Thats what their website says too. But my supplier showed me the Tough Dog parts book and theres a 100mm lift kit there, so I've ordered.

This guy has a 100mm tough dog kit too , so maybe it's an Australian thing?

When I've installed it, I'll take some before and after pics with a ruler and you can be the judge.

No need for a ruler
I was just a bit puzzled by the 100mm lift thing, but mainly because I've been in contact with Tough Dog regarding suitable springs for my Jimny, and they never mentioned anything about the 100mm lift kit. But of course also because it doesn't show on their website.

my 80mm kit turned out to be 100mm over standard lift...... :silly: :silly:

Went and did a couple of lanes for a couple of hour's. 3 weekend ive been out must have next weekend off.

.

Well yesterday I went laning with the Surrey and Hampshire Offroad club, joined by rexthecat, from Hampshire to Wiltshire and onto the plains. A good day was had by all except I almost killed my Jimny Went through a rather large puddle and was lucky I didn't take it enough water to hydrolock the engine. Then my rad fins where so clogged with mud it kept over heating on the way home. Managed to clean out the rad at the services and get home OK :laugh:

Any a jet wash today and all is good again

If you always have as much fun as it looks like you did today I wouldn't take a weekend off!

Looking good with your flex!

Be careful jet washing a radiator as it can bend the fins and cause more overheating problems
You're best using just a hose pipe an no pressure

I made sure I stood some distance away to make sure the power has dissipated

Changed track rod ends to find out there's four lol and that I need new king
pins now £££££

You only need the bearings and an axle oil seal, they are fairly cheap. The kingpins very rarely wear, despite what Suzuki would have you believe.

(And there are 4 ball joints but only 2 are track rod ends, as there is only one track rod, the other is a drag link/rod but the joints still fit)
