Mitsubishi L200 (K74 – 1996-2006) Lift Kit – Pedders

Approx. +40mm Front Lift • Approx. +10mm Rear Lift • Complete Heavy-Duty System With Uprated Torsion Bars

Finding a proper, complete lift kit for the Mitsubishi L200 K74 in the UK has always been a nightmare. The K74 uses a torsion-bar front end and leaf-spring rear, which means most “lift kits” either reuse tired old parts, rely on cheaply extended shackles, or give you mismatched components that never ride or handle properly.

So we built the kit the K74 should have had from the factory.

Working directly with Pedders, we created the Auto House Shop Expedition Lift Kit, a fully engineered system designed specifically for the UK-spec K74 (1996–2006, 4D56 engine). This isn’t just longer shocks and a torsion-bar crank – this is a complete suspension overhaul with uprated components throughout.

And unlike most kits, ours includes brand-new uprated torsion bars, ensuring the front end lifts correctly and can actually support the extra height without sagging, binding, or riding horribly.

Why This Kit Works

Uprated Torsion Bars – The Foundation of a Proper Front Lift

The K74’s factory torsion bars soften with age and were never designed to hold extra height. Lifting on worn bars causes:

• Sagging
• Harsh, unpredictable ride
• Bottoming-out and topping-out
• Excessive ball-joint angles
• Premature shock failure

That’s why this kit includes brand-new heavy-duty uprated torsion bars designed to carry the lift properly. Combined with the correct shocks, they transform the front end – giving you extra height without the compromises.

This is what separates a proper lift kit from a cheap crank job.

Front Shocks – Built for Lifted Geometry

To match the uprated torsion bars, the kit includes:

• Longer-travel Pedders front shocks
• Internal valving tuned for lifted torsion-bar suspension
• Reinforced mounts
• Oil/gas design to maintain control when loaded or off-road

These shocks keep the front end controlled, comfortable and predictable – not bouncy, harsh or unstable like most DIY-lift setups.

Note: The torsion bars must be wound up during installation to achieve the lift, this is normal on torsion-bar platforms.

Rear Suspension – Genuine Lift With Heavy-Duty Components

To raise and stabilise the rear, the Expedition Kit includes:

• Heavy-duty multi-leaf rear springs
• Matched long-travel rear shocks
• New bushes and hardware

These provide:

• Approx. +10mm rear lift
• Better towing stability
• Reduced axle tramp
• More planted road manners
• More predictable off-road behaviour

The K74 chassis can only accept so much rear lift safely – this setup achieves a balanced stance without stressing driveline angles.

Bushes, U-Bolts & Hardware – Everything Replaced

Every pivot point is refreshed with new components:

• Heavy-duty U-bolts
• Polyurethane bushes
• New bump stops and hardware

No reused bolts.
No tired rubber.
No shortcuts.

Expected Lift

• Front: approx. +35–40mm (via uprated torsion bars + adjustment)
• Rear: approx. +10mm (via uprated leaf springs)

Final height may vary with accessories such as winches, bull bars, roof tents or rear loads.

What’s Included

A complete heavy-duty lift system containing:

• Uprated torsion bars (pair)
• Front long-travel shock absorbers
• Rear heavy-duty leaf spring packs (left & right)
• Rear long-travel shock absorbers
• Full polyurethane bush kit
• Heavy-duty U-bolts
• New mounts, hardware and installation components

Everything is brand new, correctly matched, and chosen specifically for the K74 platform.
