First of all, at least one person has challenged the warranty issue and got an agreement that parts that are not modified and not directly affected by the modification are still covered. However, I would guess a Front Diff might be considered to be affected due to things like prop angle etc.
There are different Diffs fitted to different models and I believe you are not in luck as having a newer Jimny means yours is different to the bulk of the older ones in scrapyards.
Have you tried CAM SUZUKI, KAP SUZUKI as they handle recent write-offs or RhinoRay -

I would 100% try the dealer for warranty first mate. just play on that its not affecting the diff, or it would be cheaper to whack standard springs on and have them fix it.
Still have no luck on finding a diff for the car. It has a different ratio diff to the older model. So if any one hears of one please let me know. My diff has a ratio of 4.3 which rhino ray says is unusal.
Well its not unusual, its fitted to all recent Jimnys. Its just unusual in the sense you will not find many in scrapyards at present.

I cannot tell from the info you have posted. Is it a specific part within the diff thats failed and if you had that part then the diff could be rebuilt? Or is it completely written off.
