30 "tires, 14cm lift, super reducer, arb lock. ... Click to see everything.

Normally we do not put preparations in this section, but this car deserves a line to be able to explain everything it carries and although in the photographs you can not appreciate the height of the car we can only tell you that we have made a combo of three suspension kits.

Here you can see the Suzuki in full action; of entry impacts the wheel path, the height to the ground and for the most expert eyes a steering damper that we will discuss later.

We begin the preparation by installing a kit suspension TRAILMASTER +5cm, With this kit come the 4 springs and the 4 longer shock absorbers for better travel.
For this model Trail Master has comfort (more comfortable) and sport (more sporty) shock absorbers, although whichever you choose will work better than the original shock absorbers.
The springs are progressive and offer a very high degree of comfort, although being a car with such a short battle it will follow something dry from the rear.

As the 5 centimeters of the trailmaster kit were scarce for the client it was decided to install some +3.5 cm studs for the springs getting a height of 8.5 centimeters.

These studs are an economical solution to achieve height while maintaining the original springs although in this If you put them on already elevated springs, more height has been achieved.

This kit is sold only 3.5cm blocks or can also be ordered with extensions for the shock absorbers. So you can lengthen the shock absorbers without changing them.

As the idea was to put a very large wheel it was necessary to get more height, so as not to have to force the suspension any more, we opted for a body lift de +5cm.

The body lift are only a few blocks that replace the original ones with taller ones, these studs are placed between the chassis and the body to get more space to be able to put a much larger wheel.

And here you can see how those almost +14 centimeters tall jimny feel :

Lift 14 centimeters and getting the car to work well on the road is not easy and several parts have been installed to correct the height:

1st Adjustable front and rear Panhard Bars , when lift the car the panhard bar falls short and forces the axle to one side, so if you have raised the car and have not changed this bar you will notice that the wheels protrude more than one side than the other, that is because the axle is shifted to the side.

By installing new adjustable panhard bars we get the shaft back to the original position, improving stability and steering accuracy.

2nd Reinforced steering bars , when placing larger wheels, it is advisable to place reinforced steering bars to avoid bending and splitting when overstressing. It really is a very cheap kit and it is not worth skimping on security. We have to think that the original bars are not intended for offroad use.

3rd steering damper, who has a Jimny and has driven on the highway has realized that from a speed the car becomes very unstable, & nbsp; It is very common to have vibrations on the steering wheel and it really becomes very difficult to drive when you remove the road wheels and put mountain wheels.

Suzuki engineers assume that to reduce costs dispensed with the shock absorber steering, which we all know is mandatory in cars with rigid axles.
So one of the best things you can do to your suzuki Jimny is to put on a steering damper kit. & nbsp;

There are several manufacturers, but we recommend the trailmaster brand for this model because it has a specific version for the Jimny gasoline version and two different versions for the diesel versions, mounting it is very easy because it comes with a quick clamp And the improvement is immediate, every Jimny customer should have this shock absorber installed.

In the back you can see how the shock absorbers are installed in the extension kit to make them longer, you can also see the rear panhard bar, differential protectors, among other material that we will now continue talking about.

Very nice car, but does it really work? We went out to test it at bridge crossings and we did not find an area where it was not able to pass.

Apart from the suspension routes (which are a savage) we improve the traction capacity with a BLOQUEO ARB for the rear part, this blockade in addition to guaranteeing the passage through very complicated areas also avoids breaking since it is not necessary to face the areas with inertia, with the blockage many of the areas are idling or with very little gas.

Improving aesthetics and offroad capabilities, let's install footrests to protect the body in case of side bumps and we also get a support point to get into the car, which is not easy with the height achieved....

Air intake SNORKEL, in a 4x4 car is one of the best parts that you can put to your engine, with it in addition to improving the wading capacity you will avoid getting so much crap to the engine improving reliability and getting A more aggressive aesthetic.

Both snorkeling and side footrests are very discreet.

In this picture you can see very well both the progressivity of the docks, another of the modifications that the car carries are cardan with more angle both front and rear. These cardan are essential in such extreme elevation. AQUI teneís el link a la ficha de producto.

In this photograph you can clearly see how the rear panhard bar works (it can be seen in a golden color)

Modular design black wheels with tires MAXXIS TREPADOR en 30"x 9,50"R 15 ( LINK DEL PRODUCTO) , comparing with the wheel of origin 205 / 70R15 this wheel is 11% more diameter getting a free height of 4 centimeters, something incredible in a car of these dimensions.

To compensate for this greater development we put a super reducer capable of reducing both long and short gears by -25%, the kit is only a couple of pinions but the result is spectacular because as the development is somewhat shorter than the origin, the car moves much better and accelerates with a beastly ease

By cons on the highway you can not go so fast, but with such mountain wheels and with that elevation is something that was already taken for granted.
