I have a un-lifted jimny with a large roof basket (Thule 828). Which we use when camping plus towing a small unbraked trailer. The jimny has plenty of power towing and carrying on roof, but does seem a little top heavy going arround corners. . A fellow camper suggested wheel spacers to me, so as to lengthen the track. I have seen 2x types on the internet, Billet and grayston. I have standard alloys, domed wheel nuts, with AT standard sized tyres. Which ones are best suited + will I need to change to open wheel nuts.
I've got the greyston and my jimny drives great with them. Far more stable in the bends.
I fitted mine as I have a big lift and heavy cage with no anti-roll bar, so wanted to widen the track to offset some of the lift.
I've got some 32mm alloy spacers on mine and it feels fine although I haven't driven it without them and don't really go above 55mph but have taken it up too 70 with no problems.
