hello & welcome to the best site for jimny's only recently joined here myself

there is body lift kits available for the jimny & are easy-ish in install ive recently fitted one myself

whatever you do don't be tempted to buy one of them cheapo so called body lift kits off ebay for around Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£40 they are totaly useless.

you will need to get longer brake hoses i did anyway unless someone has another option that they know

hi

thank you for your advice.

i've been looking at the lift kits on jimnybits and offroad-armoury.

would the lift affect anything else?? for example my 4wd gear stick??

thanx again

only other thing i had to adjust was the transfer lever as it would not quite go into 4l after the lift so a slight adjustment had to be made

gear lever was fine

Hi louise, im also new here

( many posts due to many daft questions and spam lol )
I wondered the same however I found a FULL but expeensive kit on zanfi.it - but it shows you what they recomendd changiing for the lift

---- try not to look if your skint, it will just upset you as it did me lol
You also need to extend the fuel intake pipe by the look of it ( bit of pipe, 2 jubilee clips )
