Cheers Smurf, all very usefull stuf but would like to find that sort of stuff a bit closer to home (auckland) Have ben offerd a set of 50mm lift rear springs by Worthog, so if eneyone has a set of 50mm lift front springs they wont to get rid of i would love to here from you! Also if eneyone can sergest a good club to join in the Auckland area that would be cool to!

thanks.

where are you in auckland that may help as to which club to join , they all do different stuff

I found the wranglers no good on the safari, jusy my opinion, others would argue with me. They didn't clear mud quick enough, they bulged in the sidewalls and I managed to spike the sidewall twice in 6mths. I changed to the new Kumho KL71 as I was not happy with what was available on the market and decided to give something new a go. So far I haven't looked back. They are the quickest tread clearing pattern I have seen, aggressive directional pattern but good for the road. I have found them to perform exceptionally well in snow and ice so far. This weekend will be a good test for them, Grade 5 Westcoast tracks.
Oh, and welcome to the site, good to see another Nissan on here.
