Normally is say remove the bodylift then fit the ora kit but i have a feeling you will need both with those masooooove bead-locks :ohmy:
Not sure what if any problems you may get though


Yeah but they are really sexy.

Infact atm im fantasizing over them more than our lass :laugh:

Same size as yours Dave.

Btw yours look sexy as hell too :)

Mine will have 2'' bodylift and 4.5'' spring lift and perhapes some trimming!

How much forward did you have to move the axle. Do you think you could have done it with a bodylift instead of axle move?

Axle has been moved foward 1 1/2 inches would they have gone under with a body lift i am not sure think the problem was on lock the wheels were heading back into the floor/door so as we had to build new mounts for the G Wagon radius arms the decision was taken to move it foward as a matter of course.
Think some people are running 32s on standard jimny set up so must be possible i just didnt want to go to high on the truck with lift due to what the truck is being built for althogh there will be a a lot body work trimming to be done.
It is a massive amount of work to move it foward so avoid at all cost nearly as much fun as moving the rear springs outboard of the chassis legs that was another game all together.

if you're fitting an ORA lift kit then it should have different length springs for the front - fit the longer one on the drivers side and the jimny should be level
