Re: looking for lift kit
this is a picture of the longer shackles next to the stockers, on the right.much stronger and uses a tie bar in the middle to keep everything from twisting.

Many of us would like to know what you'd charge for a set of shackles and upper ball joint spacers, for the DIY crowd?garyo wrote:this is a picture of the longer shackles next to the stockers, on the right.much stronger and uses a tie bar in the middle to keep everything from twisting.

I like the stance and the fact the torsion bars don't require maxing. Does this affect the driveshaft lengths at all or does the lift sort of pivot around that? And... would you consider going higher like the Mystery Machine?
When my Deli grows up it wants to be like the "M/M"!

Re: looking for lift kit
Has anyone thought of doing an SAS? Also there are Pajero/L200 liftkits out of the Phillipines that would work. They have all new upper and lower A-arms, and different springs. I'd like to see someone build them for here in NA.

Re: looking for lift kit
also comes with new lower rear shock mounts.i've been running this setup for 3 months now,no problems. this means u dont need longer shocks.this can be an upgrade later.factor this in, and the whole system is very reasonably priced. also, in the process of building a bigger lift ,spacing the front subframe a bit. a work in progress. we are getting a lot of positive feedback, so we'll probably have to build some more.

Re: looking for lift kit
Saw garyo's van @ North Van Red Robin parking lot. Sweet! Nice lift, and I should consider that as well.

Re: looking for lift kit
Thelazybrownfox,
I saw VSM's Delica couple days ago with that lift installed. I'd guess a good 6-7" between tire and wheel arch. Nice set up as it doesn't "stretch" the shocks and keeps the geometry the way it should be. I really liked it.

Re: looking for lift kit
Hey guys
Yes I like the 6-7" tire clearance.
I have 30" BFGs & 32 1/2" height at the top of my wheel wells. Thats only 4 1/2" tire clearance with my torsion bars cranked to an inch of their maximum. They were cranked in Japan before i bought the deli. There's no lift in the rear.
I want a 2" more ground clearance. I suspect the TBs have sagged.
My questions are:
Can you buy new torsion bars? How much are they? Would there be any advantage to replacing the torsion bars rather than installing a lift kit?
Anyone seen a part number for the TBs.
thanks
