lower front end

hi guys,
i was looking at the jim today from the side and noticed the front end is quite a bit lower than the back,
this is probably due to the weight of the ORA front bumper the winch and steel winch cable,just wondering if i ought to fit 1" spring spacers to the front to bring it up level,i have noticed the front tyres do catch sometimes on the inner arch when under extreme articulation,what are your thoughts,
steve

You need some of these mate.

i was thinking 15mm or 25mm dont you think 1/12" might lift it too high. steve

see if you had brought a full proper suspension lift kit ora the springs are made to take the weight of all that stuff and a roll cage so no sagging

In what way does that help him now ?

well he already nos the answer even nos what size spacers he want to fit so it is no use to him now my point is why pay money for some thing that isnt up to the job and then buy more parts to try and fix a problem that saving and spending more money to do the thing you want it to do first time i had my jimny 18 months with a poor quality 3" lift so i worked harder and save and went with out on many thing to buy a full kit that was 2 years ago and not one component has failed with the kit i fitted

markyp2000, what a reply!!!!!!
when i purchased the jimny it already had all the kit on.

i was not sure which size spacers to fit that is why i put the post on,to see if anyone had fitted a specific size spacer,
what i didnt expect was a rant from someone telling me i had bought the wrong stuff,
but hey i suppose we all like a rant at someone now and again. steve

Mine has done the same mate , just bought 4 2" saucers so if you want 2 let me know

Spacers lol dam auto correct

hi steve

wasnt ment to be a rant if you had said it had a lift kit when you brought it i wouldnt have said most of what was said like i said mine had a lift lit when i got mine it sagged more than a grannys t*t and it already had 2" spacers in it is yours sagging on one side or is it even drop on the front cos you may find if you put a pair of spacers in it the same size it may still sag low on the drivers side you may need say a 2" on the drivers side and may be only a 1" on the passangers

i have had a good think about it today,and think iam going to go for exactly what you have sugested
2" drivers side and 1" passenger side and see how it looks. steve

measure from the center of each hub to the bottom of the wheel arch in a stright line and take the mesure ment then try jacking the body up with 2 jacks one on ether side till you think the hight is good and remeasure the hight then take away the lowest mesurment on ether side then that should give you what sort of size spacer you need
