Good day!!!

I am planning to set up my Suzuki Jimny for my end of year holiday (2013) and would like some support with the extras I will be adding on to it:

1. Body Kit 2 inch lift,
2. Towbar,
3. Side Step,
4. Bull Bar,
5. Tyres,
6. Long distance fuel tank.

I would appreciated it if you have experienced any problems installing these items.
:)

Why a bodylift? I think it would be easier to do a small 2'' springlift and more advantageous eg flex etc.
I am not saying a bodylift is without it's advantages as I have one, but I only did it for the extra clearance in conjunction with a spring lift and to get my 33's under without savaging my inner wings.

A long distance fuel tank is a good idea but remember the Jimny is only a little 1.3 and you'll get to a point where you need more fuel to carry more fuel (if that makes sense). Most of those other things you shouldn't have any issues fitting. There's posts on the forum with most of the info you need :)

You will find a 2 inch spring lift is a lot easer to fit than the 2 inch body lift.

Is the body lift to allow room for the long distance fuel tank, a bit like the overkill engineering one?
