JImny body lift

(1/2) > >>

glaggs:
Has anyone done a body lift? and if so how succesful a mod was it. I have a 2" sping lift on mine and am considering a 2" body lift so as I can get 31" tyres on. Any constructive feed back would be appreciated.

Hi glaggs,hav,nt got a jimny but i did my own 2" samurai lift and i supose its pretty similar.Apart from lifting the body up on 2"blocks the main area,s you have to extend are steering bar from bulkhead ,petrol filler pipe, brake pipes to resevoir and you may have to trim the tran,s box gear stick hole as it alters the angle of the stick.Bodylift not only makes more room for tyres but it also opens up all the gaps underneath that hold mud making it easier to powerwash,Hope this helps.

Hi glaggs.
This is my jimny with a 2" suspention lift and a 2" body lift.
The tyres are 30" and still rub with the lift I have so will still need to cut the arches about a bit.
I made my own lift kit as the commercial one I bought was crap.
Buckshot was about right with his advice. Although I didn't need to extend the petrol filler pipe. I had to modify the bumpers a bit though.

Hope this helps Muddypaws

Hi muddypaws. My jimny is already heavily modded, trimmed arches, winch bumper etc. but to get me through the ruts I need bigger tyres. Ialready have a trial Jimny gear reduction kit fitted which allows upto 31". I knew I would have to extend the brake lines and fuel filler. Wasn't sure what I would have to do to the steering 'cos I've had mixed reports? A bit more tec info on your lift would be aprreciated. I was going to use 50mm box to make up the spacers?

Will try and attach a pic of my truck as it looks now. Has the mod seriously affected stability off-road?
