It's on;y a 2011, Kirky, the standard springs and shocks should still be pretty healthy! Spacers are definitely a better option than the cheap lift kits as you are using better quality shocks and more suitable springs.

Yes, if the mileage isn't too high. It's use rather than age. I'd put the Trailmaster kit above standard Suzuki in terms of quality though!

There are also shocks from Bilstein and Koni. Both comes in standard length. But probably the best option of shocks available for the Jimny

Brake lines are fine on a 2" lift if the ARB is left on. Taking it off gives you more articulation
but you will have to get longer ones.
