hey boys and girls.

i am curious to know if anyone has used the procomp 3inch lift kit from jimny bits. i run procomp on my patrol and i am very happy with it. buttt my patrol is about 2 times the weight of the jim.

so the questions at hand are:

how well does it articulate?

is the ride hight level?

is it soft on and off road?

how does it compare to the td kit?

your time is muchly appreciated.

I can't provide any feed back on the pro comp kit but quite a number of people are running the 80mm tough dog kit you've mentioned. I have recently fitted it to mine and am very happy with it, flexs very well. The ride is a tad harsh but nothing to really worry about. I'm using the bullbar rated front springs as the other springs made my car pitch forward, the back is still slightly higher but once i get a larger spare and a towbar i think it'll be perfect.

u can get the procomp kit cheapper than the TD one

ask 89_tintop he's running the coils from jimnybits

and Im sure that someone else in here is running the complete setup too

[zammit]

thanks guys! yeah the kit is alot cheaper.

[89_tintop]

hey mate...

I am running 75mm jimnybit coils (i beleive they the procomp one) with lovells shocks and outdoor auto panhard rods.

My setup works well for me.. Not too harsh on road, but couldnt tell you whether it is comparable in harshness to the toughdog as I havent driven one with that kit.

a couple of things...
1- drivers side coil... Where it is meant to seat.. That coil was slightly to tight and wouldnt seat properly..
2- sits higher in the front by 13mm... But will level out once a bar is fitted

These are just 2 things that may not be a problem with the kit you are looking at ... I purchased mine off a guy in aus.. He purchased a 2 inch lift.. And the spring manufacturer marked these as 2 inch instead of 3

[zammit]

Awsome!! Thank u tintop for your input I'm very unsure on what suspension I am going to use so the more input the better

I'm looking at getting the same springs and the pro comp 1000 shocks. hope jimny bits are reliable.

[zammit]

hey scales

when ya planing on getting it?

[Scales]

very soon, within the next couple of weeks.

[zammit]

yay!! you can be the guinea pig hahaha

na in all serious, i would be very interested in seeing how well they work so please keep me informed

cheers

[Scales]

well im actually holding out for some advice from this forum, so dont get too excited. im not too keen on shelling out 1300 bucks to a guy overseas for my rather large order.

[zammit]

thats very understandable.

so that price includes
shocks
springs
radius arms
freight
??

[Scales]

panhard rods, as well as the cool rear shock brackets.
may of been some other gear too but cant remember.

[monley]

Brake lines!

[Scales]

oh yeah, they were on the list too.
it was pretty much a full setup. But i gotta say im pooing a bit spending that much from an O/S mob

[monley]

Are you sure they include radius arms in the kit not just the castor bushs?

[Scales]

they arent part of the kit. just part of my shopping list.

Get they off road armoury arms if you can afford them, they looks\ much stronger than the jimny bits arms!

[Scales]

feel like chipping in the extra coin????? im assured by the bloke from jimnybits that the arms are hardcore.

I was hoping you were going to pay for mine

Time will tell i guess

But these would be even stronger

[89_tintop]

Procomp springs.... Lovell shocks....





There is a little more flex in it yet.... Brake lines are tight.. Very tight.

[Scales]

Thanks tintop, you didnt buy them from jimnybits personally though did you?

[monley]

That's the tough dog flex in the rear, still had a bit more and it dose still have the OME limiting straps on but has no effect on that corner that's flexing in the rear there.
