Why not consider a suspension lift instead? Easier to install :)

Already got a two inch suspension lift mate I'm a plant mechanic so the works no issue just wondered if it was a tithing were the car was off the road for a day or two weeks the kits seem to vary so much just wondered if all you needed was the blocks or do you need to extend the gear stick steering column ect

Slight bend to the transfer box lever, watch brake lines, especially where they bolt to the chassis on the O/S/F, It's a doddle with the jimny bits kit and a couple of hours with a trolley jack. The cheap ebay kits are rubbish.

I think this is what supergaz meant by watch the brake lines on the O/S/F you will need to make a bracket when you undo the bolt and lift them up.
