are the ones with the height difference. Its only about 1 inch and this longer one is the drivers side.
Mine sits nice and level.

Rears are unequal as standard but for some reason all the lift kits make the fronts unequal to achieve the same thing. I'm not sure how much R&D goes into the aftermarket lift kits compared to Suzuki.

Could it to be with the change of geometry due to the increase in height? Also, why do the jimnys lean in the 1st place?

The chassis was first used on the SJ series in the 1980's on leaf springs.. At the mid nineties they modified it to produce a limited run of coil sprung SJs. This chassis had some minor modifications to become the Jimny in 1998.
Therefore the chassis and suspension was never specifically designed for the Jimny. Hence I think they needed to compensate for a minor imbalnce in the weight distribution. The left hand drive cars, with a different interior layout, didn't suffer purely by co-incidence.
I read somewhere that the compensation is for 14kg but not sure this is true.
