You will benifit more from a 2'' body and 2" suspension as it will give you better articulation. if you go 4" higher try some slightly offset rims for a wider track and wack some flares on.

Goodluck

Nylon blocks aren't necessarily road legal, some states require alloy...

If your jimny has the g series engine use Ben Towse adaptor kit for the baleno motor and use the jimny injection.

Fit 30's on 15x7 zero offset with 2" body and 2" suspension lift - no cutting.

From memory he is somewhere in the West Indies, Got Mudd? So i guess whatever applies over there.

Fortunately for me i live in a small country named Barbados where rules like what u put on to ur Zuk in terms of mods do not exist muah ha ha ha ha but i would like to keep the look almost as standard as possible (ie keep the front bumper)

If your jimny has the g series engine use Ben Towse adaptor kit for the baleno motor and use the jimny injection. Can u give me a link as to where i can find this

i am currently looking for 15x8 rims with a 2an a half back spacing depending on how they feel and look i may put on some 2" spacers also hidden under some bush wacker flares i an molding

Wow i did not know so much had to go into a 3" lift i guess i am going 2" bodylift an 3" suspension soundin a bit more logical

Welcome to to the wonderful world of Jimny mods

A 2 + 2 lift is perfect for what you need, 30s will fit fine. The Old Man Emu lift kit is nice and flexy, it comes in a 50mm. As suggested, Jimny.se is a wealth of info and also hop on over to: www.dgtuning.com -
They have just about every solution you are looking for and Dieter is happy to answer any questions. Just a warning though, your gearing will suck

so you may want to have a look at options for that.

Don't forget... we need pics!

hey mate i have a 99 model jimny which is now a trayback ute cant imagine much would be different but i put a 1.6 vit efi engine in mine with the 4 spd overdrive box. set up dual transfer with series 4 reduction gears.. a set of toyota bundera diffs give the wider track needed for ur lift i have 80 mm suspension and found it quite safe. Alot of work but i wouldnt change a thing ive done to it.

Thanks for all the info as i am now processing all of it

One little problem the exchange rate it would be more than or about $7000.00 dollars from D&G that's a lil to steep for just a 2" lift here it's like $1 USD to $2 BDS i have been on old man emu and not found any Jimny lift kits

For some reason i hardly see anyone's Jimny having the tire passing the fender this is why i would like to go 15x8 rims i want mine to have a more aggressive look to it

Any and all info prices and web sites to locate and install the1600cc engine please don't hesitate to share

As for pics current its fully standard but once i figure out how to post some i will do that

Post by **Got Mudd** » Fri Oct 31, 2008 4:08 pm

Ok i just put in 3 Ring fog lights up front and 2" spacers she looks alot more aggressive but now i need tires that can go with just a 2" body lift an no rubbing or cutting so i can get fully ready for the mud

p.s How do u put up pics in this forum
