Will leveling out my front end making it a bit higher effect my fuel mileage much or nothing to worry about there?
Thanks

Probably not enough that you'd notice it depending upon the type driving you do. If you're mostly in town, no.
However, the less air that passes under the car (truck) the better. That's where an semi rigid air dam comes in handy, and side skirts can really help too.
Again, the more high speed highway use, the more difference that type stuff makes.
just bag it and body drop....it will fix all those problems..and you can adjust to compensate for speed.:p:p:o
Why would want to raise the truck to level it? Why not lower the back instead? Adding drop blocks and new u bolts are a little simpler then altering your steering goemetry.
Im pretty sure he has a 4x4
He can still level out his d50 by lowering the rear.
Does anyone have any information on where I could locate a lift kit? I'm trying to do an offset lift, 5" in front and 3" in back. I've been looking everywhere for kits and info but there just isn't a whole lot out there other than one body lift kit that you can buy. I was hoping to do a suspension lift and then put larger tires on the truck to add a little ride height and to allow me to put larger wheels and tires on.
upper control arms fron a first gen montero will give a 1-2" suspension lift and is a bolt on. sway a way did make stronger torsion bars that can be cranked up to give a 3" lift - someone on here said they found some. If you crank the old stock ones up, they will sag quickly from age and abuse. I also saw a post about montero torsion bars being swapped but I am not sure if that works or which ones. Try 4x4.com for more info on suspension lifts.

Dang, all this information about lowering. I just installed the stock rear leafs on my 2wd 95 and the ride quality is SSSOOOOOOO much better. My back would ache on the old setup where the middle leaf was removed. But not my back end is 3" higher and I need to raise the front.
So the best thing I see is the UPPER control arms from a 92-96 montero. Not the sport model. Am I correct?
Yes, I use my truck as a truck. I love my truck also.
the ucas are for 4wd - 2wd ucas are different
