Those would be very nice but i can't stretch to them unfortunately

I'd imagine its because they are setup to get rid of the Jimny lean so yes it would have an affect. Why else would they give the option when buying them??

Correct, but this can be overcome with a simple small spring spacer on one side ;-)

Or you could just swap the springs from side to side. If you really are after a budget lift, You could go to a breakers and get Honda CR-V or MERC 180 springs. But with budget springs comes budget problems.

It's been fettled just a tad.

I can only recommend that you save up a bit more for those springs. They are a perfect match to what you need.

I don't think this group is trying to press you into a purchase you will regret. On the contrary, I think they are trying to guide you to your initially stated criteria. I think Tom's recommendation is a very good one and I would hate to see you spending time and money to come to the same conclusion.

I started out with nothing & still have most of it left
