One of the most common upgrades people want to do to their Jimny is to lift it. This can be for a number of reasons varying from "the look" through to fitting large tyres or replacing a tired suspension. We like the look of a slightly perkier Jimny, not a soaring lift but just enough to make it look a bit more purposeful.

I have videoed the experience and the videos are below......

Over the past few months I have been carrying out some little modifications/upgrades to our Gen4 Jimny and created some video guides.......

• Part 2 - Building the gears (HERE)
• Part 3 - Re-assembly (this part)

Has power been an issue for your Jimny?

It's not an issue here! Check out Keithy's Trayback build

The kit I am using (Trail Gear) contains gears and parts to replace/add to an SJ Transfer box. Within an SJ transfer box are effectively three gearsets/shafts as follows:

• Input shaft - The Trail Gear set contains a replacement shaft to which you add either the original bearings or new bearings as you prefer,

• Counter shaft - The Trail Gear set contains a replacement shaft and gearset to drop in,
• Output shaft - The Trail Gear set contains replacement gears for the original gears, you either re-use the original bearings or new bearings as you prefer.
