hey currently just got 50mm spacers in atm, however got a 40mm old man emu kit to go in.

can i still put the spacers in?? or will it lengthen the shocks too much, and also brake lines etc...

has any one else lifted a jimny higher than 50mm? how high can i go without having too mess around with other gear?

thanx

with that hight you will have to extend your brakelines and get shocks to suite the amount of lift. and if you drive it on the road often probably castor correction to. and an adjustable panhard would be a good idea also. so 50mm is about it before you have to start altering other things. this is only my two bobs.

Do you mean 50mm coil spacers or 50mm body lift?

check zuknutters thread on auszookers, he has a 40mm lift and added 50mm spacers and the other parts to make it work.

ya there is a 80mm tough dog lift that didnt need any mods jsut ur fuel lines but other than that its pretty easy thats the biggest u can go before u have to many issues.

ummm the 80mm lift doesnt come with new arms jsut 3degree bushs adjust pennards, new fuel lines springs and coils steering dampner. i think the 80mm is on the limit to new arms
http://www.toughdogdealer.com.au/jimny.htm theres a site that has the biggest lift on it after that its becomes custom.
