New Pajero Suspension

[Thomas101]

Gday,

One of the rear shocks in my NJ gave in yesterday. Oil is leaking and the ride is getting worst and worst. All 4 shocks were in pretty bad shape as it is, but now one has completely given up. So i guess its time for a new set and a 2" lift. Can i get away with just 4 new shocks, 2 new coils and wind the torsion bars up? Or do i need new bushes? At the moment i dont think i have a lift, but my brother believes i do. Could someone who knows they're stock take some measurements for me? Then i'll know for sure. I presume from axle to flare would show if a lift is present or not?

Next stage is what brand and type. Ive done some reading and Pajero's seem to go well with OME. What do you guys have? I do have a steel bullbar and winch, but dont really carry heavy loads in the back often. Only when heading bush in which case full esky and camping gear.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thomas

Having sold and instaled OME for many years I consider their stuff quite good, however their pajero rear shocks seem to fail prematurely, tearing the lower eye and releasing the oil.
