When we fit a lift kit we look at the whole vehicle, not just the springs and shocks: the CV angles, ball joints, bushes and steering that a lift puts extra strain on. If something is worn, or won’t suit the height you’re after, we tell you before you find out on the track.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 8px\"\u003eFitting a full kit typically runs \u003cstrong\u003e$750–$950\u003c\/strong\u003e in labour.

Dobinsons build this Jimny at 40mm (about 1.5″) or 75mm (3″) of lift, with different springs and shocks for each; the height is picked in the options.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA monotube runs a single tube with the oil and gas separated by a floating piston. That allows a bigger piston and much better heat rejection than a twin tube, which is what keeps the damping honest when the going gets rough.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat's in the kit\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 × Dobinsons IMS monotube long-travel front shock absorbers (IMS57-50617 at 40mm, IMS57-50613 at 3″)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 × Dobinsons raised front coil springs, picked in the options (40mm: C57-142, or C57-110 for 40-70kg of accessories; 3″: C57-146, or C57-148 for 40-70kg)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 × Dobinsons IMS monotube long-travel rear shock absorbers (IMS57-50618 at 40mm, IMS57-50614 at 3″)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 × Dobinsons raised rear coil springs, picked in the options to suit your load (40mm: C57-143 up to 60kg, or C57-071 for 140-200kg; 3″: C57-147 up to 60kg, or C57-105 for 100-150kg)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eFront and rear caster correction bushes, adjustable front and rear panhard rods, a steering damper and a brake line extension can all be added in the options.

What does change as you lift it is the geometry around the axle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCaster\u003c\/strong\u003e rolls backwards as the front comes up, and the steering goes light and starts to wander — past about two inches it wants caster correction bushes or plates. The \u003cstrong\u003epanhard rod\u003c\/strong\u003e stays the same length while the axle moves up, so the axle shifts sideways under the body and the stance goes off centre. \u003cstrong\u003eBrake lines\u003c\/strong\u003e get short and want extending. On a taller lift the \u003cstrong\u003etailshaft angle\u003c\/strong\u003e can bring on a vibration.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNone of it is difficult, but all of it needs doing properly.
