what I mean by that is alot! of leaning lol
When I had es1000 shocks, it stiffened every thing up nicely
it was much more of a bumpy ride, but driving the jimny every day, you soon get used to it

Ive got the ORA 2.5" mudskipper kit and think its great for road use and great for offroading. It came with everything I needed at a resonable price (when you add everything up). The rough country N2.0 shocks are nice and controlled for this lift and I dont think they are too firm. also Rob at ORA was very helpfull.
however, If you feel after a while you want a higher lift or in time they have sagged a bit. you would only need to change the springs or add spacers to give you your 3" lift. on the other hand if you wanted your jim lower this is also possible with the opposite of whats stated above - A real bonus of having the 2-3" rough country shocks
The only slight downside is If your like me and like things perfect , espeically your stearing (its a jimny I know but you get the idea) you may find that the correction bushes do help massively and most people would be happy with it but I think Correction arms would be better. (which you'd need for a 3" lift anyway)
Just my thoughts

I really like mine. Not too stiff and to be honest dont really notice much difference on the road from the standard set up all seems smooth.
Offroad - so far so good, havent done serious offroadin, I only installed mine a month ago and havent had a chance to really test it (due to work) but my initial oppinon is its a great kit.
Id go test it right now and give you a better description of the offroad ride but Im currently still offshore working and wont be home till the 15th.
Hope this helps.
