Yes but i fitted +3" radius arms all round
Didn't want castor bushes and it's still on a 2" lift for now

YOU might need adjustable pan hard rods after your lift

Getting there with the welding

.

Tuning the welder is the first trick. The second trick is the copper spoon. Also using transit front bonnet for repair metal .

Lads seeing as I’m going to be under the Jimny all Christmas with the rust do you think a 2” body lift would be a good use of time?

Getting good energy from X8GGY S project build and some good ideas from reading his build.
Starting to go under the body now. Getting ready to take off the front axel and do a proper clean up replacing bushes at the moment. This Jimny only has 41 k on it and so far most components seem to be ok. Think I got to it in time .

Doesn't look much better but they did come out very clean. Hit them with Kurust and I've reckoned brakes.

This has to have a name ie stealth or subdued if you get what I mean. All the capability in a discrete cover if that makes any sense. Really like it thanks for the offer HG0606. Mighty.
