What is the maximum lift I can install on my Jimny?
While the Jimny can physically accommodate lifts up to 4 inches, we generally recommend a maximum of 2-3 inches (50-75mm) for a balance of off-road capability, on-road safety, and component longevity. Lifts over 3 inches require extensive modifications and engineering compliance.
Do I need to replace my shock absorbers and springs at the same time?
Yes, for optimal performance and safety, it is highly recommended to replace both the springs and shock absorbers as a matched set. Springs determine the ride height and load capacity, while shocks control the movement and damping. Our complete Lift Kits are engineered to work together perfectly.
Will a suspension upgrade affect my Jimny's warranty?
Modifying your vehicle's suspension may affect the manufacturer's warranty on related components. However, consumer protection laws in Australia (ACCC) prevent a blanket voiding of the entire vehicle warranty. We recommend checking with your dealership and using high-quality, compliant components.
What is castor correction and why is it important after a lift?
Castor correction is the process of adjusting the angle of the front axle to restore the steering geometry to its factory specification after a lift. This is crucial for maintaining stable, self-centring steering and preventing 'death wobble' at highway speeds.
How long will my new suspension components last?
The lifespan of suspension components depends heavily on driving conditions and maintenance. High-quality shock absorbers typically last between 80,000 to 120,000 km under normal use, while heavy-duty springs are designed to last the lifetime of the vehicle, provided they are not overloaded.
Can I install the suspension kit myself?
Installation is rated as Medium to High difficulty. While a mechanically inclined DIYer can complete the job, it requires specialised tools like spring compressors and a proper torque wrench. We recommend professional installation for safety and to ensure correct alignment.
Do you ship suspension kits internationally?
Yes, we offer international shipping for all our suspension components. Shipping costs and delivery times vary based on the destination and the size/weight of the kit. Please contact us at sales@megajimny.com for a detailed international shipping quote.
