I am considering turning it round. I see some have it facing forward and some have it backwards.

It has 3" spring lift and 2" body lift.

I got it done in about 2.5 hours. Would have been quicker if the battery didn't run out in my drill. There was some fiddly/awkward bits but nothing too challenging.

This is how it looks now. I'm quite happy with it.



Now this may be a silly question but won't rain go down the snorkel while driving along? Will that cause any damage?


That's a smart looking Jimny. Have you T-cut the paintwork, looks really shiny :)

Claybar is only a cleaner takes toxins out of the paint your best bet for removing swirl marks is paint correction using a mop and various heads cutting compounds for ur requirements then good quality wax
