G'day... Very keen on getting a Jimny in the near future, and I was just wondering if you would need to change the panhard rods if I got a 2" lift? I saw that they cost a fair bit, and I was kinda trying to get away with spending as little as possible when getting the lift. Thanks Nick

You can get away with it. But if you did come into some funds down the track, it wouldn't be a bad way to spend some money. |

I think I have told my story before. I went with the 40mm lift because I was told I would not need to extend the brake lines or use adjustable panhard rods or caster correction bushes. I just did the lift first. Next to correct a slight wobble that I got from the bigger tyres I fitted the caster correction bushes. They helped a bit. Next problem I noticed was the rear brake line was at full stretch so I got the extended lines. Finally I had a clash where the front diff breather was hitting the chassis and then I bent the rear panhard rod. I now have adjustable front and rear rods. They are much stronger than the originals and after fitting the front rod my slight wobble has improved further. So while in theory a 40mm lift might not need the trimmings my experience is that it's best to plan for these in the longer term. |

Thanks for the reply mate Yeah..... I was thinking just before that if I was going to do it, it would make sense to do it properly |
