i'm pretty sure that all the nuts are captive on a gu which is good if you can find 2" longer bolts with the same thread.
just look under the bonnet and see what goes from the body to the chassis or drive train most likely a longer clutch line, brake lines and maybe your shroud around you fan.
might need to cut the floor around the low range lever as i know in a gq it hits the floor.
nissan 98 gu 5" lift 37 creepys, 80%reduction gears, front locker and a gen3 and no money.

the only time I've seen people doing body lifts on gu Utes was 30mm to gain enough room to put bolt on sliders. A suspension lift is always going to achieve more. Body lift is a last resort for the main purpose of Tyre fitting. It wont do any damage to the cab so long as is plated neoprene or alloy.

it baffles me why you read all the people on patrol forum, "WHAT 5-6-7-8 INCH LIFT SHOULD I GET TO RUN 35's".. they think they are driving Morris 1100's..
