Hi All

I have a 2005 Navara STR, It has a GME UHF, TJM Bullbar, Winch, ARB Canopy

gday and welcome to the forum

Another brisbane boy.

Welcome mate, enjoy the site.

Dave.

Welcome mate. Post some pictures of your Nav so we can what your ride is like.

Enjoy the stay.

I have put a couple of pics on the members ride section, I'm getting a 2 inch lift kit for the car in the next couple of weeks

Hey mate, welcome.

Jason I assume? I'm a Jason...... in Brisbane...... with an ST-R as well. LOL small world

2003 STR, canopy, tub liner, piranha duel battery system, nissan snorkel & bullbar. Moved up from X-Trail (which did Birdsville, Oodnadatta, Darwin to Normanton via Borroloola Lawn Hill and BurkeTown). I hope I will be much happier on the creek crossings and corrugations.

I have convinced the wife and I'm getting a EFS 2 inch Lift kit

Sounds good, you should be happy with that, I haven't heard any complaints about the EFS gear on the Navara.

Got the Lift Kit in on Monday, Very Happy!!!! It is so High!!

Gold, hahahaha

If it seems really high at the front it will be wise to just under and have a look at the gap between the upper control arms and the top bump stops, any less than 10mm gap there and it will handle like a pig, not to mention chop out the upper control arm bushes fairly quickly due to it hitting the bump stop all the time, and others have said, lets see some pics.

I have Finally got around to taking pics of the 2 inch Lift Here you go boys

I'm going to install my kit this weekend, so i'll use the 10mm magic number. Curious how many mm lift over standard does that give shonky?

I couldn't say exactly, rough guess would be 30-40mm at the front. Since I posted that I've actually lowered mine a little more still, it's now about a 12mm gap and the front end rides and steers so much better it is not funny, the reason being is the way the shocks are mounted to the lower control arms, the higher you raise the suspension, the less strength the shocks have due to the geometry, the steering is also much more direct because there is less angle on the tie rods.
