Personally I think it...

    As long as the hardware used is top quality there is no negitive, I will be and need to do this in my Pajero. I may get the spacers ordered soon to do so.

    Gen 2/2.5 Pajero/Montero Front Ball Joint Flip - Good or bad?

    Spacing the upper ball joint down allows for more droop travel. With the Tbars cranked the front ride height can be topped out with resulting crappy ride manners.

    Gen 2/2.5 Pajero/Montero Front Ball Joint Flip - Good or bad?

    Some of us have 50 years of experience working with, designing and modifying suspensions. And you have how much? My remark refers to a raised Montero with spaced upper joints during normal driving conditions.

    Killed another water pump, less than 1500 miles on it

    As long as you can find the pin hole the plunger would be in the proper extension. Just how contaminated could the coolant be after a service, granted I could be overlooking many options. Can you flush the system well before breaking it down? How about the little vent hoses from the front of...

    Diagnostic plug is where you plug a scanner into. You state "at the coil" there are 3 of them. The fuel lines do not go "into the firewall" There is a single wire connector on the firewall that you can apply 12V to and run the pump.
