What to do & 2'' Lift kit pics anyone

[Pauly Faulkner]

If they keep sagging after a lift and the bolt hasn't moved then yep, Peter92 had a similar issue and new t/bars fixed it up i beleive.

Do the other stuff first and see how you go if you want to, t/bars can be put in anytime by themselves, you won't save anytime by doing them all at once.
It's not like pulling the engine out for reco then deciding to put a new clutch kit in cause you don't want to split the tranny/engine again 6mths later for a new clutch like me

when i looked under her a few hours ago at work it actuall looks like the bolt
has loosened when it was lifted up a fair amount of clean thread was sticking through but now looks to appear dropped about 10mm of clean thread

[Pauly Faulkner]

Measure them with a ruler or tape measure to make sure, last thing you want is to hit the beatin track with twisted torsion bars

p.s although if they were twisted they would sag regardless of lift i imagine, it'd be like putting spacers under your coils only to find a day later that your back to stock height, it's unheard of

i'm think of the same scenario as you are
might look into geting the $607 kit and put it in see how it goes
what cha reckon or get a complete kit with t/bars for $889

If you've got the cash then might as well, the old ones are probably the originals.
I know if the minister of finance let me i'd do the whole lot haha

well told her and she just laughed so will order the gear in the morning if i get time or speak to the guy on ebay as he is only 10mins down the road from work
and see what he thinks been told by a member on here t/bars are 91-94 are 1278 then after that you require longer ones
as later models????

P.S is there any links to pajeros like ours that have an actual 40-50mm kit in them want to no what they look like

[Pauly Faulkner]

Yeah i've seen that written down somewhere as well

Not that i've seen, there would be a plethora of them though, surely!
Just search around and your bound to find someone with one in there profile pic/sig etc

Gq springs, front re indexed and adjusted to 3" lift. No broken torsion bars (lmfao at that one!!!!!), no broken cvs or anything and it gets to see a fair bit of tough low range tracks.

cheers lewis might go with an actual lift kit got to keep the wife happy
as our family car and my son 13months old travel in it

P.S do you have troubles with your t/bars sagging after been adjusted hoping mine are just not tight enough on the locking nut dropped 18mm over 120km

No mate, it's done nearly 40 000 at that height without issue. I re indexed the bars, so it's still got all th adjustment left on the thread.

is it possible that my lock nut is not tightened up enough i think so?????

[Yonnee]

I'm wondering if you've got a stripped thread, which is allowing the torsion bar adjuster to keep slipping back down?
I can't really see the adjustment bolt unwinding itself that quickly while it's under load, even if the lock nut wasn't done up.
Your torsion bar isn't going to sag that quickly, and even if it did, firstly you'd run out of adjustment without re-indexing the bar, and secondly the bars must be made of plastecine.

Has anyone had issues with the alignment/ needing to reset any of the bushes?

I've got patrol coils and a set of shocks sitting in the shed I was gonna do the lift while rebuilding the steering links and suspension just curious if anyone's struggled aligning the front end after the lift
