I informed my insurance about my lift, that was it, no hassle and no increase in premium.

lf you fit them to a standard Jimny, is there any chance that the springs could dislocate?
On the Land Rover it's the dampers that limit suspension travel.
Dampers are always a compromise. l've played with aftermarket ones on my Defender and "upgraded" usually means "stiffer" which can be good for fast road use.
The trade off is a harder ride on poor surfaces.

Adjustable dampers are the way to go, then you can alter them depending on what you are doing in the vehicle.

One thing. The Bilsteins mentioned above are listed for Gen 3
Are they suitable for the new model?

From the Jimnystyle site (where they're listed as for the Gen4):

"The shock absorbers are also longer than the OEM (standard) items, allowing for a ride height increase when used in conjunction with longer springs. Alternatively, you can use them in conjunction with the OEM (standard) springs and enjoy an improved ride without lifting the suspension."

So they are basically the same as my 0 to 20mm trailmaster then? They will accept a slight increase in height or allow slightly more droop.
