Torsion key and sway bar removal?

[Jsuydam1]

Hey there got a 91 mighty that I'm trying to lift alittle. It rides kind of rough because my torsion keys are maxed out but it didn't really gain any lift maybe half an inch on both sides. Would you suggest removing the sway bar? Let me know!! Got procomp es9000 shocks in the front.

Removing the sway bar and lifting it is a great combination for horrible body roll and poor stability. Your sway bar shouldn't be limiting your lift, I'd say you've probably maxed out your suspension. Are your control arms against the bump stops yet?

No they arent even close

Should be able to buy longer stabiliser link kits off the shelf (or the magical land of Ebay). Maybe the short links are the cause of it being pinned down :shrug:

your torsion bars are shot - go here for new ones:http://adventuredrivendesign.com/ocart/index.php?route=product%2Fsearch&tag=Siberian+Bushing . Warning - they have many parts to really get this truck up in the air properly, and the bushings too...

I don't think they are shot but they are cranked to the max haha but I wanna lift this truck using suspension parts. I'm against sas and body lifts. I'm thinking about doing a 4 link in the back with king shocks but have no clue about what to do with the front...please help

the torsion bars they sell - OME and Sway-a-way - are the best way to lift the truck in the front, along with the ucas from an 92 - 95 Montero, not Montero sport. Be careful about ebay - most vendors sell them as the same arm, but they are not. The Montero ucas are longer and give you 1-2 inches of lift; the Montero Sport arms are the same as the trucks, since they are a shortened L200 frame.

Okay I'll look into it thanks alot!!!

[Jsuydam1]

Do I need to change anything else like the hubs or spindles? Or does it bolt right up?

[pennyman1]

the torsion bars swap right out...

[Jsuydam1]

I'm sorry I meant the ucas from the Montero to my truck.

[pennyman1]

they bolt right up as well

Okay thank you!!
