Alright guys mate of mine has a about an 87 model Pajero i think with the sigma engine in it. He has brand new 31s on it and actually looks quite good.
He needs new suspension and wants to do a 2 inch lift on it.
Has anyone got a 2 inch lift on this model Pajero, where from? and how much did it cost?(please specify instatlled or not for price)

If kit was installed please make sure its a Sydney company.

Hope you guys can be of assitence thanks

Your local arb dealer can supply and fit a compete suspension upgrade. Would be about 2" lift. As for price, including quality shocks allround, torsion bar crank (adjustment), new raised rear leafs it would cost around $900 - $1000 fitted. Just give em a call and they will be more than happy to help you.

Alternatively you can do it all yourself. Source the springs, shocks and organise someone to fit. You can save yourself a few $$ this way.

Classic example. ARB quoted me $900 to do my suspension. I bought a a pair of king springs, 4 rancho 9000 shocks, wound the torsion bars up and got a mate to install the rest. Total cost was under $500.

Bought a UHF with the change.

I know the ranchos dont have the travel that the konis do but for the price i paid i didnt care, as the current set up is only temporary. They were brand new but second hand (if that makes sense).. I paid just over 150 euro for the 4. ($280AU). The king springs from memory were $200 pair.

When I was looking they were $198 each, which is why I ended up with OME. Also, the official Rancho list for Pajero is only rated to a 1" lift, so you have to improvise with their catalogue to find more - Frank and Mike discussed this in depth a few months back.

Thanks for that

if its 900 installed that is for coils
therfore meaning leaves that my mates paj has a bit more expensive.

Is anyone runnig an enforcer kit i have on on my 60 and imagine it would be around the 700 buck mark for all the new leaves skocks and bushes all round from Carrolls might give them a call.

Is there anyone out there with a liftet page with rear leaves if so what did u use?

I did the 2 or more lift last weekend. I cut the bumpstops for the droop (top ones) but I am still concerned that with the lift there is not enough droop. I jacked the car up side to side and the max droop (on the front) from the height I have is around 50mm, 2" - maybe a smidge more.... The sway bars are not affecting it as the wheel was dropped and touching the bump stop.

Just get under there and count, you need one block for every body mount bushing.
