lowering a jim ? was created by reaper
Anyone lowered a jim ? Have a couple of questions 
Im thinking 2" lower
So swap front springs for backs to drop the front 2" then find some to suit the back any ideas ? And any problems with doing this ?
Ok so thats the springs , how about shocks will the stock ones be ok or will i need shorter ones ?
Last one now castor correction .....needed or not ? And if it is would the bushes put in the wrong way round work ?
Loads there for you to go at
Any other things/problems you can think off ?

I have a big lifted jim so dont need the next one to be any kind of off-roader so thought how about lowering it a tad ,
13_" wheels lol no dont think so not only would they look daft in the arches but pcd and bore is waaaaaay off , if anything id want some 17" or 18" with lower profiles to keep the rolling diameter the same as stock
