Lifting was created by Camey2006
Hi,
I’m new to Jimnys but am attempting to lift my one
I have now purchased, +2” springs and shocks and a +1” body lift. Is there anything else that I will need before I begin to lift it (brake hoses, handbrake cables, steering column etc)?
Also I have seen some posts about caster arms, but I’m not sure what these are or if I’ll need them for this type of lift?
Thanks in advance for all the help

You will need extended brake lines with the addition of the body lift. Castor correction is not always necessary depending on how the car drives after the work. Basically it affects the self centering of the steering.

with the 1" body lift no steering modifications are needed 
just make sure you can select 4wd low without any interference (stick shift transfer)
