Busta - that looks awesome. I think if I were to replace my 2004 with a newer Jimny I would do what you have done there. Have you done any other modifications?

Standard Jimny front springs are 330 mm free length. So it's actually more like 1.5" shorter than TM springs.

Spring rate calculators are easily found online and can be a great help when figuring out what springs to choose.

Yes, it's quite subtle. My Jimny's have always sat low at the rear anyway and I prefer the level look. It probably helps that the springs on the back are off another used Jimny so will already have a bit of sag.

2-low switch, home made roof bars. That's it. Works perfectly well for me just how it is! Only thing I will be doing is fitting a 1.6 as and when I get the chance.

I have the Trailmaster 3" springs on mine and I am very please with the ride. However I have a lot of weight on the front so it was not quite a 3" lift at the front and they do not do a Diesel spring in 3". I topped it up with a pair of spring spacers to level the car off.
