 A lot of people dream about lifting their 4WD vehicle, as they consider that to be an essential modification for vehicle's off-road use.

+** It essentially consists of installing spacers on the body-to-chassis mounts (on vehicles which have separate chassis and cabin, like Jimnys 1-4).
 *** Therefore, a body lift does not raise any component of the chassis or of the underbody away from the ground.
 * A key benefit is that the steering is unaffected by a body lift.

 A stock Jimny with no lift nor spacers (apart from slightly larger tyres) can still get to most places where you intend to go, just with more skill or attempts applied (and that's the name of the game).
