hi guys,
i was looking at the jim today from the side and noticed the front end is quite a bit lower than the back,
this is probably due to the weight of the ORA front bumper the winch and steel winch cable,just wondering if i ought to fit 1" spring spacers to the front to bring it up level,i have noticed the front tyres do catch sometimes on the inner arch when under extreme articulation,what are your thoughts,
steve :evil:

i was thinking 15mm or 25mm dont you think 1/12" might lift it too high. steve :evil:

see if you had brought a full proper suspension lift kit ora the springs are made to take the weight of all that stuff and a roll cage so no sagging

well he already nos the answer even nos what size spacers he want to fit so it is no use to him now my point is why pay money for some thing that isnt up to the job and then buy more parts to try and fix a problem that saving and spending more money to do the thing you want it to do first time i had my jimny 18 months with a poor quality 3" lift so i worked harder and save and went with out on many thing to buy a full kit that was 2 years ago and not one component has failed with the kit i fitted
