It will look like it should have from the factory IMHO. Best all round spec for a daily driver 2" and 215's.

Mines only on the spring spacers so 1 3/4" but the room it made in the rear arches made it look much better and will look even better once i've got some bigger rubber under it too.

Black Jimny's don't get stuck!

That does look good, you wont be the only one with a trailmaster kit, im definatly saving now.
Did you remove the anti roll bar??
My jimny is non abs and a daily driver with kit would you reccomend? how much of a difference is there compared to standard?

Yes, the ARB is still on, mine's a daily driver and infrequent 'laner...

Handles like a normal Jimny*, still zips round as I elected to keep the tyre size stock but went for some knobbly Maxxis Trepadors -



* in my opinion though it just about needs castor correction... I initially lifted the Jimny with Spring Spacers and that handled perfectly, raising it to 2" with the TrailMaster kit and it feels a little "vague"... there's no Jimny "Death" Wobble, it just doesn't quite self-centre properly, and wanders if you run over a cat's eye at speed, etc...

Mine's the ABS model, so I went for the matching kit...

Check out Martin's pricing here in the BigJimny shop, no idea how he can afford to sell them that cheap! :huh:

(I offroad a Vitara normally, so the Jimny's mostly my runaround)

cheers dave, i was guessing that i might need to invest in castor correction bushs and trailmaster steering stabiliser but you rekon other than that you leave everything else standard pandhard rods etc?

Yes, Trail Master recommend the fitment of the steering stabiliser...

Castor correction is just about necessary in my humble opinion... if you're doing it, try it first, drive it and see what you think... I've got used to it, but my missus doesn't like driving it now (hmmm, that's not a bad thing though? ;) ), although I'm sure as soon as it snows again it will disappear again! :lol:

Yes, everything else seems fine @ 2", but wait and see what the other experts on here think, I know Vits better than Jimnys... I'm still learning too! ;)
