Try the outerlimits site. http://www.outerlimits4x4.com/PHP_Modul ... light=dual

May I ask why you want to run duals?
You may want to get the shocks revalved to suit, as it may be a harsh ride.

Just watch for those front diff housings, they are well known to bend.

Maybe PM Mitch from outer (can't remember if he's on here) to see whats involved in setting these up

On the shocks, get in touch with G.Guy Motors, he runs dual shocks on the front of is SWB comp GQ.

On the album, its great up the top of Mt Rochford in the winter aye!!!!

Is that a pic of your truck parked at home?? That was a guy called Ed Radley that used to own that place when i lived there Used to work with him up the hill.

Hook up with the buller 4x4 club if you haven't already, awesome group of people and local knowledge like you wouldn't belive. Look for the MWB cruiser or white Hilux parked down Gladstone St, thats the club captain Peter Skilton (Skilly)

GQTROL runs twin 80 series shocks in his, give him a PM.

What shocks and springs do you have in it at the moment?
What are you breaking?

[4WDbits]

Mitch, Justin and Troy all run dual shock setups on the front of their Nissans, and they're all custom built setups. Grant Guy in Wellington is the closest to you I know of that has done that sort of thing before.

[nuts]

yup diesel it is the same place he in aussie now . i know skilly already johny ray is an awsome guy heaps of info and help havnt joined yet but planning to . been on a couple of trips with them already and hopeing to have me truck ready for the reefton winch challenge nxt year

[nuts]

panhard rods . stearing arms mainly they r too flimsy so got to get beafed up ones. also blown me shocks with last jump not sure about spring rating but bought it with 6 inch lift so they r heavier than usual. just a little flatter now

[doddzee]

Panhards and steering arms will bend if your jumping it like that,
You will want to laminate you diff housing aswell you will bend that to, that if it isnt bent already. If your front end looks like it has a bit of negative camber you probly already have.

Yeah, awesome guys!!!

Say gidday to Johnny for me, ask him if he's still got my standard safari springs, shocks and rear bumper that i lent him to get Gwenda's Safari certified/Vinned.

I WILL BE BACK TO GET THEM SOON!!!!!

I wonder. Perhaps get your self twin lockers and 35's and then try driving more gently??

This is pretty cheeky to say, but:

The Safari is one of the heaviest built trucks around and if your breaking stuff on it, well, you just shouldn't be!!!!!!!

Adjust driving style slightly, more skill, less speed
