There are some real benefits that come with upgrading the undercooked stock suspension in your Triton or Pajero Sport, from ride and handling improvements, to improved load carrying ability. But there are choices to make and some basic physics to understand, before you throw your credit card at a new kit.
This fitting guide covers the Mitsubishi MQ and MR Tritons specifically, but could easily be used as a DIY suspension fitting guide for the front and rear of the ML and MN Tritons and also for QE and QF Pajero Sport front suspension (not rear).
If you plan on touring, towing, need more clearance or would just like a better driving and handling 4X4, then you’ll be wanting to upgrade its suspension, sooner rather than later, and there are plenty of aftermarket options available for the popular 4X4 makes and models. But what about fitting it yourself and saving a few dollars, dollars that could be better spent on buying a better quality suspension kit in the first place?
Note: This fitting guide covers the Holden Colorado RG (05/2012 onwards), the Isuzu D-MAX (05/2012 onwards) and the LDV T60 (2016 onwards).
