After some tyre/410 transfer box input

ive just got a 410 box and props i need a couple other bits and then should be good for fitting it all in.

im thinking of going with 215 80 15 sahara's i currently run 195 80 15 sahara's and cant moan about the tyre and how well the jim performs on the lanes even in lardy sorry landy rutts.im just after a bit more clearance with out killing clutches and making the jimny worse to drive.

The other thought i had was i know richiesjimny was running 235 75 15 on a 410 box and a m16a fitted (ive also got an m16a fitted) and he said the combo was spot on for laning.

I'm only running a 2" suspension lift and i know with the 235's i need more clearnace so was thinking do i go for this size instead of the 215 80 and do an 1" body lift and a bit more arch trimming.i only really do green laning so want it to drive half decent,although i am concidering a couple of p+p days this year but not basing my decision on this.also before anyone says i cant afford a proper lobster box.any input much appreciated thanks

I know of a guy down here in south africa who ran 215 80 r15 on his vvt jimny with a 2" lift, personally if i would recommend 235's and a 3 inch,

When I look at a car it must be properly balanced.

Gearing,
Height,
Power,
Ect.

Im i am not mistaking, i think you did a engine swop?
Yes you have enough power for 235 then , most guys who run 235's have roll cages and go the 3 inch route and get their results they want.

Only reason i havent considered a body lift is because of the mounting of my aftermarket bumper,

At the moment my fuel consumption is so bad i wana go from 215 75's back to my set of 205 70's but i probabily will not...

i think you got muddled:-)

front jimny prop stays as it is , the rear prop is replaced with a front 413/samurai prop (not a 410/santana as they are 16mm to long)
the gearbox to transfer box short prop is replaced with with a samurai item

and if your fitting to a later pushbutton transfer box model the a custom gearbox to transfer prop would be needed but the gearing is wrong in the later gearboxes (strait through in 5th not 4th) so it would be advisable to change to an early gearbox as well.
