Hi, i'm currently in the market for a Jimny for off-road purposes and I am planning on lifting the body
2" and the suspension 3".

Afaik i'll have to get a steering shaft spacer and longer brake lines. What else do I need?

You actually only need the lift kit and steering spacer. Longer brake lines are really only needed if you are doing a spring lift and body lift. They are advisable if going serious offroading but not essential.
I had standard lines on for quite some time with a 2" body lift and a 2" spring lift but as I now have a 4" spring lift I needed longer lines.

I'm planning on a 2" body lift and 3" spring lift.

Would I need the caster adjusting bushings?
