Winches?
Barry Scott:
yer auld aunt nelly
I understand exactly what you mean. I am trying to spend on things that would move to another vehicle when I can afford to upgrade. I would like to do a suspension lift but that could work out costly and allot of hard work for someone who knows nothing about these things. Also doing that would just write that money off, it would not really increase the vehicle resale and I could not more it on to another vehicle.
I am thinking with a winch it is something that may come in handy, and I "could" benefit from it now, but will definitely want one in the future. If I get a good one now at a great price, then I may get some more use of it plus it should last me along time.

Shackle lift on the back and adjust the torsion bars on the front (don't do that yourself!). Should be a simple job. unless i've missed soething

You assuming I know something about whatever it is you just said :( . Currenly my knowledge of my vehicles suspension is equal to my knowledge of the ozone layer, I know it is there, just no idea how it does what it does.

The torsion bars can be cranked to lift the front (As on most Mitsys), that is dangerous but requires no parts, get a 4x4 place to do it for you. Extended shackles lower your leaf springs and cost next to nothing, no increase in articulation but will lift the rear.
Barry Scott:
Just found a post on NE4x4 how to fit the shackles, just on MSN with the guy, he got the shackles of ebay so just searching now. The guy is really helpfull, I am yet to speak to a 4x4er who isn't.
