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?

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!
