this is another reason i was thinking of just going shocks and springs cos i could get some real good ones for a reasonably low price in comparison to coilovers if i go down 40mm will i need uprated arb

You can get some much cheaper and lots of people on here have and say thay are fine.

Not sure how much mines lowered at the front but it's too low, it scrapes on uneven roads, can't get it on my drive and speedbumps are a nightmare, i need to get it sorted but the wife does'nt like driving the navara so it'll have to wait till se gets the day off  :sad:
