2" suspension lift

which would you recommend, i'll be mainly greenlaning and using jimny for shooting from?
prices and suppliers, how difficult is it to fit?
:sick:

for light green laning and shooting id go with this kit from bits4vits

www.bits4vits.co.uk/store/jimny/1-5-jimn...-black/prod_843.html

this way you have the standard soft and supple jimny suspension and as for fitting its one of the easiest thing to do on a jimny

If you can afford it, I would go for the Trialmaster 2" comfort kit. IMO this will gives the best ride quality (better than standard) and good on road handling.

If you are on a tight budget then the Bits4vits spacer kit is a popular option. It gives a slightly harder ride than standard.

Fitting is not too bad only a few bolts on the shock absorbers to undo. Good trolley jack and axle stands required. If you look you find a detailed fitting procedure by dirtydogz. The lower rear shock mounts can be tricky. Fit bottom bolt first before attaching at the top, otherwise you might cross thread the thread on the axle. You can buy rear shock relocation brackets (part of the bits4vits spacer kit) which also over come this issue.

I am well pleased with my Trialmaster kit, completely transformed the ride and performance.

Don't forget that if you go to 2" you should also consider fitting the castor correction bushes. I have yet to do mine. Steering is a little vague but you can live with it.

I did a review a while back on my 2" lift. I will be updating it soon.

Cheers

Here you go jfkenpoman. I'll save you the trouble of looking them up.

About £150 for the bits4vits spacer kit and about £600 for the Trailmaster kit. Various other kits are also available. Another popular kit is available from Jimnybits kit at about £350

IMO go for one of the kits with replacement shox and springs rather than the spacer kit if you can.

Have fun!
