    I remember reading some where on here that you can swap out the montero arms. Have you used the search? I'm 99% certain that someone did some kind of a thread with the answers you are looking for. To figure out how much lift you can get from the stock suspension just measure the hight if the front bumper then stick a jack under it and start jacking it up tell things stop moving. After that point you will be into changing parts to the montero.
    The main things you need to look at is the CV joints. The places that will interfere first at the extremes is the ball joints, CVs, tie rods. And you will want to remove the sway bar. The major holding point with the trucks is the width. Just over 4' wide is hard to get any travel with. I finally got my truck to run 33s but it has taken 2 years and a crap load of mods. But I do have 14" of travel on the front and 27" on the rear. But now the front is 1 1/2 foot wider then stock. Version 2 of the truck I'm shooting for 27" on the front and 34" on the rear.
    You might want to fire off a PM to the moderator wrangwy. He lifted his truck.
