New dampers for 2" lifted Jimny G3 was created by RockJin
Greetings everyone.
I need to replace the front dampers of Jimny G3 (possibly the rear ones as well) which has 2" lift. Bought it used and already lifted so I don't know for sure, but looking at the sprigs and dampers it's a Pro Comp kit. The stickers of the dampers are blank and can't say for sure, but the dampers themselves are white with black rubber boots and oval stickers.
I must say that I'm more interested in rock crawling than mud racing so the suspension needs more travel. Suppose that the 2" lift is not enough but for the moment will stay with it. So what should I go for with 2" lift:
- Pro Comp ES900 for 2" lift
- stock dampers like Bilstein B6 with spacers What length do I need?
- Avo adjustable - someone in this forum said that he has adjusted the rear ones to be less stiff than the front ones and I find the rear ones of my Jimny too stiff so I liked the idea of fully adjustable dampers. But are these OK for rock crawling?
- or TEIN STREET ADVANCE Z4 Coilover + Spring Kit. Has anyone tried coilover kit and do you think it's suitable for my needs?
Also I noticed that the car still has original control arms and that explains for me the poor onroad handling, I'm not that experienced to say for offroad. What would you recommend , new control arms or castor correction bushes?

I run +3" arms all round on a 2" lift it drives fine
Stay way from pro comp way to stiff for a jimny unless you have extra weight
like steel bumpers roll cage winch ect

As Jack says, Procomp have a reputation for. being too stiff and harsh, steer clear of them.
Black Raptor are a good cheaper choice, most seem happy with them.
I run AVO adjustables and am very happy with them.
Castor bushes were a big improvement on my car with just 45mm lift.

Sniper are you referring to these Jimny Super Pro Castor Correction Bushes

I was going to search for the forum to see what people are saying about them.
