive prolly missed a couple of things , but good luck anyways.

Why?

Just buy the correct bolts.

Nissan dont weld in the captive nuts for no reason.

I've had a body lift done in my GU and all original nuts were kept in pace and haven't had any problems.
