triton upgrades? advice>
Hey
I got a 92 triton, i want to lift it and put some bigger tyres on it.
What do you need to lift it and how big in the tyre regard can you go?
I have koni shocks on the rear at the moment and looking to get some more to the front. I want a 3" or more lift on it, and tyres to compliment that
any help would be good
thanks

30-50mm refers to how high it will be lifted, so 1-2". body lift u have to lift other things as well, possibly change gear stick etc, search for body lift, same with suspension lift. i put in new shockc and coils in my paj and ive gained 60mm in the rear and 20mm in the front (without winding torsion bars) and ive just got some 32x11.5.15 BFG ATs. i dont see how suspension lift will reduce ur flex

nice rig man!
what wheels are those, just the normal steely 6 stud?
thanks for the tips, i used to own alot of turbo petrols but very new to the 4by'ing. lots of help is appreciated! 4bying looks to be alot more versatile and fun then boosting around.
i noticed the back have leaf springs, so you will need to change them if you want more lift, i am assuming?
what do i do about the front, just get new shocks and wind the torsion bars up or?
thanks

For leaf springs its as simple as extended shackles. Personally I'm also looking at getting a leaf taken out of each pack to soften the ride, and fitting a set of airbags so I can still carry the heavier loads. Hoping it also improves rear flex, the downside to tritons.

For a 2 inch rear lift on a triton you will need more than extended shackels to do it properly. Try resetting springs or new aftermarket ones. Then you can specify if you was good load carrying or good offroad (soft).
Have you tried a search? The Search function is about fawked however so your results may be not very good
Actually I just tried it and it didn't work..... maybe try it in French or Spanish and it'll work
You shouldn't need new shocks for the front as the amount of travel doesn't increase.

If it was mine - i'd be giving it a 40mm body lift and roughly a 1, maybe 2 inch suspension lift, take a couple of overload leaves out of the springs (but don't if you carry heavy 350kg+ loads) to get it flexing & riding nicely, front locker and 33's.
Either 33's and put up with the on road performance or 32's and get a little better grunt. Are you turbo - what motor is it.
One thing to realise, basically no matter what you do it will never be as good on the road as it was std.
