I need an opinion about the suspension! (take off spring spacers)

I have spring spacers with 2" (50mm in the front and 45mm in the rear) but I'm thinking put the front springs in the rear of the Jimny and buy only 2 new front springs with +2,5” to compensate the front, because the standard front springs are 55mm higher than the rear standard springs. I don´t know if you sell only the front springs, but what are your opinion about my idea.

I just don't know if the standard front springs are stiffer than the rear springs.

Regards
Leonardo

the spring in the front are different each side, the drivers side is longer so you would end up lopsided bad ideas ever cutting courners just need to buy a liftkit if lifting anything or it just doesnt work out right

Only on RHD Jimny's.
Maze is from portugal, so his Jimny is LHD, and front springs have same length :)

i agree, dont be a tight ass and buy a kit, cutting corners with suspension not a good idea. and to be honest most people get a 2 inch but then they put coil spacers in after, just get the jim bits or ORA i think... 4" kit with arms you wont regret it, i wish i bit the bullet and got a full kit. now im saving for a full one and have to sell my 80mm kit...


just my 'opinion though' ;)
