Gen3 Montero aftermarket suspension sheet

[ChrisCosta416]

Hi everyone,

I compiled a Excel sheet of all available Gen3 Montero shocks/struts and coils available. I also threw in some other items here and there.

All this info was compiled with the help of Leo and Marcus from the Montero FB Page. I have curated it to the best of my knowledge!

How convenient, I was just thinking about finally doing my suspension upgrade based on my tax return.

I noticed you covered a wider variety than we normally see (Lovells, Kings, etc) anyone have experience with some of the less common ones? I already did the bilstein 4600 upgrade (the shocks were really bad) but I'm planning on doing springs for sure, potentially bushings and ball joints depending on how generous the government is feeling this year.

I currently run OME suspension on my Gen3 and I have been doing a lot of research into common Gen3 “lifts” in other countries and what works and doesn’t, all items listed here have been mentioned and reviewed a bunch of times in other countries. I myself want to buy the Koni Raid shocks eventually

I noticed we have a lot of new Gen3 owners!

Welcome and check out my Gen3 suspension sheet for advice of lifting your 3rd Gen! I will also be posting the 3.8L maintenance guide soon.

Where are you seeing the the RAID shocks fit 3 gens? I'm only seeing that they fit gen 4's. Is there no difference between gen 3 and gen 4? All the parts websites I see say they don't fit our vehicle.

Gen3 and Gen4 suspension (Shocks and struts) fit either generation.

Compatible over the NM/NP/NX series.

- More aftermarket bushings
- A few more aftermarket shocks and coils
- Upper Control Arms
- OEM parts list updated
- Revised name for Koni 82 Series shocks also known as Heavy Tracks.

I have uploaded a .pdf and excel sheet as well. @plh I missed some of yours :/ next revision!

Still gotta put my EXTRA heavy duty Lovells front coils on there my man; for those looking to run the full gamut of front end bling: 3+ Skids, Bigger or Dual Batteries, Bull Bar, Winch, and Rock Sliders.

HA, looks like I have to updated it again! What about the "Lovells 50mm+ Raised Extra Extra Heavy Duty Rear Springs (CRR-92HD)

 

[SONICMASD]

Wow, never heard of those actually, they're not even in the Lovell's Catalog. But yeah, might as well put them on the sheet in case anyone wants to run that much weight in the rear.

Since you included the TC UCAs and to contact Jamie does that mean they're available?

Also, many thanks for bringing the info from Montero FB page here. Not everybody has Facebook, nor should they.
