Big Patrol

Hi all

This week at Outdoor Auto we had a Coil cab nissan Patrol Ute come in for a 5inch lift.

We supplied the shocks and brake lines for the lift but we can also do the coils.

Also supplied by John was the lower and upper trailing arms for the rear Diff, Panhard Rods and Drop Boxes ( these are a new mount point for the front arms. )

I have done a few lifts in Patrols before but not over 2 inches, so it was very interesting and i did learn allot.

The Patrol went from this



to this



as you can see its a big difference.

You can see the difference in the shocks



in the pic you can see paper in the new shock, this is a bad photo copy saying you have to cut the bump stop plate on the back diff so the shocks clear it !!!!!



Also on any lift 4 inch and over you need to rotate the rear drive shaft so it will clear the cross member, that was an interesting feature.

We also had to add a 30mm coil spacer to the rear to get the Patrol sitting right, may have to add a bigger spacer to it in the future depending on how good the heavy duty spring is.

as you can see its now time to add tyres!!




Catcha all soon
