But said that you need new coils to get lift at the back.
Maybe i dont understand how these things work...
So why then get spacer? Dont understand their logic...

Maybe someone with a bit more knowledge can give them a call to find out exactly how their lift works...

Ja sheesh, it has been a long slog till this point, so glad the end result is so positive, now just to finalise the rears and get tested and we have a much cheaper raised suspension excluding a lot of the downsides of the much more expensive suspension replacements, those mainly being a harder ride, which is something I have been trying to avoid. Nismo please post some more pics and some measurements. I am thinking of doing the 63mm lift, but with the replacement bar on it did drop by 15mm, so that would be a 48mm lift overall, happy days!

Hi All,
I will ask Uys to post the measurements and pics, he dit take a lot of photos, he said he is going to make a guide how to do it....
Goodluck in doing it yourself, it was a mission the front ones.
The back doesn't look to be very difficult.

Unlikely that I will be doing it myself... Will probably take it to Mikem for installantion, unless you guys know of anyone else?

Yip,
You will need one of these as well to compress the springs, I don't think a normal coil clamp is going to work..

I can vouch for the truth in this. Normal clamps aren't strong enough for pajero coils!

Uys has got the spacers made up and look good, pricing is alittle higher than I had hoped, but the quality is very good and a much cheaper alternative to the suspension replacement by far.
To order spacers with Uys here is the link:

Here are a few pics os Nismo's Paj with the spacers fitted, and looks good.

So those that are looking for that extra lift, here is a solution, which everybody can use.
Cheers

Any recommendations on where to get them fitted? I was thinking Mikem...
