Trailmaster 2" kit was created by Little Terror
I'm going to fit a trail master 2" lift and do a 2" body lift what's the best tyre size that will fit with only a small amount of arch cutting on 15" wheels.

Whilst I sell the Trailmaster Kits here....

www.bigjimny.com/store/index.php/jimny-p...it-petrol-/p_32.html

(Note that delivery is included in that price when looking around)

....I would have thought you would be lucky to get 31" tyres under such a lift. With aggressive mud tread the "rolling radius" of a 31" tyre is often approaching 32.5" (do you like the mixing of metric and imperial!)

You will always find people who have managed to get 33" mudzillas under a Jimny "with a quick rub down of the wheel arches with a Barbie Finger nail emery board", equally you will find people who could not fit shopping trolley wheels without an 18" lift and step-ladder access. What I am saying is that there are no hard and fast rules regarding what tyres will fit where (hence I rarely answer "what tyres will fit?" postings).

I would have thought you would be able to get 30" tyres under if the tread is not too extreme. Remember that there is only half an inch difference between 30" tyres and 31" tyres (think about it)

Thanks for the info and when I get my jimny I will give you a call also are 235/75/15 29" high.
I was going to get the 3" ORA kit but after reading how going over 2" on the spring lift can throw all the steering geometry out and needing castor correction ect I am now going to stick with 2".
I have seen the jimny trailmaster advert on YouTube and that seems to handle very well.
