Your wife's help was essential to do it. No wife no joy😜 I'm about to do the same on my p4. Cheers from Poland
i couldnt do life without her! too right. hope your install goes smoothly
@@Smash_Garage Hi mate. I did mine on ironman and profender. Rear is perfect at about 56cm front is too hight and I worried about front halfshaft joints. how's yous after that time? is it knocking.
@@skoda110 mine does not rub at all. it is common for them to be fairly close. the dobinsons are really nice and have lots of clearance.
This is one of the best videos of the home garage ever!
I just got a 2003 Montero that NEEDS to be lifted like this! Great video! Your Pajero looks sweet!
Thanks Nathan. Hope you can get yours lifted soon. Keep an eye out in the next few weeks I'll have a video on some real world testing.
Well done. You have inspired me to have a go myself.
Good luck. Hope it goes easy.
Great video mate!
Thanks.
Quality video, congratulations
thanks very much
Great Video mate. The detail is spot on. Thanks for sharing, I will do this on my Pajero Exceed NP. Awesome Cheers !
your very welcome. hope it goes smoothly
Really nice video mate
Thanks.
Hello mate!, great job, what tire size did u change after the new kit?
Great video.👍🏻
Thanks for watching
Hey mate, can you add suspension part list in description, thanks!
Great video, I did a similar DIY 2" lift to my NP Pajero two months ago and it worked out really well too
Nice work. Did you get adjustable fronts or did you need spacers? I've heard with the non adjustables you need a 10mm spacer up front to make it level
@@Smash_Garage unfortunately they weren't adjustable and definitely needed the 10mm front spacer, which I installed. The end result is a huge improvement over stock.
@@blooskyy7 nice. glad your happy with it. its made a world of difference to the offroad ability of mine
You think 4” lift is possible ?
@@pierogillio if you still want to go higher then you should drop diffs, probably only option.
What about adding 2” spacer lift?? You think will fit?
Nice car and video 👍
Thanks.
Thanks.
Heya, mate, very useful video. Thanks. You reckon you will need a wheel alignment after this lift? Nice colour Paj, BTW...same as mine 😎
Your welcome. Definately need a wheel alignment after, the camber will be way off among other stuff. Ours had some pretty decent bump steer on the hwy until we got it aligned. And yeah very nice colour!
What parts and where you got them
Great video mate informative and to the point - since I am about to do the same I have two questuones if you dont mind - 1. Have considerwd and/or do you need to exted rear brake to assure enough lenght when lifted? 2. What offset is on those 17" rims (they are Mitsubishi OEM?) any issues with rubbing on 265 70 17? Cheers mate!
Thanks for the feedback. The brakes didn't hang or bind when up on the hoist so I don't think they need to be lengthened for just a 2" also I haven't heard anyone else online needing too either. Rims are 17" Mitsubishi Challenger rims. Unsure on offset but fire perfect. With 17s normally the biggest issue is the big brakes on the front not clearing on the inside. And no scrubbing at all. Plenty of room It's a 31.6" diameter up from the stock 30.6". People often run up to a 33" with only minor scrubbing on the front bumper if you have no bullbar.
@@Smash_Garage thanks mate ;) cheers
what tier size do you use?
Hey mate! Love the video, great detail, even going into what tools you need. Just wondering if you remember how long roughly it took you to do this lift kit? Not including having to go get the front shock and spring combo out together
thanks a lot. glad your finding it useful. i would say its an easy 1 day project for most competent individuals. if your really skilled up or have done it before and already have complete struts to replace then i reckon you could be done in a few hours.
Great video mate. What bar do you have on there? Is it the arb commercial or the deluxe?
Thanks. I believe that it is the deluxe. I bought it second hand from a car that had a small accident up front. Replaced the crush mounts re powdercoated it and paid for the lot by selling the original alloy bar.
Hi! Great video! I will also do this on my Pajero IV. I'll use Lovells coils and Profender struts. One question, do you need to adjust the geometry of the suspension after the install? I've heard this from some people but im not sure it is necessary :) Thanks!
it will 100% need a wheel alignment straight after the install, but mine was ok to drive the short distance there.
@@Smash_Garage alright! Thanks a lot! 😃
Nice video and a job well done. Does a 2" lift alter handling on the highway? Thank you.
thanks. i found it makes it a little firmer overall, id say mainly because my stock suspension was pretty flogged. i do notice a tiny bit of bump steer over large bumps at high speed but overall much improved.
@@Smash_Garage thank you for your reply.
@@mdirtydogg your welcome.
Good job, how many hours did this take you from start to finish?
Pro workshop = 1-2hrs tops Competent DIY mechanic = few hours Home amatuer = maybe half a day With children = add half a day It's pretty straight forward if you have complete new front struts.
. But in this case of lift rear suspension, do you have to regulate the bolt that you show at 10:00? Thanks from Asiago
What do you mean by 'regulate'?
@@Smash_Garage i can 't understand if we must change setting , screw unsrew and so on, about this bolt. grazie
Iv wanted to do the same thing to mine for a long time. But i hear that the cv boots rip open when putting a 2 inch lift on a pajeros. Any problems so far with yours?
No issues at all so far. And I also haven't heard of that happening on a 2" lift. It's a common size to do and I don't hear of many issues other than some of the cheaper brands aren't as comfy. I say go for it.
