Castor corrected arms £190
Extended hoses £59
Relocation Bracket £10

has anyone had any direct use off these products if so how are they any problems anything to look out ? how does it compare to the kit on off road armory etc any help orfeedback muchly appreciated also i have missed anything i would require for a 3" lift
Many thanks
Martin

The jimnybits springs do have a longer front drivers spring which compensates for the extra weight on that side and mine sits level.
With a 3" lift you will also want adjustable panhard rods.
I would happily recommend ORA, Jimnybits and Bits4vits who are all members of this forum
And also Martin of Bigjimny who also gives excellent service.
There are other suppliers who I have not much experience with.
Why not phone them all up for a package deal?
Be careful with the wallet though as the mods don't ever stop and there will always be something more that you will want.
