My Jimny From Portugal

My name is Leonardo and i'm from Portugal. I have a Jimny 1.5 DDIS (Diesel)

so annoying that you get the diesel over there and we dont
nice jimny

Welcome this fine forum Leonardo it’s good to have you join us ................

Genuine diesel one would be nice

Today in the forest at the end of the day...

My new front sprins +2" and a Rear Panhard Relocation Bracket! Next saturday i will mount the springs and put the standard front springs in the rear because they are about 55mm more longer than the standard rear psrings.

the tool to compress the springs...

Some personalized look...

You don't need the springs compressing tool if you remove the lower bolt from each shock. Then it's easy to install the spring with the axle lowered. This of course requires that you jack up the Jimny and remove the tyres.

I have the tool just in case of necessity!
But thank you for the tip...

Today was the day to roll up our sleeves and get to work ... put the new springs (+2") in front and the standard front springs in the rear!!!!

The placement of the Rear Panhard Relocation Bracket and the standard front springs in the rear...

The test to see if everything was okay

Conclusions...
The front and the rear is much softer, I should have to create or buy some Springs spacers with 10mm or 15mm tall to put on the back because I confirm the springs +2" (front) from jimnybits comes with about +3" and not 2" because the standard springs have about 340mm length and the srpings with +2" come with 415mm length +-

It's 5***** thumbsup

The parts left over... (...the rear standard springs and the home made springs spacers...)

I mount the rear rough country shock absorbers, but the shocks hitting in the springs, so I started to make some rear shocks repositioners/spacers that the center has shifted 5mm to the middle of the car to avoid the springs!!

when they are built and tuned I place photos and redo some measures of the sketch!!

Here they are for paint, mount and do some adjustment or not!!

stabilizer bar off!!

Let's see how it behaves without it ...
