Post subject:  2.5" or 4"
Its finaly the time to lift my jimny, however im struggling to decide which path to go down. Its either 2.5" or 4" from Off road armory or 3" from jimny bits. I do drive the car everyday and im not sure if the 4" fully loaded kit with all the bells and whistles will make it a weekend warrior. Anyway if you guys have any suggestions then throw em my way.

thank u

I'd be concerned about ur radius arms(also known as control arms) as u raise ur vechile up the radius arm moves ur wheel closer to the body of, it also lines ur radius arms up for twice as much impact when u hit a bump and it can cause more wobbles and what not on road Iwould buy the exstended radius arms off ora as well then u can lift to the sky

Depends on what you drive and how much clearance you're going to need etc.

I just purchased the 4" kit from ORA but it hasn't arrived yet :(

They way I looked at it... It gives you everything you need, as well as upgrading everything along the way, and worked out cheaper than the jimnybits stuff when you added it all up (although that may be marginal now because ORA had 15% off for October).

Both are awesome to deal with ;)

Yep everything.... Springs, shocks, spring retainers, extended brakelines, arms, panhards and propshaft spacer.

Only thing you need is arm bushes, but you can get them for $198 off ebay

Good luck! I ordered mine 2 weeks ago and it hasn't left yet! Mines apparently leaving on Monday :)

Shouldn't be too hard to install. Basic tool kit and a jack should get you out of trouble. The only thing you might have to get done is the bushes pressed. You can use the ones in your current arms, but I figured I'd replace them now while everything is out ;)

Hey timmy have you received your kit yet? Mine is stuck in customs. Ora didn't put an invoice in the parcel so I had to chase that up.

That's retarded, I was warned by a work mate who builds up hotrods to keep it under $100 or it will get stuck at customs, I had no idea it would be that bloody stupid
