Hey everyone!

Has anyone ever used/seen the raptor 2" lift kit from jimny bits?
It claims it's designed for a jimny (well the shocks atleast I assume)

I'm looking at the pro Comp with es1000's as I've heard they are fairly plush for the driving I will be doing, but also saw the raptor kit and thought I wonder... Haha.

What would that kit offer that any locally produced kit wouldn't? It's just springs and shocks with the normal list of "optional" things that are recommended.

When you look at the price of making your own "kit", it seems to outweigh the cost of buying one. The procomp kit is by far cheaper then any locally sourced "kit". That's what I'm looking at, OME is near $1000, EFS is close to 800, tough dog I don't want thought of as its too stiff for my liking and also close to $800. Whereas the procomp "kit" is less then $650 landed at my door.
