Comfort in Suspension lift question
My problem is that when I consider the consequences of modification, I then don't bother making the modifications. It's almost as if Suzuki already thought things through! I read far too many claims that go completely against my basic understanding of physics. What I do know is shiny stuff that people have spent their own money on always get positive reviews.

First is using the strength of the springs be they the road coils or the anti roll bar to overcome the bodies tendencies to lean but that will make the ride very hard. Or you can retain some ride comfort with softer springs placed further apart relative to the centre line of the vehicle. Hence the spring perches are spaced further apart on the back axle to improve stability instead of matching the front dimension.
When people say that they have a feeling of more stability with wider tyres what is actually being felt is the additional unsprung weight associated with the wider wheels and larger tyres. I have driven several other Jimny with big tyres and back to back with Dreadnaught on standard alloy wheels and tyre size and the difference is so pronounced and personally I don't like the feeling of the additional weight as it detracts from the delicacy of the steering.
Very much agree, I would actively source tyres that performed well and were lighter.... Unsprung weight is a big negative. Your car is quicker off the mark than mine, noticeably so. Mine picks that up quite quickly but you would get 10ft on a standing start easily, at second gear...
