Trust me, if I didn't have extended brake lines I would'nt be able to get the coils in... haha

[monley]

Looks sweet!

How hard was the guard chop? Did they rub with the 80mm TD kit?

[kemlar]

Yeah they only just nicked a inner seam but I think I could have chopped a little bit more and made it fit . And if the offset was a bit smaller it might have been better.

[kemlar]

since its NPNP. but not my post, I will still put a pic on. This is the TD kit next to the 5 inch.. I didnt have the TD coil down a little bit to compare properly..

[monley]

Mhh yummy!

Start a build thread?

[BertZook]

any pic on flat ground on the side??, if you dnt have jsut take one.. I want to see the look of that

[kemlar]

Hummm... Maybe. I don't have that many photos yet though. I'll see if I get bored one day and I might.
Glad you liked the kit. Still not sure what to do with it yet. It drove awesome offroad. (the little bit I done). So flexy..
Only really need to fix the coil and shock touching problem. Which could be diff rotation a bit or maybe space the shock away a bit with a longer shock bolt. Would like to see the ORA kit on to see what they have done.

[monley]

how bad is your front castor angle? Longer arms may fix the problem or maybe that why it's only the ORA kit is a 4.5" lift not 5" .

[kemlar]

Front castor is all good. Custom made arms for 5 inch. Its the back thats the problem...

[kemlar]

coils are so bendy in the back cause they are so big! I think maybe smaller ones like the TD kit with spacers, so there is not as much bow in the coil.

[monley]

Or get some ORA coil or D&G tuning 4.5"coils with spacers?

[kemlar]

yeah maybe, but thats what I need to see if they bow the same, .5 of a inch should'nt make that much different.
If you look up Big Red suzuki jimny in google you can see the same lift similar to mine.. I think its in the 4wd monthly old shed page... so you will have to wait for it to load the page haha.

[monley]

I have been browsing though some jimny forums from the uk and i haven't seen a single jimny with a 4.5" lift, they all seem to go with 3"spring lift and BL's from 1" up a 3"and i found one jimny with a 3"coil lift and 3"BL and he was only running 235's.

That sounds like Squik's old Jimny.

stimpy??



and if you re keeping your lift, it wont be easy to get a custom arm for the back... or buy one from ORA, instead of the smaller coil + spacers idea




more piiiiiiicsss.



ps start a built treath eh

[kemlar]

na not stimpy. Its a Jimny with the shed name as Big Red. You can find it in google search but not if you go through the 4wd monthly shed page. Its weird must be a old page that was deleted but still on the net some how. Yeah maybe I can make or buy another arm for the back. But I think the lift is still a bit big. I think the cops would prob just bend me over if they seen it.
PS : 3 inch coil lift with 3 inch body and only running 235s.... holy roll over!!

Looks good but, with a 5" lift i would have thought 31's or even 32's would of been better for that size lift, cus you can get 30's under with a 2" lift.

[kemlar]

Thats the one. Thanks atari. Meant to be using the same coils I got but only running 30s.

[kemlar]

Yeah 31s were good. and better offset too. Maybe not as extreme as I used though.

[monley]

Personally if i was going 31's i would 2"bl and chop the gurads!

[kemlar]

Yeah and stab the airbags. Cause we are going all out on being illegal anyway haha.

[monley]

I was going to try get my car engineered with a Bl but now i have decided i don't want to go to 31's, so no BL for me.

[smiffkid]

mmm kit like that means 33s, on my jim WIKED

[monley]

With standard gearing too, SICK!

[zammit]

thats awsome. do they fit with the three in a mass guard chop?

[Fatzook]

Sorry but that red jimny is no where near wide enough for the lift it has.

White one on neg offset rims is more to my liking
