Hi all

I am after the ride height of a standard jimny (to see if the one I bought is lifted). I cant find the info for the life of me, all I can find is standard vehichle height and that doesnt help as I have lighty larger than standard tyres on it, there for the vehicle height has changed but not the ride height, unless it has been lifted.

The Jimny has EFS suspension in it. I found the part number or what I could see but it doesnt match anything so maybe its a batch number or something I am looking at. I emailed EFS and they didnt reply.

why not figure out the height difference of the non standard tyres and then subtract it from the standard height you have.

I would suggest that if its got efs springs then it is lifted as efs dont advertise a standard height spring.

Yeah, had a bit of a look on efs website and I couldnt see anything standard. Probably has the 30-40mm lift that they do (cant remember exactly)

Awesome! I got 450mm, therefor it has a 30mm lift.

Now to decide on more lift, tyres & gears or just tyres & gears or just keep my tyres as they are 215/70R15 and leave suspension for a while.
