Lifting a MU

Post by playingInTheDitch »

I have migrated to a MU from a terrano.
one thing that was clear fairly quickly was the need to get a little more clearance.
Im guessing putting in extended shackles and winding up the torsions would be the best way to go about this?
do I need to look at putting in longer shocks?

It depends on what tyre size you want to use.

I have done a 75mm bodylift and can fit 33" tyres with minimal gaurd rub.
I also replace the back shocks with EFS shocks.

I have heard the you can get away with doing only 50mm lift.

Anyway it all depends on what type of 4Wdriving you want to do.

planning on sticking with my 31s. Im thinking of just giving myself a little more clearance underneath. could be Im just used to the terrano clearance but it seems to drag the bash plate on the transfer case a bit when Im in ruts
as this is my daily driver i wont be doing too intense stuff.

on a side note can these be fitted with a pto?
