Cheapest lift for the Jimny? was created by Jim Jimny 95
I've been wanting to lift the Jimny for a while even if it's only a few inches but don't have £££s of pounds to spend just wondering how much it would cost for a basic lift and what I would need to buy? Price ranges would be great going from the cheapest lift to the most expensive thanks :)

Other than price, what are the pros and cons of that? I take it shock spacers would be needed also?

The cons are that you don't get the extra articulation that you get with longer springs and you will need spacers or longer shocks. The polyeurethene spacers have a little 'give' so potentially you get a better ride. If you just want to get the body up out of the way then its a cheap solution. I run longer springs but mostly my reason for a lift is to improve the break-over angle and to give room for slightly larger tyres - spring spacers would be adequate 99% of the time.

Some Suzukis and a bunch of motorcycles.
