They make little blue pills for that <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> I need Excedrin more than the little blue pills... I hear ya. Gen II springs and Bilsteins made a tremendous difference on mine. I do, however run sans sway bay. So, I get a little tippier ride, slightly more so since the body lift, BTW. Think Reuben and somebody else runs the Airlift bags, but IIRC they're on Gen II's.
Fasteddy's advice is occasionally sound...

I put Old Man Emu # 910 coils on mine.
Gen 2 coils , in retrospect are probably of higher quality and cheaper and and locally available. Like $50/ pair.
I put Rancho RS 5000 shocks on the rear. They arn't gas shocks and snub real good right now . I'm able to go up and down 41 without "white knuckles" now.
KYB are a far better shock and that's what I reccomend.

Yes, Old Man Emu shocks rock too, but are apporx. 2x$ what the KYBs are.
I just want to tell you both good luck, and we're all counting on you.

Junk. KYB, Bilsteins, or Old Man Emu probally your best bet. I think Pro comp and Rancho are the same manufacture. My new red rubber boots on my ranchos are already falling apart.

nissan patrol/safari springs are stiffer than the gen2 coils. same diameter also but thicker. will probable lift the vehilce 2inches up from stock.
