Front Lift Springs +4" Nissan Patrol Y61 LWB Raptor 4x4
A Raptor 4x4 front spring set with a genuine +4 inch lift, built specifically for the long-wheelbase Nissan Patrol Y61 (5-door). Confirmed 490 mm free height and 16 mm wire diameter - manufacturer figures, not estimates.
Front Lift Springs +4" Nissan Patrol Y61 LWB Raptor 4x4
Stock front springs on a long-wheelbase Y61 are tuned for a road-going load, not for an overland rig carrying a roof rack, drawers and a full tank. After a few thousand kilometres the front end sags, suspension geometry drifts, and the travel you need for rough terrain disappears before the trail even starts.
The RAP-11149 is a Raptor 4x4 front spring set delivering a genuine +4 inch lift, engineered specifically for the long-wheelbase Y61 (5-door). It's not a generic "fits everything" spring - the manufacturer publishes the exact free height and wire diameter, so you know precisely what you're installing.
Application Front axle, +4" lift | Compatibility Nissan Patrol Y61 LWB (5-door), 1997-2006 | Free height 490 mm | Wire diameter 16 mm |
Key benefits
- A +4" front lift restores the suspension geometry that stock springs lose under extra gear and weight.
- A stated free height of 490 mm and 16 mm wire diameter are spring-specific figures, not ballpark numbers - easy to verify on install and compare against alternatives.
- A dedicated version for the long Y61 LWB means the spring rate matches this chassis from the start, without compromises from a one-size-fits-all catalogue entry.
Technical data
- Lift: +4 inches (front)
- Free height: 490 mm
- Wire diameter: 16 mm
- Colour: yellow (manufacturer marking)
- Compatibility: Nissan Patrol Y61 LWB, 5-door, 1997-2006
Who it's for: if you're building a Y61 for overlanding or regular off-road use and the stock front has already sagged under a roof rack, winch or camping setup, this set brings back the ride height and travel that rough, rocky sections demand.
Installation / notes
Have the springs fitted by a workshop familiar with Y61 suspension geometry - after a +4" lift it's worth checking toe alignment and brake hose length, as with any suspension lift of this magnitude.
Why it's worth it
- Concrete manufacturer data (free height, wire diameter) instead of a generic "lift spring" description.
- Purpose-built for the long-wheelbase Y61, not a repurposed SWB spring.
If your Y61 LWB needs real front-end travel rather than a cosmetic spring spacer, this is the set to start the suspension build with.
Frequently asked questions
Will these springs fit a short-wheelbase Y61 (3-door)?
No - the RAP-11149 is built specifically for the long Patrol Y61 LWB (5-door). The manufacturer offers a separate part number for the short version.
Do I also need new shock absorbers with this set?
The manufacturer doesn't bundle this spring with a specific shock on this listing, but with a +4" front lift it's worth pairing it with a shock that has matching extended travel - otherwise a stock shock can run out of extension.
Is there a warranty on the spring?
The manufacturer states a lifetime warranty against sagging (dimension retention).
