been contemplating running 25mm (1") body spacers with my already 2" spring lift (giving me a total of 3" lift)

do i need to run extended brake lines? (or wont find out untill i do it?)

do i need to extend the steering shaft?

is there anything else i should be considering that i havent pointed out??

Cheers guys

body spacers as in a body lift or as in spring spacers? Guessing A body lift if your talking steering shafts. It helps to know the year of it they vary a fair bit. Spring spacers you shouldn't need any more mods unless you are putting in longer shocks then you might need extended brake lines unless they are already extended

But, a body lift is only usefull for clearing tires, which on a jimny can clear 30s with basic tools, do a search for trimming jimny guards.

i would recommended longer, and if you have the pressure sensor on the rear of the car that may need to be re positioned to correct for the body lift. my rear brakes were quite dull until i fixed this
do i need to extend the steering shaft?
i had to on my 2010 model JX, with no power steering. i used the JB kit but had to cut the length down as the kit made the shaft too long. 1" you might get away without it

your front and rear bumper are attached to the car, and might be difficult to reattach
