Depends how far you want to go. The is lots of options and most pretty strait forward.
You will get lots of different answers over what is best but I will say if you don't go over 2"
Its simpler and less parts involved. Let the discussion start.

Thanks Wombat
That'll be this one - www.bits4vits.co.uk/store/second-hand-pa...used-/prod_1338.html
Taken off my red Jimny build that has since been abandoned... done about 10 road miles
Standard front springs on the back give 1.5" lift* and a new set on the front with a pair of my spring spacers on the top, saves any castor issues.
Monroe Adventure Jimny rear shocks with repositioners to correct the length for the lift, and rear GV shocks used on the front for the extra length and similar weighting...
*As with all lifts, you'll probably get more lift than stated as your current springs are already sagged, this happens with most aftermarket kits, so say they say +2", that is generally over the height of a new spring would be, not your 50k miles springs

everything you need is there
just use the bolts that hold your rear shocks on now top and bottom
as the fronts have new nuts and bottom bolts in
