lift

hey guys, i need to lift my jimny but im not sure how much buy or what i need, im using 31" inssturbo tyres . im assuming i need a 4" lift, 2 inch body, 2 inch springs. do i need a panhard reloaction, is there anything else i may need??

Standard panhards are fine on a 2" suspension lift. You will need extended brake hoses, caster correction bushes and a steering spacer

Which model Jimny do you have? And what sort of use? Body lifts are a bit like trimming the arches. Gives more room for the tyres. But doesn’t really offer any other off road benefits such as break over angle, clearance under the chassis or suspension flex.

ive got a gen 3 that im in the middle of converting into a pickup, will be argricutal and green lane fun use

Not sure on the Jimny, but on my 2" body lifted SJ I got to lift the transfer case 1" and front and rear bumpers 2" making better approach angles, as well as making a tucked up custom exhaust giving me a flat belly under there. Also had a plan of lifting the gas tank but never got around to it.
Lifting the transfer case made it very sensitive to drive shaft angle vibration but found an angle it was comfortable in after som trail end error.

Still considering the amount of work, I would rather lift more on the springs and cut more space out of the arches.
 

Have you changed the gearing for the 31's
I run 32's on a 3" suspension and 1"body 
Only fitted body lift to aid in cleaning the mud out 
Also I have no bumpers or arches/Sill covers 
Mud traps imo
