Raised Suspension

[geomag]

Hi, I have a mitsubishi strada pick up and would like the suspension raised to something more like the ride height of the pajero. Does anyone have a rough idea of what the cost should be and would I be better going to a mitsubishi garage or elsewhere?

Cheers in advance.

tons of 4x4 workshops around, they should have a wide variety of lift kits, probably cheaper than going through Mitsubishi too, if they'll even give you the option of this kind of upgrade!

Is it a 4x4? - They should be about the same height as a Pajero anyway.

Really - either way I'd avoid most of the 4WD "experts" . Most garges, tyre shops etc should be able to do it without overcharging you .......

You need to decide how to raise it.

At the rear you can either fit a block, new springs, add a leaf or extend the link to the springs - all have their drawbacks.

at the front the usual thing is to put some spacers on the shocks or fit new "extendable" shocks.

non of this costs more than a few hundred baht, except for new shocks - about 5k a pair or a rear springs about 2k to 4k.

you may also want to look at the size of tires you have fitted - they might look a bit odd if you raise just raise the body.
