2" Black Raptor lift kit

Why would you need spring compressers?

Use a jack under chassis, unbolt shock mount, lower axle.

Thanks buddy, i was under assumption this was a must, having read martins install of his 2inch trailmaster kit to his sons jimny.
Didnt wanna undo too much..you know..
But, ill have a play now.Many thanks.

I spent nearly twice as much as the black raptor kit just on dampers and I thought they were cheap compared to some of the other better quality options. I know that not everyone has the same budget for such things and not everyone uses their Jimny like I do but surely decent suspension to keep it shiny side up is a good idea?

Couldn't agree more.

The Black Raptor seems to be getting a lot of attention these days. But not a single person seems to be interested in where the shocks comes from. For all I know they could be the absolutely cheapest shocks possible to buy. Pro Comp, AVO and Rough Country are cheap shocks too, but at least we know a little bit about where they come from.

Jimnybits claims that the shocks are matched specifically to the Jimny. But I'm pretty certain they are no more matched to a jimny than RC or Pro Comps are.

You not need spring compressor just remove pan hard rod bolt and un-clip brake hose from chassis if needed
you may need help re-fitting pan hard rod (i used a ratchet strap)
