Jimny bits lift springs was created by 96BHP
i had the 2" lift fitted on the jim from jimny bits when off roading last week snapped a spring so seen this as an opportunity to get some more lift and go for a bigger set of springs the +3"

the new springs arrived this week so got around to fitting them pulled the springs off the truck and measured them up with the new ones and there is no visible difference between the two??

is it the stiffness between the two springs the difference because there is no difference in length...



top spring has the front +3 stamped on it
where the bottom has the +2 stamped on it

No these were both the drivers side springs ie the longest of the 4 in the kit compared with the +2" spring that was taken off of the drivers side.

Have you got a photo of all the new spring as this might help, and is that the only old spring that you have removed,
