I got the trailmaster comfort 2". Have not tried any other. Came with extended brake hoses.
I tried without the Castor correction, but I Think the car was awful to drive, did not center the wheels by itself after taking a turn at all.
Much better with the offset bushings.
Ride is good, but of course it is not a race car. Speed bumps are tackled at speed. No need to slow down as much But not exactly comfy passing them.

Norway 2005 Jimny M16A VVT, 235 Cooper Disco, 2" Trailmaster, ARB rear lck.

I found the same yakuza on my precompiled shock and spring lift, the corrected castors should be recommended as part of the 2-inch lift if anyone considers it.

That is strange as this is the one I supply and fit and I have never found castor correction necessary as it is a "low" lift (measured at 48mm on our cars)
