I got them from a guy on eblag, but these are the same in the Big Jimny shop:



These are for the back, they are a good idea as they let the shocker move in more than one axis so that bottom bolt gets less stick. The fronts were just box section with a stud welded on one side and a hole in the other, they go on top of the front struts, between the strut and the original mount. The seller was Nofearzuks (or something simillar!), best contact him and he'll make up what you want at a good price (he did have a 1 3/4" kit for a Jimny on ebay but it's not what I bought from him).

Just pointing out that I originally fitted 1.5" coil spacers and the 2" extensions and the ride was really hard. I popped in 2" spring spacers and that sorted it nicely. Don't forget if it's going to see any action you'll have to fit extended brake lines. With the 2" lift I find the steering still centres ok and I don't feel the need to go down the castor correction bush route.
