Re: Leaf Spring Options
Seems like we need 24 1/2 front portion and 27 1/2 back portion for a near fit for the rears.

Re: Leaf Spring Options
Did you get 75 series landcruisers in the us? if so the rear pack out of them is near perfectbosque wrote:Seems like we need 24 1/2 front portion and 27 1/2 back portion for a near fit for the rears.
just under 24 inches in the front and just over 28 in the back half
needs custom shackles, or grind down the bush ends to fit

Re: Leaf Spring Options
We didn't get the 70 series in the US.
I read here ( http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forums/a ... 11366.html ) that the spring packs are the same in MQ Patrols. I found a place in Vegas that sells them.

Can anyone confirm or deny this?
