suspension lift??

(1/2) > >>

jimnysaf:
wanting to lift my jimny a few inches and have been told i need a suspension lift, can i get away with just 2" longer springs and keep the standard shocks or is there more to it??? will i need longer brake lines etc, any help would be excellent thanks.

jimny gary:
As per your other post:
a 2" lift consists of 4 x springs and 4 x shocks, you also need castor correction bushes and longer brake lines (llama4x4 are best for brake lines).
If you go over a 2" lift you need new castor corrected radius arms instead of the castor correction bushes - this is likely as i dont think anyone sells a 2" kit anymore, all 3" or 4" - i got my 2" kit from a breakers on ebay for £100 hardly used.

jimnysaf:
thanx for the advice, i bought some macho greenway mud tyres today part worn for  £60 205/75/r15s. im going to use these until i save for a suspension lift. i seen a 2" pro comp spring and shock deal so i think ill go with that then get sum bigger tyres. with a 2" bodylift aswell as a suspension lift will i need any extras?

jamesey:
be carful with the pro comp lift it tends to sag on the drivers side , put a search in for "jimny lean" and see what comes up , also the rear shockers rub on the rear panhard bar wearing them through , go with a rhino rays kit or a kap kit

jimny gary:
The Pro Com lean comes from the original pro comp 2" kit not having a longer/stiffer spring or the O/S/R of the car, later kits had these. My current car has these, whereas my first jimny 2" kit didnt and i had a spacer made. So if you can get a Pro Comp lift kit go for it as its loads cheaper than anyone elses, just remember to get Castor bushes, and extended brake lines from Llama 4x4.
