Looking at upgrading my suspension on my 01 jimny an putting in a full kit, including panhards. Went to the local 4wd shop to get a few prices and a full 50mm tough dog kit was around $1300, with the Ironman being a couple hundred bucks cheaper. Obviously going to be cheaper online /eBay though, and I got the tough dog in mind at the moment.. Just wondering people's thoughts on these brands, and if their are any better/cheaper brands out there, e.g koni, rancho, black diamond etc. cheers! |

Not trying to be rude, but there is a thread that would have been in the top 4 lines when you started this one about fitting bigger tyres that contains some of the info you ar after. A search would provide the rest. Perhaps go have a chat to Uncle Google. Edit: I just checked and the big tyre one wasn't the one I was thinking of, it was the thread started 3 days ago on page 2. |

ok thanks for the help but does it ask the same question regarding brands and prices?? It doesn't really answer any of my questions, and I'm not going to jack a thread just so I can get some info.. Googling is fair enough, but it defeats the point of a forum really. I want the latest advice (not 5 year old advice) from this forum, the forum of my choice (y)

Whatever you do, don't be a cheap-ass. - factor in some castor correction bushes. |

TD shocks are the worst! My commo shocks are pretty good in the front and I'm about to put HiLux ones in the rear. |

Td don't make a 50mm lift. It's either 40, 60 or 80mm for tough dog. I run 80mm td coils with jimnybits es1000 shocks. Ride is good and flexes enough. |

I swapped to TD 80mm coils a few months back because people had said they are firmer, and I wanted better on-road handling. They are firmer than what I was running but not like people had said. I think it's just the TD shocks that firm the ride too much. I'm running Rancho shocks and I find the combination pretty good. Huge shaft in the Ranchos bud the body of the shock is a little bit too large for a Jimny (Rubs slightly on the coils at the rear. |
