lift advice please was created by davert85
with pay day a few days away im currently debating what to do lift wise.

help here would be gratefully received. being a novice, sometimes my wallet over rides my brain and I end up with things I don't need, understand, want etc. iv done countless hours of research but am still not sure or decided.
forgive the simplicity of this question, and its owner, but can somebody please break down for me what I would need to buy when carrying out a lift of 2 inches and a lift of 3 or more.

im aware that with the 2" lift I ca pretty much get away with buying the shocks/springs and that's about it (correct me if im wrong) but if I go down the 3" route what would I need to buy, where from, how much etc? be good to here peoples own views on what they did and their own lifts, experiences etc.

I should probably mention I shall not being doing any extreme off roading but I will be pushing my little jimny as far as I dare in some cases, as well as using it as a lamping truck and on shoot days.

any info, tips and advice would really help. huge thanks in advance

david

I'm in exactly the same position, ready to go for a lift and doing a little research.

I am unsure whether or not to go for a Trailmaster 2" lift kit

www.jimnybits.co.uk/shop/jimny/suspensio...ift-kit/prod_67.html

Or go for the full Jimnybits 3" Procomp kit

its a damn tricky situation huh. I was only going to go for the rough country shocks myself, I do want the 3" but can I really warrant spending close to a grand for an extra inch when I can just go 2" for under 400 quid. its such a huge difference. I got this little jimny as its cheaper than than the ford randgers iv had and defender....but the more mods I do the closer the cost gets to my previous trucks haha. which route do you think youl take..???
for me 3" looks better no doubt...
2" is only an inch less and a whole load cheaper.

Your best going bigger first as you know if you go 2" you will end up paying twice to lift it higher a month later.
