I dont know jim Willy, but you dont need castor corrected arms with a 2" lift. If you look at www.dgtuning.com you'll find 2 items of interest, one is castor corrected bushes which cope with up to 2 1/2 " lift, and the full monty corrected arms which i have , they cope with up to 5" of lift. If your going to lift your jimny there are two options, 2" lift from www.explorerprocomp.co.uk  which is dirt cheap but quality, or 4" lift with corrected arms and other goodies from DG tuning. Go for the latter, because you arnt going to stay with a 2" lift are you......
I thought i would, but [!Expletive Deleted!] it!

thanks for info gary , i have allready fitted a pro-comp 2inch lift with extended brake lines also extented the air-pipes for hub lockers,the problem is that the road handling is terrible light and vague , the steering doesnt self centre and veers left or right when it hits road bump, been told i need corrected radius arms  ,  off road it does what i had hoped for  but road  handling gone out of the window .

mine was like that when i first installed it, but settled down after 2 weeks or so.  I'd try the castor corrected bushes for yours, thats supposed to be ok for up to 2 1/2 " lift. I'm on new arms which has the castor corrected for higher lifts and will be wrong for your car, unless you go for a bigger set of springs too !