How does it ride with the lift? Rough as guts? Or alright? Also what size are the new wildpeaks!
it actually rides really well. it has less body roll than before and its too rigid that the ride is rubbish. its nice and settled above 100 offroad and tows well also. the only thing i did notice is that the steering seems to want to stay at full lock a little more that it used to. not a big deal but something. could just be the wheel alignment though. i went with - 265/70 R17 as it fits in the spare wheel cover, doesnt ruin my power and keeps me under 2.1m tall.
Didn't you have to use cardan shaft flange after completing the lift?
no, 2 inch lift is pretty mild on these it doesn't really add enough extra angle to need a longer CV or extra flange. works fine as it is.
How tall is the vehicle after the lift, including the roof racks highest point?
ill have to measure it for you. i also went up 25mm or so in tire size. i fit under all the local 1.2m clearances no problems.
Hey man nice lift, what wheels you running? Specs? Cheers
Thanks. I'm running a 265/70R17 (31.6) Falken Wildpeak AT3 On Mitsubishi Challenger (PB) Rims which are 17x 7.5. It's hard to find a 17 with enough space for the big brakes on the Pajero exceed. And they were cheap! Hope this helps
@@Smash_Garage hey mate, I'm planning to run the same spec wheel 17x7.5 et38 from the newish triton mags, I've heard the lwb large front calipers don't fit?? Did you have to use slip on spacers? Cheers
@@dankim3950 yeah my callipers only have a few mm clearance on the rim. regardless of ET38 i think it would be up to the relief on the rear of the spokes to wether the big breaks would fit or not. only way to know is try unless you have the exact same rims. i know 17s can be really hit n miss with this model unless its a large offset
Hello, some info on the catch can pls?
Its a Provent 200. but i cant say id recommend it. extremely poorly designed mounting and there were a few other issues also.
but, i think....is better put spacer in both of two ball joint in the front axel?
Why do you think this? I believe it's not necessary unless you cannot adjust wheel alignment to factory specs. 2" lift isn't really enough to effect that.
@@Smash_Garage as you can see in the link. I think upper is necessari to have normal angle. Down, rally don't understand if is better or not put spacer kzhead.info/sun/rKlrc9FqbKuClZs/bejne.html
So after 6 months, how's everything going? No dramas with cv's n stuff wearing out?
really loving the extra 2 inches to be honest. CVs are working as they should, no rubbing or anything. tire wear is all even as far as i can see ( i rotate them every 10k ) . really noticed the extra clearance off-road, has made all the difference. the only thing i have noticed is that at high speed say over 80-120kmh is that when i hit little holes or bumps in the road it has a tiny bit of self steer when the body moves from side to side. very minor but still some feedback for you. possibly could be changed with a different wheel alignment geometry setup.
How many Nm on ghe 19 bolt one on the ground? Thanks
not sure sorry
@@Smash_Garage thanks from italy
What is the tire size at the end of the video?
265/70R17. 31.6" . Up 1inch from the standard that was 30.6"
@@Smash_Garage thanks
Front diff drop 25mm now. Hop you don’t screw up your CVs.
Havent heard of anyone having issues with cvs and a 2" lift. Maybe running 33s or 35s might make a difference.
Any tips for getting the top 3 bolts on the front shock/spring combo aligned with the bottom bolt that mounts the shock?
brute force is the only option i can think of. youd have to fight the pressure of the spring. i would probly try bolting the top in and using a massive screwdriver or a bar in the bottom shock mount to try twist it around. it should move. hope its not too far out for you
What watch are you wearing?
Casio Gshock GD-100SC . I love the green and they can still be bought on ebay for $100 ish. ive had 2 and found the bands last for a year or so if you take it off heaps and the inernals last around 3-4 years before it starts having issues with the light staying on.
@@Smash_Garage thanks heaps love the video too!
Your welcome
where did you get your lift kit from?
Springs i picked up secondhand (lovells) and the rear shocks were from Westcoast suspension. Front struts from malaga suspensions i think it was.
@@Smash_Garage do you need to do a wheel alignment after installation? what about bolt torque specs?
@@DoctorTooploop yes i did. your welcome to check the actual specs in a proper manual. i just used my experience to tell me when.
@@Smash_Garage installed my own 2 inch lift, this video was very helpful, however my traction control appears to be turning itself off now, is this a problem you encountered?
@@DoctorTooploop nice work! i didnt have this problem. check that you didnt bump the any of the wheel speed sensors maybe? i know some people turn TC off by unplugging the sensor on the rear. maybe its loose or something.

"I love the Pajero, everything is great, but the short suspension travel ruins it; the springs are too stiff."
Hi from bookface
Hi brad. Thanks for watching. What did you think of the video. Any parts i could do better (aside from the voiceovers)
i thought you did really well, obviously having a camera man would take it to next level but i like the " mechanics perspective" view aswell.
@@Bradthetruckie thanks. a camera man would be great!
Hi Buddy you don't need to remove the entire strut just the spring..
You should post a vid of you doing that.
Все, ничего. Видео хорошее. Но зачем ты друг, бъешь молотком по резьбе болта? Завальцуешь грани, и привет проблемы.
Everything, nothing. The video is good. But why are you a friend, hitting a bolt thread with a hammer? Roll up the edges, and hello problems.
Yeah thats a fair call. Probly should have used a soft hammer.... but i used finesse instead
@@Smash_Garage You are well done! Great content!
@@alexkum8980 thanks
This is the lowest 4wd I have ever seen, makes the Prados look like giants
