lifting a kl60

Really old stuff that got saved. Here are the old Nissan Patrol Club America messages from the 'General' category. Warning, it's dusty in here!

I think you can go with as much as a 2" body lift. I dont know if you could fit more, and I wouldnt want to. Its bad enough that the Patrol's frame already shows.What I would do is remove the inner spring hangers, and make longer ones out of some 1/4" plate steel then add longer shackles.Another, option, though rough, is add-a-leafs. It would give you some lift, but it would make your ride rough.You could SOA your Patrol, but it entails alot more work...Somebody, awhile back, posted pics of where they had wedged some coil springs between the axle and the frame.Hope this alteast gets you started on the right track.
