change the wish bones? are you trying to lift it or gain extra track? you dont need new wish bones to lift it. how high do you want to go?

im not sure if you can on the older models, but have you done the ball joint flip on the front upper arms? if you havent you can get more lift from that, but even then i doubt you will get 100mm. ill try find a link to the balljoint flip for ya.

Don't forget that you will need to get the vehicle certified for those modifications.

If you want to go another 70 to 100mm above what you have now which if you are on the bump stops will be about 3 inchs you have the wrong vehicle.

Without spending mega bucks redoing the entire front end, lowering the diff etc it won't work. THe Ball joint flip cannot be done on your vehicle unless you change to gen 2 upper wishbones but this puts your camber waaaay out.

Get a solid axle front or a vehicle that already comes with one.

If you want bigger tyres, a body lift would make lots more sense and wind your torsions down a bit - it is dangerous driving on them fully wound up.
