Hi mate,
I've got the 32mm Grayson spacers fitted, and its made it a lot better in my opinion. I had the car for about 9 months without them and it jumped all over the road at every little bump, its now quite stable and with the bigger tyres its stable on the motor way at 65-70mph, With my lift and big tyres. So yes I would definitely recommend them to anyone with a Jimny. All so better when off road as its got a wider track and makes it easier to run in the big tracks that the big crappy LR's make.

Thanks
James

Do you need to fit wider arches if you fit spacers (standard AT tyres, steel wheels) ?

Depends on tyres you run but to be "legal" the tread of the tyre should be inside the arch ,
You can fit bushwackers they are simple and cheep to make :-)

Is that safe? Driving without a sway bar?

it just leans more through the corners so you have to go a bit slower but it improves off road ability no end

Also got the 32mm Grayson spacers fitted, and its made it a lot better - so much more stable, both straight line (no more road meandering) and cornering, even the harshness over potholes and speed bumps appears softened.

nah they're OK
see the DogTaxi write-up
