Hadn't looked in a while, but there seems to be lots of suspension items added to the Jimnybits website recently.
I guess of most interest is the 3" and 4" lift kits....
Looks good. Although it does rather annoy me that they use the same images for both kits. Clearly the white Jimny photographed cannot have both the 3 AND 4 inch kit fitted at the same time. And it doesn't bother to tell you which kit it actually has. A little bit smoke & mirror or switch & bait. As one of the kits will not end up looking like the sample images in their listing.
It'd be good to know what the kit differences are too. Is it just 1" longer springs. Or are all the bits different? The website "implies" the radius arms are different for each kit, by specifically referencing the lift height.
Personally I'm still undecided on which lift to go for. I really like the idea of the OME ride and damper quality. They also relocate the panhard rod which nobody else seems to bother with. But it just lacks suspension travel and is a bit pricey.
So it'll probably come down to the 2" or 3" Black Raptor kits. 4" is likely too much for me. Although I'd like to see how the 3" performs on the road compared to the 2" before committing.
Oh, and one more whinge before I go, as it really irks me.....
Two different products both being touted as "the best shocks for your Jimny".... so which one is it?

It's the one that you purchase and fit, them are the rules!
