ive had my jimny for a month now and im saving up to mod it , but at the moment the suspension is super uncomfortable there is no bounce at all its shaking my and the missis to bits are they all like this
an example i was coming down a hil at 35mph on a bend in the wet and i hit a man hole , well it sent the car into a backend skid because of the sus
if i lift it with new springs and pro comps will it be a better ride please say yes :lol:

I had a pro comp 2 inch kit and did not think it was as good as the original setup... It seems to eat the rubber bushes in the rear shocks and the ride is not great.

What i did was run Greenway Machos at 15psi and that made a huge difference on and off road.

Its the short wheel base that generally provides a rough ride.

I would advise offset wheels or spacers though to counteract the height gain.

Goodluck
