Spring spacer ride quality was created by bling
Hi guys,
I have a 99 Jimny with 215/75 tyres and am looking at possibly doing a small spring spacer lift.
The vehicle is a daily driver and rarely sees dirt so I don't want to affect the handling negatively but would like to lift it 1 - 1.5 inches.
I have been looking at the bits4vits site, any opinions on the the blue 25 mm spacers or the orange 38mm/1.5" spacers?
Would these size spacers affect the ride quality or handling of the vehicle in a negative way?
Looking forward to any help I can get.
Thanks.

No eBay APP ID and/or Cert ID defined in Kunena configurationHi bling
Welcome to big jimny
The 1.5 orange spring spacers are well made and will give you a good lift on your jimny.
As for the handling the only negative is the ride will be a little harder, but not much go for the 1.5 kit.
A steering damper is a good mod as-well buy the bracket from big jimny for £18 and the damper off ebay for £12.99. the two with delivery £36.94 cheap.

do you also need to extend brake lines when fitting these spacers ? also is there enough free travel on the shocks ?

No need for longer brake lines.
If you use the bits4vits kit the shocks will work fine.

l had to make my front shock spacers as Dave at bit4vits only made 2" spacers at the time.
Good luck.
