Can anyone confirm that a 1.5" lift will not adversely affect steering/centering

If you just need a bit more height in the back, consider fitting front springs in the rear. They are slightly longer, giving 40mm of lift. You will need some means or compensating for the Jimny lean (as standard the nearside rear spring uses thinner bar than the right). I chopped 3/4 of a coil from the nearside spring and it sits nice and level and rides nicely. The front springs are still standard on mine.

Body lift wont effect the steering but a suspension lift over a certain height will

Many thanks, that's reassuring.
