Hey guys sorry to be a noob new to 4x4ing and curious to know what I need to buy to complete a 2 3 or 4 inch lift in a jimny also what size tyress and what lift would you suggest?

[jimmy91]

215/75/75 with no lift, trim a bit off front bar. 215/75/15 with 2 inch perfect. 235/75/15 with 3 inch seems popular on here. I got a 2 inch ironman lift and I doubt it's 2 inch as it's pretty high.

What do you want to do with the car? What terrain do you want to drive? You need to thinking about gearing for anything bigger than 225/75s. 235s fit with no lift on 15x7 -13 rims with the front bumper chopped.

[Zaneo190]

Mainly sand an mud and a few tracks

215/75s with a 2" lift is what I'd do if that's all I was doing.

Springs, Shocks, Panhard Rods, Castor correction of some sort (bushes or new arms), extended brake lines (depending on lift)
jimnybits is popular have a look there.

Wouldn't I be better off with a 75mm or 80mm lift if I wanted to get into some offloading or is a 2 inch lift enough..? Eventually I'd like to get lockers snorkel mud tyres winch etc..

2" will be fine. When you go to 60mm of lift or bigger you start to need adjustable panhard rods, castor bushs etc... So the money saved on the lift put that towards lockers as that will take you further than another 1" of lift.

Ok im going to get lockers either way, what's the best size wheels to run with a 3" lift with a standard auto box?

[JIMNY_CRICKET]

BUT i got my grinder out and chopped the guards and chopped and tucked the guards that with the engine conversion i did can not be touched on the beaches patrols and cruisers are bogged to there guts and i pull up park next to them and drive off again and only leave my tread pattern in the sand its mean BUT i want the off road armory lift kit it costs a bit but its got everything you will need and FLEXES NIIIICE it with a 2" body lift and im going to be a very happy man

Why lift the car more than you need to? 4" suspension lift and 2" BL is that your goal? Low is the new lift.

[kristov]
