jimny 2 inch lift

[Thomas]

just fitted my ome 2 inch lift springs, and need some shocks now.

do you no a good place where i can get some from. i was thinking of pro comps because they are the cheapest???

also i think i should put some wheel spacers on??

thanks tom

[jims jimny]

pro-comp  ES1000 will do
and you don't need wheel spacers

[glaggs]

lrsoffroad.co.uk do a few bits for Jimny's. You don't need wheel spacers, if you fit 'em the tyres will catch the plastics. Have you disconnected the anti-role bar?

You may feel the need to fit a steering damper or look at some sort of caster correction mod though.

One day it might look like this?

glaggs have you done the weld mod for the castor correction or just fitted the bushes im in dronfield and would like some advise on doing this as mine has had the 2" pro comp lift but now it feels lethal on the road the steering is so twitchy i went on the m1  to huddersfield and by god i pood myself when a lorry overtook me it nearly rolled it over it felt really scarey , ive fitted the pro kit with the es 1000 shocks ive taken the anti roll bar off for better articulation  and dont get me wrong its great off road exept for the crank sensor fault that ive posted on here
just tell me if i have the weld or bush mod done the the front castor arms will it lowwer the car at all cause basiclly your turning the front axel back up 1 degree , sorry for going on but i need to make the jimny safe again :roll:

hay mate

i have them on my vitara and thay are great,the best ive had yet,real good road manners too,

id say looking at the pic above thay the same size as mine

Hi damohick, Yep they are 31's and I find the great so far, good in mud and good on the road. Better than the Colway MT's they replace, and I used to think they were the best!

Jamesy, I did the weld mod, as its cheaper and fairly easy to do. It doesn't noticably lower the truck but does restor stability. Before the mod I had a steering damper fitted, now I don't need it.

Heres a link to the mod thread on here I hope

Thanks for the replies.

I tried explorer 4x4 but there is a 3 week wait for the shocks, do you no anywhere else i can get some from.

and i have been looking at the link to the front radius arm mods, because i agree it is now lethal on the road.
Thanks tom

nice one glaggs , ill be attempting this over xmas , where do you do most of your lanning , found any good tracks around here???????? :lol:

[glaggs]

Most of my Laning is done with NCGL (northern counties green laners) who can be found at www.ncgl.org. We regularly do trips to Derbyshire, lincolnshire and North Yorks. The best lanes that are still open tend to be in Derbyshire. We also do pay n play days and Marshalling for AWDC challenge events.

Cheers for the info about the tyres guys, think I'll go for some!

My 3 week wait from explorer turned into 7 ... LA super trucks said they could get them for me faster
