I wasnt planing on lifting it merely fitting longer shocks to give more droop keepimg the wheels on the ground for longer 
How much would it limit upwards travel fitting +2" shocks but keeping original springs?
I suppose id be asking to much for someone with a 2"lift to experiment for me :whistle:
would a set up like im thinking be at all beneficial offroad even if there is a loss of upwards travel?

If your planning on spending some dough anyway, why not lift it? You won't regret it.

All your suspension components have to work together - to get the best out of it you want everything matched up as best you can. A 2" lift on a Jimny is nothing drastic - it will look fine with your 195/80 KL71s and in my experience you should be ok without castor correction on +2". My blue runaraound Jimny has 2" lift along with 195/80 kl71s (and wheel spacers) and it drives bob on
