Well Christmas has come early for Kieran and Jimny as i have just bit the bullet and bought him a 2"/ 50mm Pro Comp Lift Kit with Procomp ES3000 shocks with dark blue boots. A set of rear shock repositioners/spacers with longer bolts and a Brake Balance Correction Bracket from Jimnybits.

i'm looking forward to getting them fitted but do i need any specialist tools or just what you would find in a normal tool box?

Is there any thing else I will need?

Any help is appreciated.

Paul

For a 2" lift castor correction bushes are generally not required as the change is tolerable.

i know some of you might not approve but the brake balance corrector, the rear shock repositioners/spacers and the coil springs are getting a nice coat of red paint
