Here is a site in Taiwan that i have found.
It looks like they do a complete 3 inch lift kit.
Has anyone had one of thee and do you know if you can buy direct.

The kit in the far east is complete with caster correction bushes, bash plates x 5, longer brake lines, pan hard rods, steering damper etc so would include i think all you need!

My mechanic does not recommend to use 3" kit, he claims that 2.5" is the maximum that is recommended for Jimny.

Do you know what is the quality of this kit?

Hi
I was in contact with them, they will post to UK and other European countries. The big problem is Import Duty and post costs :S that you will have to pay. Email them and they will reply back. Argue the price as they will bring it down ..... ;)

looks like quite a comprehensive kit. I the think 3" lift kit is taking the castor correction bushes to the max. beyond that you really need to be looking at castor corrected radius arms like what ORA sell as part of their kit. expensive but good proper job
how much is this package if you dont mind me asking ?

I would much rather pay a bit extra and get kit from a UK supplier that is reputable, like KAP or RhinoRay - or D+G Tuning in Belgium as you know their stuff is properly rated for the vehicle rather than whatever makes the vehicle sit at the right height, whatever the spring rate.


It might be more expensive and you might have to get all the other bits seperately, but it's better kit and where suspension and brakes are concerned, you want good kit.
