Hi,
I have a nh swb pajero with 31x10.50 R15 tyres and want to upgrade to 285 75 16. the truck has a 4cm suspension lift. Should I install a body lift?
Thank you and regards.

I don't think you'll fit those tyres without a body lift. I have that size tyres, with a 50mm body lift.
Cheers,
Scott

Use 0 offset wheels and you'll be fine

firstly, awesome looking paj,
i dont really think youll need it, especially being a base model without the fiberglass flares.
mines the same, and only about a 40mm lift too, iv got 33" tyres, roughly the same size as a 285/75/16, and iv had up to a 33" JT2, actual size the same as most 35" tyres.
iv got no bodylift and never seen the need for one, iv got a set of ally blocks i had machined up at work, cos it was free bar, and everything else is there, and i just dont think i need it. Maybe if i had sliders and i could be bothered i might do it, but even then i think id get machined down again to about 30mm rather than 50mm that it is now,
in others words, get landcruiser offset rims and you wont need the bodylift

Doesn't the turbo diesel have a factory body lift? it looks higher than my nh shorty with 40mm lift (3l v6).

Only the 2.8 has the body lift.

Tis interesting. It has a bonnet off a 2.8 on it. (the 2.5's didn't come with a bonnet scoop)
And the writing on the side indicates is a 2.5. I'd say it's had a lift of some description.

The last 2.5s that mitsubishi sold in Spain had a bonnet scoop like 2.8 ones, don´t know why.

hey i have a '96 montero thats basically stock, ive cranked the torsion bars an inch to get a little extra room up front, I currently have a set of 31/10.5/15 BFG A/Ts but need to get new tires soon. I really like the BFGs but i wanted to know if anyone thinks i could fit 32s on it.
thanks for your help
