UK (RHD) Jimnys have different springs between the rear near-side and the rear off-side. ie the springs are "handed" and you shouldn't swap them between sides.
EUROPE (LHD) Jimnys have the same springs between the rear near-side and the rear off-side, therefore you could swap the springs between sides.
Therefore, taking this information and putting it into the LIFTED situation. I would expect a UK lift kit to offer springs that were specific to each side and a EUROPE lift kit to offer springs which were the same on each side. Therefore when buying a kit you should ask the supplier what his kit supplies.

I was going to say - instead of getting Jimny lean on the right side, you'll get it on the left :laugh:
