3" Trailmaster lift with 1.5 Spacers on front
Customised winch bumper and roll cage

Corrected arms all-round, rear disks, Recaro seats and harnesses

The kit I sell includes everything including the longer brake line.
We did not put caster correction on our Jimny as a two inch lift does not affect it too much. There is a slight change but not a lot and its preferable to the harsher ride that a typical correction bush would bring

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.

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.
