4.8 coils in n GQ?
Has any body done this? I am sure that the GQ is about 700kg lighter than the 4.8 and this will make it work like a lift kit
if a Person puts bilstein or koni shocks in or even gabriels it might work ? What do you think?????

Re: 4.8 coils in n GQ?
DANKIE Thinus -- ook -- Is the 4,5 & 4,8 & GQ on the same specs as far as coils are concerned ??
OTHER question -- I hear tell the Cruiser 80 shocks does fit the GQ nqad also gives more travel than the normak GQ shocks
ANYBODY can confirm?

Re: 4.8 coils in n GQ?
Hallo Oom
Hoop die rooie draai goed uit. Ja my buurman het n mooi 4.8 gekoop. Nou is ons 2 Patrole in die straat.
Ek kannie onthou hoelyk die 80 se sjokke nie, maar die bakkie het ek by ons werk nuwes opgesit en gesien die gaan net so pas op by kar. Toe kry ek n stelletjie vir my ook. Ek hou van die langer shock, wiel sak bietjie verder uit.
Maar die cruiser shock is langer ook wanneer hy ingedruk is. Dis min en pla my nie, ek het spacers in wat my kar hoer maak, so as my kar sy bumpstops tref is die sjoks nognie heeltemal in nie,maar die wiel sak beslis meer uit. Ek kon dit agterkom in die veld, en hier is n lang draai naby my huis wat ek die voorwiel kon oplig deur die draai, nou kan ek nie met die langer shock nie. Ek is bang ek gooi die kar om.
Groete

Re: 4.8 coils in n GQ?
Oupa Mac,
New you would be back in a Nissan. No wonder it got so cold this weekend. These spacers are also called trim packs and are available from Mega world or LA Sport. They are used to level out the coil sprung vehicles after suspensions is fitted. I have two 30 mm spacers on the top of the rear coils to help with the weight. No air helpers available for my coils.
Contact Louis at LA Sport HQ.

Re: 4.8 coils in n GQ?
I would just like to add my here:
If you install spacers under the coils of a vehicle, I would strongly recommend installing spacers of similar thickness under the bump stops. I realize that this reduces upwards wheel travel, but it prevents problems with the coils themselves.
A coil spring should never be used beyond it's designed compression height, and should certainly never be allowed to go "coilbound", this is what causes them to break and accelerates sagging.
