when the anti roll bar is off, if hooning around corners it really gets a wobble on
what I mean by that is alot! of leaning lol

When I had es1000 shocks, it stiffened every thing up nicely
it was much more of a bumpy ride, but driving the jimny every day, you soon get used to it

Im choosing between the Old Man Emu 40mm or the Ironman 2inch lift kit. Might settle for the Ironman kit.

Go for the middle -
Ive got the ORA 2.5" mudskipper kit and think its great for road use and great for offroading. It came with everything I needed at a resonable price (when you add everything up). The rough country N2.0 shocks are nice and controlled for this lift and I dont think they are too firm. also Rob at ORA was very helpfull.
however, If you feel after a while you want a higher lift or in time they have sagged a bit. you would only need to change the springs or add spacers to give you your 3" lift. on the other hand if you wanted your jim lower this is also possible with the opposite of whats stated above - A real bonus of having the 2-3" rough country shocks

The only slight downside is If your like me and like things perfect , espeically your stearing (its a jimny I know but you get the idea) you may find that the correction bushes do help massively and most people would be happy with it but I think Correction arms would be better. (which you'd need for a 3" lift anyway)
Just my thoughts
