Jimny's have the same wheel travel as a stock leaf sierra. A lightly modified leaf sierra will have more travel than a jimny could ever have without significant fabrication.

"Swapping" would be a large and expensive fabrication project, and you'll loose access to diff ratios, and heavy duty axles, and then have to deal with all the jimny specific problems like weak axle brackets, bushing bind and short bushing life, weak CV's and poor wheelbearing design.....

There's been lots of tech on here about adding travel with leaves. It's as hard or as easy as you want, but very good results can be achieved, with the end result far stronger than with a jimny coil setup.
