As Jimnybits are in the UK and have had this kit for sale for a while. Has anyone fitted it or know of someone with it fitted to a 4th Gen Jimny?

They can't have sold no kits in all this time can they???

I'm seeing some OME kit reviews and other kits not sold in the UK online and on YouTube. But it would be nice to hear some first hand views of this kit too.

Haven't seen any black raptor kits on the Gen 4's I've seen in-person or online but seen a fair few Old Man Emu lift kits used. Not aware of how they compare on quality/price.

I guess that is a big fat no then :(

Surprised Jimnybits doesn't have some presence on the forum?

That's the one I would fit. Adjustable shocks & a true 50mm lift.

Ok, so this kit ia out of stock. Either Jimnybits has been robbed, or people have been buying this kit.

Google returns no results of people running it though. Surely someone here must know of at least one 4th Gen running the kit?

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... :)
