You need some new radius arms front and rear at that height though, not just for castor correction but they need to be longer to put the wheels back in the centre of the arches otherwise you'll have some clearance issues on articulation, certainly with bigger tyres. Dont forget prop spacers to go with the radius arms.
The problem with jimny modification is that one thing inevitably leads to another !

31" special tracks are 10.5 inches wide although maxxis mudzillas are 11.5 inches wide - might be Ok with the body lift but the 10.5 special tracks are good at removing my wheel arch extensions with a 5" spring lift and no body lift
gonna buy a cable tie factory!

DAMN!!!
Is that a total of 5" or 7" lift? I forgot to count..
Wow, looks very good! Are you sure 31's on 16" are enough? You should go 8" wide with that hight.

I am going to get some wide arches and trim wing and body back.
Hope that will stop any rubbing.

I'm not so sure that wil stop it all, as the front wheels are now nearer the bulkhead they may foul on the inner wing with 31's, mine did and new longer castor corrected arms fixed this. I'm very suprised that the car drives alright, ive had every combination going, from no castor correction, to bushes, to DG tuning arms, KAP twister arms, and now some ORA arms (had way too many jimnys - must be addicted!), if the steerings light get it fixed as in an emergency stop you'll find yoursef in trouble.
