Outer Limits 4x4 Board

I know this has been covered before and the more I search and read the more confusing it seems to be.

I have a 1989 Pajero Import SWB.
Want to raise it about 2 to 3 Inches.
Can this be done by suspension only or will the angle on the tail shaft be to much? I would prefer NOT to do body lift.

Would Standard torsion bars be ok or will replacement be needed?

I tow a boat and only occasionally 4X4 with the car and would like to know what springs would be best. (LWB, Nissan or raised SWB?)

with the front raising it 60mm is probably the max you would go with cutting the upper bump stops which will give you more down travel. You can go further but then you will be feeling every bump on the smoothest road.

I agree with swbpajero. I went a little to high on my bus when i wound it up and it was terribly rough. I ended up doing the body lift as well as it really wasn't that much trouble.

hey greggo,
what height did you raise your truck?
what springs did you use?

Hey n-dorphin,
I raised mine 2" body lift with another 2" suspension. I used Kings springs which are nice and soft for articulation but after a years use they have sagged at least an inch. I've got a mate with a lifted GU so i'm going to see if I can knick his std rear springs and see how it looks then. I've got a home made storage system with cooking and recovery gear that I leave in the back but I don't think that should be my problem as i've already removed the rear seats and it doesn't weigh all that much.
