I have a shogun pinin (pajero io, montero etc) which I use as a farm vehicle it never has to go on the road or be remotely safe.

I was wondering if I could lift it somehow using a welder, as proper lift kits are basically impossible to get for pinins, and would be expensive too.

Thanks for looking

Can't do that Ged - it's a monocoque Laughing

Most of the lift kits would have spacers for the top of the front struts and spacers again for the rear springs so you could fabrication them.

It's not possible to do a body lift because of the monocoque construction
