Hello,

When i brought my Jimny last month it had a pro comp 3" spring and shock kit and a 2" body lift.

Last week i fitted the caster correction radius arms from ORA, do i now need to change the rear shock repostioners back to standard ones ?

I also changed out the transfer box brackets as i broke one to the ORA ones and fitted the uprated bush kit they offer and after installing as per instructions with a rubber either side i had the front prop knocking on the cross member so had to put the two bushes they provide under the front bracket to lift it up enough to prevent this. Has anyine else suffered from this problem ?

Thanks

the rear positioners are there to stop the shock binding on its bush so leave them on even with the ORA arms.

as for the mounts give rob at ORA a ring and tell him your problem and he will sort it im sure hes a top chap

...........i use mountings from rockwatt on my sj transfer box mount and they clear the cross member easily

Have you got the right mounts for the right box ? What box is fitted (Jimny or Sj ) ?
If you have a set of robs arms that are designed for the Sj box into the Jimny then there lies your problem.
If it's standard replacement Jimny arms you could try slackening the 4 bolts on the long arm, tilt the box back and retighten. Due to the bolt holes in the arms being laser cut they will be slightly over size and give room for adjustment.
