id like the extra inch of clearance to fit bigger tyres and go better places....

for extra articulation go for new longer arms the jimny ones r too short

if u worry u die if u dont worry u still die so why worry

I would have as little lift as possible! I learned lower is better, I dont believe you need more lift for bigger wheels as when the suspension travels the wheel still needs to fit within the arch, and also the front wheels still need to turn when on full travel.
I've lowered my suspension to 3" and wish I could remove my bodylift if it wasn't such a task due to my 6 point external roll cage.

the lower centre of gravity the better

how much further will a stock jim lean over before it falls over compared to one with a 4" lift?

surely its quite a bit further as the COG is much lower.
