I use to use cable ties to hold the sway bar out of the way but now I have it completely removed as I mine isn't a daily driver.i sold the uca's as they posed a issue with dirt,sand and mud wearing out the joint very quickly. That being said if you nav is for posing I'm sure they would last and...
the washer is only needed because the hilux front shock is slightly narrower in the eye at the bottom .If you put a washer to take up the gap it prevents bending of the lower shock mount.
i hope this makes sense.
sorry for late reply
no im no longer running the prg uca's they arnt somthing i feel would serv me well.
im fully engineered with the sway bar but i disconnect or remove it most of the time it makes a big difference.
i attempted a GVM upgrade but was told its not possible due to NSW law.
mine unloaded is 3.2T
front wheels exactly 1500kg
rear axle 1720kg
approx 80ltrs of fuel, i wasnt in the nav either.
so when i say unloaded i mean everthing thats removable eg recovery gear ,
Oh I forgot to mention that the hilux front shocks fit with the aid of a washer which give approx 35mm more travel. The front would be easy to increase the travel but I have found no need to.

Yes I have...
I have cracks too in the same place 07 d40 I reckon mine is from the n70zz battery as its way heavier than the stock one Nissan Claimed it was my aftermarket suspension that caused it lol I then explained I upgraded it because the dealer fitted bullbar and winch caused it to hit my driveway and...
I have driven without the front diff in many times not a prob , at first I was concerned about the front wheels falling off but I looked in the Wreakers and the 2wd models had the same front bearing assy.
I have been on both sides of the fence owning and moding skylines way beyond ever being legal with no regard for the law and now my fully legal fully engineered nav cant say either is safer but i can say i have never had a defect ever !!
NSW police seem to only defect when they catch you doing...
