That's a heck of lot less than I paid for my Mitsubishi 5.29s 5 years ago, eh Frank? They've been very good to me and I still consider it money well-spent. For these gears here, I'd probably give it a go on buying a few sets if I didn't already have a good set. It might be worth it, if that price is...

I cranked until I had approximately two inches of lift, however, I did not crank for the sake of camber (mostly). I cranked the t-bars to reach the lift I desired. Camber was fine-tuned with two shims on each side. Each truck may be different. That's just what worked for me. I should also mention th...

If your intent is to crank the torsion bars, then swapping only the upper control arms is ideal. I did this swap on my 88 three years ago and it's a great mod. Swapped UCAs from a 95 into my truck and cranked the t-bars. Camber is perfect and I gained a couple inches of lift. A plus side is that bec...

On an 88 Mitsu with the stock axles, I wouldn't suggest running any larger than 35s. Although you can, it'll be that much easier to break an axle. I've got 33x12.5 tires on now, but when they wear out I'm planning to move up to 35s. I've made modifications in gearing and clearance to accommodate thi...

Hiya Frank...long time no chat! Yeah, as Frank describes, I put a Gen I V6 front diff, mounts, and CV axles into the front of my 4-banger and then put in an RD110. The only part that wasn't "bolt-in" was that I had to have my drive shaft shortened by 1.5 inches. Others who have done this m...

I use my rear locker much more than my front locker. I don't know about where you guys are, but out here there are lots of rock-slabs.

The weakest link is usually the skinny-pedal actuator (driver giving it too much gas). After that, I'd say the CV axles, however, my 88 (smaller rear diff) has been locked front and rear (ARBs) and with 33s for over three years, doing some hardcore wheeling, and I haven't had any trouble.

If your primary concern is gas mileage and on-road performance, a shorter, narrower A/T tire (generally) is better.
