JUST WONDERING, I HAVE LIFTED MY GU 3" AND HAVE BEEN TOLD I HAVE TO EXTEND THE BRACKET BUT HOW MUCH BY???
IS IT AS SIMPLE AS EXTENDING IT 3" OR IS IT MORE COMPLICATED THAN THAT???
HAVE ALSO BEEN TOLD THE SPRING SHOULD MEASURE BETWEEN 175MM AND 178MM END TO END.
ANY HELP ON THIS WOULD BE APPRECIATED.

afaik just extend the bracket by 3".

we have a couple of navvara utes that have had the springs reworked which raised the rear ~2". i havn't noticed any change in braking and the springs guys said the nissans are not that fussy with the load sensing valve. no where near as touchy as most toyota's.

It should basically be horizontal, so not on an angle as it may be after the lift, just extend the bracket by the same amount as the lift, but bear in mind your lift will settle a bit and drop a little....hope that helps anyway.
