Engine conversion combined with suspension lift

I want a 2" lift but i'm swapping to an Isuzu 1.5TD which is a fair bit heavier than the standard engine so obviously 2" lift springs won't give me a 2" lift. I'm considering putting either 3" or 4" springs in the front to compensate but as they are so expensive i'd like to get it right first time if possible

I'd imagine its because they are setup to get rid of the Jimny lean so yes it would have an affect. Why else would they give the option when buying them??

Those would be very nice but i can't stretch to them unfortunately

Correct, but this can be overcome with a simple small spring spacer on one side

I can only recommend that you save up a bit more for those springs. They are a perfect match to what you need.

I don't think this group is trying to press you into a purchase you will regret. On the contrary, I think they are trying to guide you to your initially stated criteria. I think Tom's recommendation is a very good one and I would hate to see you spending time and money to come to the same conclusion.
I started out with nothing & still have most of it left
