4" suspension lift, 3" body lift?

for sure i will, maybe ill even make a build thread as i do alot of my own fab

I will be buying a jimny in the new year to replace my landrover and i have a nearly new set of 235/70/16 insa turbo special tracks which are about 29" tall. I know i will have to change the wheels for 16" ones becuse the jimny has smaller rims.

I will be running a 4" suspension lift but will i have any clearance issuse with running 235/70/16 on these wheels www.4x4tyres.co.uk/jimny-1998-to-2005/16...el-wheel-p-3922.html
Also i dont mind doing some arch cutting to gain better clearance on articulation, but i dont want to buy wheels and have my tyres fitted and find out they dont fit or they scrub realy badly.

Many thanks

Hi Guys,

so sorry to hijack this post.

I just did a 3" body lift and a 4" suspension lift kit on my jimny.

Planning to fit in 29"s MT tires, i have been reading through all threads but i kinda don't understand the theory behind the gear ratio etc.

I wish to fit in 29"s MT tires, but i would like to have like stock tires consumption etc, what do i need to do? For now, my car would be 80% road driving except the the weekend trips.

Any feedback is greatly appreciated.. thank u in advance..

Anything above 31" is just for show no matter what.
And 31" tyres is fine with the standard transferbox, as long as it's for road use.

If you're building for offroad, then a rocklobster is mandatory, no matter tyresize.

Why ?
A 4" lift on its own will take as big a tyre as the axles can stand so the 3" body lift is not only pointless but will make it worse offroad due to a higher centre of gravity

+1 I'm running 29's at the mo and currently sourcing parts to fit an sj410 box in my Jim

Hi..

What does a SJ410 box do?

It has lower ratios meaning I can run my 29s with out slipping the clutch

Oh okie.

but if i use my jimny for mostly road use.. like 80%.. should i get that too?
Thanks in advance.

Not really unless your running big tyres

Would 29" Mt tires be considered as big tires? :S

Yes
Tbh a 410 is ok but a lobster box is much much better ,

y would any one do such a big lift I run 29s with a 3 inch lift and get full articulation with no rubbing at all so y the extra 4inch would make things worse
