Shocks
Front Lift Shock Absorber +4" Nissan Patrol Y60 / Y61
A Raptor 4x4 front shock with travel matched to a +4 inch lift, one part number covering both Nissan Patrol Y60 and Y61. Weighs 3 kg and includes a shaft dust boot - stated facts, not marketing filler.
Front Shock Absorber Lift +4" Nissan Patrol Y60 / Y61
A shock sized for stock ride height quickly stops working properly once you lift the front with a few extra inches of spring - it either runs near full extension or loses control over wheel movement on rough ground. The RAP-11151 is a Raptor 4x4 front shock engineered specifically for a +4 inch lift, not a stock unit stretched by guesswork.
It fits both the older Y60 and the Y61 - two generations separated by eight years of production but sharing the same front suspension layout, so one shock covers both.
Position Front | Lift +4" (approx. 10 cm) | Compatibility Nissan Patrol Y60 (1987-1996) and Y61 (1997-2006) | Weight 3 kg |
Key benefits
- Travel matched to a +4" lift means the shock works within its designed range instead of near full extension, giving better wheel control over rough terrain.
- A 3 kg weight and a dust boot on the shaft are concrete, stated features - not a vague "reinforced shock" description.
- One part number covers both Y60 and Y61, simplifying the purchase if you're building a +4" lift on either generation.
Technical data
- Mounting position: front
- Lift: +4 inches
- Weight: 3 kg
- Shaft protection: yes (black dust boot)
- Compatibility: Nissan Patrol Y60 (1987-1996), Y61 (1997-2006)
Who it's for: this shock makes sense paired with springs giving a +4" front lift - on its own with a stock spring it will have too much unused travel and won't work in its optimal range.
Installation / notes
Fitting requires removing the wheel and the upper and lower shock mounts - a standard service procedure, but when combined with a spring swap it's worth having a workshop familiar with Patrol geometry handle it.
Why it's worth it
- Travel matched to a specific lift height, not stock length.
- One shock covers two Patrol generations - Y60 and Y61.
If your front end already runs a +4" lift on a stock shock, this part closes the setup the way it should have worked from the start.
Frequently asked questions
Does this shock work without changing the springs?
The shock is matched to a +4'' lift, so it works best together with springs giving that same lift - at stock ride height its travel goes unused.
Is there a difference between the Y60 and Y61 version?
No - it's the same part number, and the manufacturer states compatibility with both generations.
How much does one shock weigh?
3 kg, per the manufacturer's data.
