Ok,hi,
Ive currently got a 91 hilux and its got a 2"body lift and 3" ext shackles,My leafs have gone completely flat soo im going to chuck a set of 3" leafs and 2 inch suspension blocks under her,
Should i do this?will it make it too prone to rollover easily?will i run into any trouble doing this(apart from brake lines)??

Oh and does anyone know where i can get a sorta nudge bar thing(i cant for the life off me remember what there called)but its only half of a bull bar sorta thing,it goes where a bumper would go.....anyone know where to get one?(apart from the snake racing one)...

cheers and sorry for the stupidity off the q's

mate i have a similar lift in my hilux about 3 to 4 inch suspension i ended up having to get the front shaft extended it was dropping out under full flex. as for the bullbar i got a tjm bullbar of a hilux from the wreckers and cut the outside two bars off to leave like a full nudge bar it looks pretty good off the ute have not fitted yet.

2" lift blocks in addition to a 3" spring lift and 2" body lift and extended shackles?? That's going to be really high. Think you might be better off with just the lift springs and leave out the lift blocks. Lift blocks under front springs are probably illegal in Australia as well since they're not the safest things to put in the front end.

yeah lift blocks are a dumb idea. I can send you an article from a USA 4wding mag showing the forces at work when you corner and brake and why lift blocks are dangerous in these circumstances.
