Oh well here goes ! Have 94 lwb pajero and want to use it for easy 4wd, ie, drives up rivers, farm tours, road towing Suzuki to 4wd to events. Bog standard vehicle at present, Needs a lift to fit 33in wheels I have for it as it did ride afew rocks after last river run. What would you recommend I do/buy to lift it ? I've heard about the round rubber mounts between the chassis and body that can be changed for higher ones, are they a good idea, where to buy, and will they effect the auto lever in the cab (guess it gets shorter if the body is lifted higher from the chassis ?). 86 1300cc sj413 want to use for the more serious rookie off roading, bog standard now, what needs doing, 16in wheels ? lifting ? wheel spacers ?, what and where to buy. You guys are the experts what value for money things would you do ? All help much appreciated. Cheers

yea zuk off roader only. Would get a wof etc but was bought to play in the mud in not to be passed by every car on the road ! So weld the diff you suggest, is that a big job ? Do my own welding, is the diff cast, special rods ? which bits to be welded ? live in Hawkes Bay. What else would you suggest.
cheers
