Trailmaster 2 inch

hi guys I'm real close to buying 2 inch trail master lifting kit but before I commit I need to know if there's anything else I need to buy ? I've heard about a correction kit ? And new break lines ? Anyway be glad of any advise.

Sorry to be asking so many questions but I want to make sure I get it right. Should I buy a three inch lift or two ? I use the jimny everyday to go to work but it's only 3 miles each way but intend to do some off roading. Thanks again.

Haha ignore my last post , the description in your shop answered it

I can help you with that.
The Trail Master Standard 2" lift springs and the 3" springs are actually the same height. The difference is that the 3" springs are much harder. The 2" diesel diesel springs are 15mm shorter.

Hope this helps.

Spring rates and free length, front springs.
Standard Jimny springs: 21 N/mm
Trail Master 2" springs: 26 N/mm - 368 mm
Trail Master 2" diesel springs: 36 N/mm - 353 mmm
Trail master 3" (diesel) springs: 40 N/mm - 368 mm

I don't have specs on the rear springs. But the 2" springs are the same for diesel and petrol. 3" lift springs are longer. If you decide to go for 3" lift consider 2" lift springs for the rear. The 3" rear springs are rather long compared to the front ones. So only use these if you drive with a heavy load in the back.

thankyou dk, 2 inch it is, but the wife says i have t5o wait for january with xmas on the way, gutted

If you have any thoughts about getting a winch and winch bumper, get the 2" diesel springs. If you're quite sure you'll never need a winch, get the standard 2" springs.

Handling is so much better when you have springs that match the weight of the vehicle

Now I'm truly stuck, will only be doing a bit of off roading, how oft n do u use your winch ?

Winches are really expensive nsive aren't they ?

It all depends on use and budget.
My Jimny is mainly for comp use, so not sure it's comparable. I use it 5-6 weekends a year. But then it's pretty extensive use

Winches are from around £400 and up. But you'll also have to get at winch mount or bumper. A better battery and isolator switch is also recommendable.

But perhaps if you don't do a lot of offroading and only go greenlaning every now and then, a small 6000 lbs winch in a hidden winch mount will be sufficient. And as it wont be too heavy I suppose a standard 2" trail master lift will do
