I have been in contact with Jimnybits and they waiting on the crossmember bracket to be made - they said it’s back en stock in a couple of weeks..!

Thanks. I have spoken to them a while back. But they couldn't or wouldn't provide any pics. I'd like to see some of the flex.
But maybe more importantly I'd like to hear how it rides and handles compared to stock, from people who have actually fitted it.
Buying suspension seems to be such a hard thing to do, as making comparisons is very difficult.
On paper the Black Raptor Premium kit ticks all the boxes, but I don't know real word, what it will do to the ride and handling.

Isn't black raptor their own brand using components from other manufacturers? Fine if its avo or trailmaster but not so much if its pro comp?

Yes, Black Raptor is there own-brand so that they can also sell it in other markets via other vemdors (I was looking at two Australian webstores the other day that listed them).
The springs are made for JimnyBits, so as far as I know are common across all the lifts offered, it's then the shocks that differ depending if it's a basic or a premium kit being offered...
I've used JimnyBits springs for years on Vitaras and now Jimnys, no problem with them, it's then down to your choice of shocks to suit your budget and how you want the Jimny to handle given it's usage onroad / offroad...
