Height check! was created by chimpbikes
Hello All,

I apologise if this is a silly question but I dont know the answer.

I bought a 2006 model with lots of good bits(winch, snorkel, spot lights) already on and it is raised up 3".

My question , how do you actually check the height, where do you measure (from where to where) to check if the actual raised height is 3 inches?

It does look high but i want to check before I start buying correction bushes, panhard rod mounting brackets etc. because it as none of these things.

It does have a steering damper and longer brake lines.

Thanks in advance,

Martin

before you get the castor correction bushes , are there any problems when driving ? any vicious shake or wobble and does the steering wheel return to centre ?

standard jimny - for now

It does return to centre "ish" and the cornering can be a bit hairy/scary sometimes and it can be a bit lively driving at 60 on bumpy B roads.

Like I said above, I bought the Jimny 2nd hand and it has been raised a good height and I know the radius arms , bushes etc are all standard. Reading the threads on here I thought it would need "sorting" a little more.
I'm away offshore just now and cant measure the actual height (door handle rear light cluster)
