I originally had two sets machined for my (and my 2nd half) Montero but then friends wanted a set.

So I went to a CNC/Machine shop, gave them the specs and started to get some sets done up.

Selling them as a set -

-Two 1" aluminum balljoint spacers (tapered)
-Six Metric Grade 8 bolts/washers (replace original stock one's)

After installing these, you can safely raise your Monty and you'll be able to level it out or lift it without excessively cranking the torsion bars. This will provide a better ride and keep your front-end properly aligned.

NOTE It is recommended to have a wheel alignment done after you install them and adjust your torsion bars to the desired height.

Price per set including shipping in US/Canada :

$ 90 shipped per pair w/ hardware (Canadian or US funds / same to me as I work in Vancouver and Seattle every week back and forth)

*Note : These are for Gen II Montero's with bolt-on balljoints only. They will not work with Gen I press-on balljoints as the A-arms are too short.

I have 11 sets left.

I'll snap a pic of them installed.

If your Mighty Max uses Gen II upper control arms and the balljoint is bolt-on, then yes. If it uses the Gen I upper control arm where the balljoint is press-on, then it will not work.

Make note that they are only for Gen II Montero's (bolt-on balljoint) and not Gen I's (press fit balljoint's).

Hey I'm new here, and I noticed your spacers that you made for the montero sport when doing a google search. I'm from monterosportonline.com and I think we have a few more interested people last time I checked, how many sets do you have left?

Thanks

If you spacers look anything like what is in the photos, there is no way these will fit in a Montero.
