Yeah he tells me the ramp maybe back by the weekend.
The front springs are too soft (dives under brakes) so some stiffer ones have to go in.
Just some very minor stuff left and the wheel alignment.

Are you using off the shelf style springs(eg;Rangie,Patrol,Cruiser) or are these custom made?

Yes Cheezy found GQ springs fit into the Paj rear perches it's tight but works. The front are GQ coil perches and shock towers.
The springs are Dobinson GQ 3" lift coils and the shocks Tough Dog adjustabales. All the bushes are standard GQ he tries to use as much off the shelf stuff as possible so replacememts are easy.

This is always the best way to do this kind of thing. Getting custom coils would have been a PITA every time you wanted to change the set up.

I am seriously thinking the SAS idea, although nobody has done it before here (at least in a pajero). First I have to look for the right axle. The problem is the position of the differential (driver's side). I would prefer not to get involved with swaping if possible.

I know that there are Dana's 30 from Jeeps, but I don't consider them very strong. There are also older Dana's 44 that I am looking for. Do you know other makes/models with front axles and diff in the driver's side?

Pretty sure this one used a Bundera front axle that had the axle tubes cut of and new ones weld on the other side. Then by reading this thread it sounds lke there is some Hilux stuff used for steering bits.

Yeah it is a hard one...............
I originally wanted to put a Dana 44 in which are available with a left side pumpkin and are the perfect width for a Paj but Dana parts are not that common over here and tend to be expensive. The right one is from a early 80's Jeep Grand Wagoneer but they are only low pinion diffs.
Then I decided on a Hilux axle with a high pinion Bundera diff mainly because parts are everywhere here for them and I could run 5.29's. The only problem is the diff housing has to be reversed but it still runs standard length axles. With the IFS hub spacers the width worked out spot on. I guess the other options are a 80 Series Toyo Cruiser but it would have to be cut down the same with a Nissan Patrol and you end up with non standard axles unless you want the extra width.
I don't know of any other live axle with a left side pumpkin other than the Dana's (I wouldn't touch anything smaller than a 44). Also I strongly recommend to select a high pinion diff so the propshaft lines up much better and gives better ground clearance.

How can I tell if an axle is high or low pinion? :?: I must remind that my front diff is low pinion (according to your database :D ). Does it make any difference...?

I can find Dana 44 here from older Blazers but they are very wide. I am also looking from older CJ's.

One other option I am looking now is from a Mercedes Gwagen. You can find cheap spear parts here from old military supplies. I can get a full car without engine for about 1,200 euros. And both axles have mechanical lockers. :P

When are you going to replace the rest of the pos Mitsubishi stuff Frank? :finger:

Seriously, it looks to have come up really well. I'd make sure to carry around a few fire extinguishers and smoke detectors now. Too much effort has gone into it. :D
