Ideally yes, or your steering wont self centre.

Hi mate,
I had the same lift on my 1st Jimny and never had them. The steering dosnt center back as normal but to be honest it dosnt need it, & for the price of them its really not worth it in my opinion.

Thanks
James

Yeah,
I've had a 2inch spring lift for nearly two years, no it didn't self centre and tended to follow "tram lines". I've recently fitted the castor correction bushes I bought with the kit when the standard ones wore out.

On the 9th day he swapped it for a Jimny.

Hi mate what do you use the Jimny for as in do you use it to commute to work or is it a play thing. The Jimnys tent to wonder/bump steer because of the track width, this can be rectified by 32mm wheel spacers a must in my opinion, but the bushes im not convinced about. It really dosnt take much to get used to it. But everyone whos bought the buses will say different that they make the jimny steering like normal.??
Each to there own mate
