What 1.5 inch lift kits are we running?
There are so many combos, some with extensions, some without, some just use springs, some brackets work loose ect.
So far its looking like:
Llama4x4 REAR EXTENSIONS (polybushed ones)
Bitz4Vitz SPACERS (with spring cutout)
And what FRONT EXTENSIONS do people use?
I see Jimnybits extensions don't work with Monroe front shocks (says on website) this isnt too major of a deal but if I ever need to replace the shocks it makes my kit obsolete.
However I have been told that I won't need front shock extenders because I still have the front ARB attached.
Ideally I don't want procomp ect, too stiff and I literally won't be using it enough off road to warrant a wicked setup like that.
Hope you guys can help confirm a choice for me and if you have any photos please post them too.

There is no right answer to your question as it is mostly dictated by the amount you have to spend, with the obvious caveat that you get what you pay for. If you are not doing much milage off road then from a practical point of view there's no real reason for lifting a Jimny, they come from the factory with a good amount of mountain goat in their genes. If it is for aesthetic reasons then yeah a set of spring spacers and off you go. Horses for courses and all that.

Thanks for that J.O.J ideal.
Im willing to pay whatever, main reason is being up the N.Yorkshire moors at the place I took it too last week I was hitting the diff on the main access road a lot due to the heavy ruts left by heavier jeeps. So really its needed for where is local to me and the plus side is looks.

Only taller tyres will give you diff clearance 195 80 15 or 215 75 15
both of these tyre sizes will fit standard jimny
suspension lift will allow for taller tyres

Hi, I'm Bits4Vits and ZookBOB, I couldn't answer your question properly on eBay as they monitor messages and are very strict about making deals off of eBay...
i can combine whatever bits you want though, just drop me a PM on here, if it's my Bits you are after...
