One thing worth mentioning is the diffence between standard tyres and remoulds.
My tyres are remould Muds in standard size (205/70)
Even with my 2" lift they only just fit and I still had to remove the mudflaps ! :)

Hello Guys, hello Nate,
I have a question, I bought from jimny bits a 2" body lift and wheel spacers and 215 -75 / 15 Bfgoodrich tires, but I was told by my mechanic that the body lift will affect the factory ride quality and the ride will become stiffer on roads, even though the website says other wise, I wanted to know since you have the same lift if the rides stiffens and handling is affected, my jimny is a daily driver and I ocaisionaly take it off-road.
Thanks

the body lift will not change anything ;)
i suppose it will be 2" taller and effect the COG a tiny bit
the ride will feel the same i am sure :)

Jack

p.s maybe your mechanic just doesn't want to do it so trying to put you off :unsure:

I am informing the public that I have finished all my additions to the Wiki article about tyre sizes, models and best usage practices.

The article is located here:
www.bigjimny.com/mediawiki/index.php/Tyr...age_-_best_practices

I consider that article 98% finished.

Part of the content of that article (the last three chapters) is replicated in another wiki article about improving and modifying Jimny for mixed on-road and off-road use: www.bigjimny.com/mediawiki/index.php/Imp..._and_all_terrain_use

By the way, that article is also 98% finished as far as I am concerned.

Well it ain't over until it's over.

After sleeping it over last night, I had some more ideas and some refinements to add. So now those should finally be (almost) finished.
