Hi guys. Im getting a front bar installed on my jimny next friday. i think they are about 35kg or so plus the spotties ill be installing on it. this is going to give me some sag in the front obviously. Ive done a bit of a search and it appears that there are alot of us using spring spacers. Are they legal as ive heard yes and no? If they are legal i was thinking maybe 20-30mm spacers might keep it level?? If they are illegal then my other option i guess is some heavier rated front springs? at the moment id prefer to keep it around the stock height as so far i havent had any issues with ride height but dont really want the head down bum up approach. so my options are:

1. spring spacers
2. hd springs in the front(any recomendations?)
3. other ideas?

Thanks alot everyone.

My Jim is currently in having an ARB bar put on right now. Mines only done 37,000 miles with minimal offroad so far, so i reckon the springs would be in good condition on mine. I'll post up some pictures in my build thread and report any sag that is apparent. When i took the factory bar off last night i got the Mrs who is 49kg to sand on the chassis rails and i had a visual look at the car side on and i saw next to no sag at all

hey Jones be good to hear how much if any sag you get once yours is fitted up. sounds like i might be over dramatising how far the front will go down with the bar on.

Cool thanks mate. looks good. ill see how the front holds up with the bar then before trying to fix the problem that seemingly isnt there.
