I suggest spending some time googling "live axle suspension" "solid axle suspension" "radius arm suspension" to try and get your head around how the jimny suspension works as it's very different to most other modern cars and 4x4s

Just to clarify by diff case I'm referring to the portion of the axle case under the diff ring gear.11/60 wrote: Just because you can, would you really want to shave the bottom of the diff case?
Compared to some of the other major mods available it's a pretty simple and cheap one. It also allows you to increase the thickness of the bottom of the diff casing without losing the ground clearance caused by a bolt on diff guard. Depending on how you shape it, it can also help reduce hang ups.
If you use cv/double cardan type drive shafts you can angle up the diff input to point directly at the t-case increasing the amount of case you can cut away.
However doing this will mean moving spring/shock attachment points back on top of the axle and having to cut and reweld the swivel balls on the front to correct caster.

Just a minor lift right?
I've been looking on some 15" tyres on the bits page but could not find higher and as thin as the 195/80/15 ones.
First I liked the idea of the Kaiman ones but since a while I've changed my mind to the Kobras.
I see lots going for the Goodrich's but I don't know if thats for me.
Maybe you have had discussion about the kind of bigger work of raising parts as axles earlier but anyway I've learned tons of possible solutions through this thread.
Good morning from Sweden by the way!

I have read about lots of advices here, is there possible any favorite threads that coves these kind of modifications?
Another thought, has anyone here built a Jimny that can handle jumping without bottoming out spring and putting to much strain on other parts?

Did something hit the transferbox or did it just break because of the shock?
So something like this suspension would not be enough for some airtime?:

This is for now my primary choice and still together with 195/80/15:
www.jimnybits.com/wheels-and-tyres/tyres...x4-offroad-tyre.html
Maybe one should go for something where you can set rebound?
And what about progressive springs?
In what order would things fail if jumping the car?
Depends on angles, and what is lands on. But if we think rallycross-style jumps, which seems smooth and nice.
Clutch is another thing, have been looking a bit at the ones in the BigJimny-shop.
By the way, do we tag people in this forum? Is it possible?
