Hello all. I have a 99 Montero Sport and I am about to have the rear leaf spring perches relocated from the bottom of the axle to the top in hopes to get 2-3" of lift in the back. Frontend, I'll just crank the t-bars. I've heard of others doing this, but I am wondering if I will need to do anything else (ie brake line extension, longer or shorter shocks, etc). I'll have a local shop perform this...a shop that is known for modding and building 4x4 machines, so hopefully, he is competent. There just isn't a lot of info on these vehicles so doing a google search doesn't yield much useful information, so turning to the forum. Thanks.

I'd definitely look into different shocks that have farther travel. A's for brake lines I have 2 inch body and 2 inch suspension lifts, and felt my front brake lines were under tension when suspension was at max extension, so I replaced mine with longer braided steel lines. Figured the lines were 16+ years old. Couldn't hurt. Front was a lot worse than the back.

Well, technically, I want a nice winch bumper...but yours isn't cracked and broken and in pieces.  Thanks for the reply. I'll do the brake lines before my body lift then  |

Why flip them? Its gonna be ALOT more than just 3-4 inches. Also flipping them you run the risk of "hopping" and a harsher ride.
