Welcome Tommo

Best read the thread currently is discussion.
www.bigjimny.com/index.php/forum/6-jimny...509-body-lift-extras

the cheap bodylifts on ebay are poop

I have this and is great
www.jimnybits.co.uk/shop/jimny/jimny-2-/...ift-kit/prod_45.html

Handling wise shouldn't make much difference. I have an external cage and so its heavy.

Transfer box lever will want bending slightly.
