Its probably a good idea to upgrade your steering system as it wont last long with 33s and a lot of right foot :lol:

Even with the idler brace mine was eating bushes on 32s. http://www.offroadexpress.co.nz/Forums/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=34450 Steering box idler. Cheap and fairly easy, just make sure you get the size pitman arm as Nissan changed the steering box around 93
