NEW - Mitsu Upper Control Arm kit that provides 2.5-3" lift

[Big-Bird]

I found this suspension package by accident yesterday, its a fully welded upper control arm that provides a 2.5 - 3"

lift. What's good about this is it removes the excessive stress that ball joint spacers might incur on the stock upper control arms.
There is some info on our forum about metal fatigue at the upper balljoint mount when a spacer plate is used...not sure if its a specific kind of spacer or if really comes down to lack of maintenance.

Rancho has similar kits like this one for several IFS 4X4's and this type of lift works well so I think this Mitsu kit would have a similar result and perform quite well on the Delica L400.

It fits certain years of Pajeros, L200 and Deli's!!!! The seller states he will sell the upper control arms without the shackles so all you need is a pair of coil spacers and new shocks all around. Then longer track bar and possibly longer front and rear sway bar links.

Here's the ebay page

the l400 doesn't have leafs. How would that work on all delicas?

I think you may have overlooked that detail when you read the post as this is addressed.

you're right i did. but all that means now that you'll basically need half of Jesse's lift.

This would be a great option for an L300.

L300: Doesn't that one use a torsion bar on the upper control arm? If thats the case then this control arm wouldn't work as it has no mount point for the t-bar bracket. Perhaps the fabricator can do this.....

Still cool to see something like this as an option instead of the dropped bracket kit. Still not sure about the ball joint spacer.
