2" suspension lift

With the 150 quid ish bits4vits kit you probably wouldnt need the corrected arms as it 1-3/4 ''

im thinking about doing the 2inch suspension lift,will i need extended brake hoses and rear shock brackets?

Hi chrisharman

No to both. Rear shock relocation brackets do three things.

1) Lengthen the shock, so only needed with spacer kits as these retain standard shocks.
2) Make fitting rear shox easier. A lot or people recommend them to make the job easier, but they are not essential if you are careful and use good quality shocks
3) Some cheaper shox have poor quality lower rubber bushes and can pull out. I have come across this issue in the past when replacing standard shock. Shouldn't be a problem with the 2" shox.

Longer brake hoses only required if you go to 3" lift. Care needs to be taken to unclip the standard hose when dropping the axle to make sure the hose is not damaged.

Before I brought Trialmaster kit, I did have a ride in a 3" Jimnybits lift; 2" jimnybits lift and one fitted with the spacer kit. All were fine, but did not give the ride quality of the Trialmaster. The next best was the 3" Jimnybits lift.

thanks for your help pgatensuk.
i was looking at getting the jimnybits 2inch suspension lift kit
with the es3000 shocks which is in my budget.

Very popular choice chrisharman.

Meant to say, that access to a angle grinder might be useful, as the top nuts on the front shox can rust and be difficult to remove, unless you a nice little grinder.


Have fun!
