Spring spacers, yey or ney

I've got simillar 2" spacers to those pictured (not the Bits4Vits ones) + extensions to the front and rear shocks, I got the kit made up by a guy on ebay (nofearzuks) - he does list a jimny 1 3/4" kit but it's not what he did for me - just message him with what you want to do (the price was very good), (TBH a lot of the shock extensions seem to be the same design now wherever they are bought).

If you just keep the shocks standard the ride will be very hard (the shocks will be pre-extended) - and articulation will be very limited. At first I fitted 1.5" spring spacers + 2" shock extenders and this too made the ride very hard - fitting 2" spring spacers sorted it and the ride is now pretty much spot on (for a Jimny!). I find that the steering is as good (or as bad!) as it was pre-lift so I won't be fitting castor correction bushes. If you fit longer shocks or shock extensions you will have to fit extended brake hoses - which is what I'm in the process of getting sorted now.

That is just the info i needed, thanks.

I was leaning towards a whole lift kit but wanted to hear how others get on with the spring spacers first as a slightly cheaper alternative for me.
