Gen 4 Suspension - Help with Wind and Body side to side

Hi All,

I am looking to see what could help with the huge amount of body toss left and right. I have noticed that the during high winds or bends, the body tends to lean one way or the other.

I have done some research and I have some mixed answers.

Would a 40mm , 50mm or even 60mm lift kit help with the suspension feel and comfort?
Wider tyres? Wheel spacers?

I do drive mainly on bad roads, very little city driving but I do a lot of highway driving.

Any thoughts or suggestions?

You are not going to like this but unless you are actually using that roof rack because of a genuine lack of space in the car removing it is going to be the cheapest way to improve the car's stability. If you are using it a lot especially with heavier or bulky items up top then slowing down and driving to the comfort zone of the car is again going to be the cheapest option. My gen3 is running heavy duty dampers and has one of the lowest side profiles in the community this side of a bikini soft top and even it is horrible in side winds not so much for lurching around on the suspension but just being pushed off course.

Lambert is correct about the roof rack but the FrontRunner racks are nice. They will still cause problems, even if lightly loaded. I know from experience. As far as strong winds causing a problem, I would suggest that it is just (unfortunately) the nature of the beast. Also as Lambert says, the only real solution is to adjust your driving.

From what I've read (Still waiting for mine), the consensus from the Aussies that have fitted suspension lifts and slightly wider tyres is... a great improvement in on road handling.
Whether from, bilstein, OME, Tough Dog etc all say that unsettled feeling is vastly reduced.
If there were uprated shocks / springs in std length, I think quite a few people would go that way who don't do more technical off road. Quite a few people have gone with 40mm lifts just to gain advantage of the improved spring / shock combination.
The slightly wider rubber on the road and relatively shorter sidewalls also help.
Something to consider.

Maybe for you the answer could be to Lower the suspension?

Mostly out of curiosity but for all they say they do lowered springs none of the country specific sites list any kinds of Jimny?
