Hey Fellas.

I am new to the Nissan Area after coming over from Toyota a couple of weeks ago.
I have a 1996 GQ coil Cab ute.

Just looking for some Advice, I want to put a 6" Suspension Lift in it, To fit 35's and 37's.
This does not get driven on the road much, Only to and from Tracks etc.

Just wanting to know what Coils you guys reccomend, I am mainly looking for Flex, Not Much load is ever going to be in the back. And I was thinking If I ever do decide to put a load in the back I will get Polyairs.

But for now I am searching for Flexy coils to suit a 6" Lift. What Type or Brand etc.

Any Help is Much appreciated.

Thanks
Jono

You know what you want out of your truck but i recommend only going 4-5 inch lift, you can easily fit 37's with a little work.
At the end of the day you will get your truck on more off camber hills than the next guy with a 6 inch lift and when driving straight over obstacles it comes down to wheel placement so you dont need a huge lift just some driving skill.

Your choice at the end of the day but i am sure most guys here will agree with me , and you will also have less chance of getting pinged by the transport dept. ;)

wouldnt waste time going 6" lift mate there's not much need apart from wank factor..3" - 4" lift is suitable for most applications and a shitload more stable IMHO :finger:

If you are looking for flex get a set of flexy coils from suspention stuff. I have 4-5" coils you don't need to go any higher flexy coils will give you plenty of flex if mached with the right shock if you still thinck you need more lift you are better off to do a body lift

That's all that's in mine, 5 inch coils, 2 inch body with 36's. It'll go just about anywhere

I did however take the passenger front radius arm bolt out to get the front to flex so well tho.

we had a chat with the happyrock DOT inspector and the police, and they pretty much confirmed their blitz is still on. So dont be bringing your trucks here unless you have 2" lift or less and standard tyres. Superior and Snake suspension bits (ex springs) got special mentions for being illegal for any road use. My car is in hiding for a bit longer i think

Hell yeah, I live at BI and do not travel to Gladdie unless I really have to. Just as well I live AND work out here.
