If you have any thoughts about getting a winch and winch bumper, get the 2" diesel springs. If you're quite sure you'll never need a winch, get the standard 2" springs.

Handling is so much better when you have springs that match the weight of the vehicle :)

It all depends on use and budget.
My Jimny is mainly for comp use, so not sure it's comparable. I use it 5-6 weekends a year. But then it's pretty extensive use :)

Winches are from around £400 and up. But you'll also have to get at winch mount or bumper. A better battery and isolator switch is also recommendable.

But perhaps if you don't do a lot of offroading and only go greenlaning every now and then, a small 6000 lbs winch in a hidden winch mount will be sufficient. And as it wont be too heavy I suppose a standard 2" trail master lift will do :)
