Raising a Triton

Sorry I pushed the wrong button.

Look at

Outer Limits

Don't know about Mitsubishi but check out the Isuzu section. You will find heaps of IFS info there. Like ball joint flips and spacers, diff lowering brackets etc.

You can gain a bit by putting in an extra leaf (No4) at rear & if you wish, remove
one of the flat overload leaves. This points up the need for longer shocks as you tend to lift an inside rear wheel on roundabouts.
Front can be wound up a bit with the adjusting screws and some ribber removed from the bump stops but not too far as you lose too much rebound(drop).
One guy on outer limits I think, was fitting a leaf front end to his Triton.
Also kits for lifting the body from the front suspension/diff. for the extreme.

Bishi Mad,

Have lifted the front of my Pajero 40mm by winding up the torsion bars but this has cost me downward wheel travel by the same amount. I have found with good wheel placement I always got over most obstacles plus the diff lock helps for when a wheel leaves the ground. Have known others to cut the bump stops in half to get a bit more travel.

Another advantage of winding up torsion bars can fit bigger rubber which gives more clearance.

Hope this helps

Hi

Raised my '98 Triton 4x4 dual cab 2.8D a few months ago. The vertical distance from top of the wheel rim (highest pont from ground level) to the underside of the wheel arch directly above is 345mm.

I don't know exactly how much extra clearance this has given but it's substantial.

Be very very careful before cutting the rubber bump stops - if your shockers can't extend far enough they are going to be ripped apart as the wheels try to travel further than they are desigend to. Also the CV joints are not desigend to work at the exteme angle that that action would facilitate.

Email me if you think I can help further.
