I have just brought a Jimny, not that i've been in it yet and reading through the spec list of 2" body lift and 3" spring and shock lift with castor correction bushes and shock repostioners. It has not got uprated radius arms or panhard rods, do you think these will be needed or will it be ok on the current setup ?
The castor correction bushes are meant for a 2'' lift but i have the same setup as you on my car and i don't have any problem. As for the panhard rods i believe you should change them so that your axles are in the center of the car.
As kyrris said caster correction bushes are only meant for 2inch lift and yours is 3, but if the +3inch springs have sagged a bit if they've been on a while and done a bit of work then it'll be OK as is. If it wanders about on the road badly, doesn't return to centre then caster corrected arms might sort that.
If the axles are badly off centre, again cos of the 3 inch lift, then you'd need adjustable panhard rods to bring them back to centre.
