And santa brought you everything you asked for.!! lol.
I am considering a 2inch suspension lift on my ragtop Jimny,
Any help would be appreciated, basically ..can i just fit shocks and springs?
Or, will i also require castor correction bushes, bump stops, extended steering..and extended brake lines, read quite a lot on here ref..different ways..
What would you guys recommend?
I want a bit more travel for off road, but still want sensible on road manners.

maybe bump stops if you're using bigger tyres
I would say fit the 2" lift see how it drives then make decision on castor correction

My next question, a lot of people talk about the 'jimny lean'..mine doesnt seem to suffer from this, looking at the springs with the kit, 2 x long..2 x short, will i need to fit a spacer as some recommend? or just fit as it comes??
Thanks, sorry but i am a bit of a novice with suspension kits on these cars..any help would be much appreciated, i intend to fit as soon as weather allows..also do i really need spring compressors??
Thanks.

But do remember to check your bumpstops now with longer shocks. They may need to be extended as well. Otherwise shocks may be damaged on bottoming out.
