I'm lead to believe I had 140mm lifted coils in my coily... it was tall but it wasn't overly tippy, but a Jimny would have a bit more weight up high than the sierra.

[joel]

i have never heard of 140mm coils, it would be a slinky.

[DSKEW3]

those tyres are a bit exy i jyust quoted a guy on them they where like 700 to 800 bucks each

I bought them 2nd hand as 80mm lifted coils... put em in and ran them for a while, a few weeks ago I put brand new 50mm lifted coils in and there was 90mm difference in ride height, the coils may of even been 150mm lifted coils that had sagged?

Custom coils maybe?

I just put the Jimnybits 75mm under my Jimny. While it might need a bit more time to settle, it is currently up between 90-95mm at each corner.

[alien]

31x7.5r16... awesome. do it.

[smiffkid]

i reckon the tough dog kit flexs better then the jimny bits kit
but if your gonna buy 1 go the highest u can, means bigger rubber and looks tougher

[monley]

You are aware of the legality issues being in QLD?

[zooky08]

Has any one done a custom lift, different brands etc. Not just one kit

Mine will end up as a bitsa lift 80mm rear coils, 100 mm front coils, jimny bits front and rear arms and my current tough shocks and pan hard rods.

I was thinking TD 80mm coils. TD pan hard rods. Jimny bits radius arms and some kind of shock to suit.

Td coils are too firm and the car dose not sit level, that why I have got 30mm spacers in the front . I will keep my current ts shocks as the front ones will suit a 5" lift and rear a 4".

[zooky08]

Isn't it the TD shocks that give it a firm ride not the springs?

Bit of both but td shocks ate good imo.

It doesn't appear that you can get JB coils to suit a front bar? I have a arb bar hence why I was gonna go for the TD winch compatible coils Over the JB coils

I though the same, but after i check tintop_89 built plus others ppl builts it actually sits level with the bar

before the bar his front of the car was sitting bit higher

Jb ones will take a bar and a winch then it will sit level. Look at tintops jimny and standardjim jimnys both have bars and sit noise high

[zooky08]

Sweet just what I wanted to hear Thanks
Also do you need to buy correction bushes for the JB radius arms or are they already corrected by the way they are designed?
Btw sorry for hijacking
