Might be worth checking the thread "how tall is your jimny" looking for one the same height then asking the jimny owner what they've had done?

have alook at the springs, if they are a different colour like red or white most probably a 2/3" lift


or look out for some thing like this, just 2" spacers on top of each spring

and have alook at the body mounts if you know where some are

I thought the best lift for a jimny is 2" spring and 1" body lift, so It could be both

cheers , definitely no spacers on springs. the springs are black. i will look for the body mounts later and i'll get some fresh pics up.

hmm thats odd, if it is 3" I doubt it would just be a 3" body

a body lift is more complex than a spring lift

you can go 2" on spring and you have no problems at all, any thing bigger than 1" body and you have to extend the steering rod, the fwd,low range lever had less movement and probably wont inguage

so a bigger hole is need to be cut out , brake lines etc theres more too it basicly

if your sure its been lifted it should just be a 2" body lift is my guess
