Lowering a 02 Montero Sport

RE: Lowering a 02 Montero Sport
I've been very active in the N. American Mitsu 4x4 community for nearly 7 years now and must say I rarely hear that request. I'm not sure why you'd want to lower a 4x4 but as they say to each their own... Myself I use my Montero for what it was intended, off road use and have a VW for my daily driver.
Not sure how low you can go up front since it's a torsion bar suspension. I guess you can probably re-index the bars if it won't go low enough for your taste. As for the rear, if the 02 still has the leaf springs, then you're probably pretty limited as to how low you can go. If on the other hand it's coil sprung you can probably measure it and find a comparible one from another vehicle and try it or get a custom coils spring maker like Valley to make you a set.
HTH.
