The suspension lift is a combo of a couple things:
Shackles in the rear are extended front shackles used on 1983-1985 Toyota 4x4 pickups (also used the Toyota bushings). Had to shim the rear axle due to pinion-angle change, but some folks haven't seemed to have to.
The front is cranked t-bars, but not cranked all the way (so the ride is not stiff). I swapped out the upper control arms with Gen II Montero UCAs. They are slightly longer and correct the camber after cranking t-bars. The angles on the CV axles are more relaxed and (believe it or not) I actually have quite a lot of flex up front for having IFS. Also trimmed upper bump-stops down about half-way.

thats really cool what you have done with your montero. I have a 1987 montero and i was wandering what is the name of your suspention lift or did you have to get it custom made because i cant find any off road stuff. Thanks,nick
