Pajero wheel travel

from memory , the top ball joint is bolted from the top . Its a 93 mod , sorry shoul dhave added that . We have modified the bumb stops and taken a slice out of the chassis , to allow the top arm to come down more . We have acheaved a extra 40 mm down tavel from the top arms . Shockers are ok . The angle of the top ball joint is wrong and wont allow the arm to travel the full length of the mod . once its all assembled .
After cutting down the upper bumpstops to about 8mm you can flip the balljoint. Instead of mounting through the top of the A arm mount from underneath and you can use a 10mm spacer in between. This will give a few more inches. There are some safety consideration with this mod as well. I think from memory you end up with around 10-12" of total travel with this mod.
Are you measuring with the front swaybar off ?? On Gen 2 Paj's they are very thick and stiff set up for road handling. If you run 31" tyres and under (without a body lift) you can hack off a bit from the lower bumpstops to achieve even more up travel before hitting the guards.
I got sick of all that though and are having a front solid axle put in at the moment

Yep Cheezy is doing it now.
Basically he is using a re-tubed Hilux front housing with a Bundy HP centre it will have an ARB locker and 5.29 diff ratio. The front will be a 5 link set up. The rear will be an A frame set up with the Mitsu housing (5.29's were a factory option on some models).
There is a thread in the Mitsu section about it with pics.
This is a pic of a 92 Paj, front swaybar disco'd, TJM Series 2000 60mm torsion bar crank, upper bumpstops cut down to 8mm everything else (front suspension) is standard.
