Sorry about the delay only just noticed your question, the kumhos are very good on and off road and they seem to cope with mud very well although ive not tested them in REALLY thick mud.

How is the steering? I'm surprised the wheels turn at all, I tried 33s on a Vit with only 2" of lift once and the front wheels would only turn about 10 degrees.

Some Suzukis and a bunch of motorcycles.

looks like you've got a 3 inch, do you still have ARB fitted, i removed mine and found it handle alot better on the high way, and handles the rut's even better, tough looking jim.

i have a 3" lift and no front anti roll bar. before i had cc bushes fitted in the front arms you had to be very on the ball to drive it. now with the correction bushes its as precise ( well nearly ) as our polo. i only have the cc bushes fitted to the front.
the removal of the anti roll bar will give more flex in the front suspension.

standard jimny - for now

No idea if I have an arb or not. Complete amateur. I only bought it Saturday. How do I know if I got or need correction bushes and castor arms etc. I've always had standard cars and paid people to fix them when go wrong. Dumbass really with mechanics

ARB or anti roll bar is located on the front axle its a bar apox an inch in diameter and U shaped , it has two brackets with bushes bolted to the chassis then two drop links that go to the axle .
For the cc bushes just do a google search but above a 2" lift and full cc arms are recommended
