Nice Jimny! Does it need a lift kit with the tyres you want to run, though?

Looks good, need to ditch those wheel trims I think.
I would say keep it simple, Jimnys seem to become a pita after modification, or is that just mine? :er:

went for 195/70/15 in the end looks well on alloys at the mo
not sure about lift kit it seems to have gone higher just changing wheels and tyres
will try off road and if it needs it will lift

Don't lift it if you can help it.

There pretty good at standard height, i chucked some 215/75/15 AT tyres on mine and they don't touch the arches, and lift it a little.

As Scottie will say, a suspension lift won't do anything for you, you will still ground out etc until you buy big tyres!
