If you do go for the full lift kit I would stay clear of the es3000s as I have these and they make the ride mega harsh. I'm hoping to have a go in someones jimny with es1000s to see if these are any softer.
Does that mean the by using a 2" spring spacer, there is no other modification needed? i.e. extension of hose, brake lines, pan-rod, bumper alignment, etc?
I've seen a couple of eBAY listing on 2" spring spacer... just want to confirm that the 4 pieces are all that is required to make my Jimny taller, whilst still maintaining the look.
I believe that it is just the spacers that are required, no need for different panhard rods, bumper mods, castor correction etc. The only thing I'm not to sure about is the longer brake hoses, a18suf should be able to confirm as she has 2" spacers on hers.
As others have stated, if you space the springs by 2" then you need to extend/longer shocks as well.
