Suzuki Jimny JB74 Ironman 2" Lift Kit || FULL DIY GUIDE || How to install a SUSPENSION LIFT KIT

G'day Guys and Gals

In this video I am installing an Ironman 2" (50mm) Lift kit to my 2023 Suzuki Jimny Jb74. I show you all of the steps necessary to install the lift kit and associated parts. Supplied in the 2" Ironman 4x4 lift kit is -
- 2" Lifted coils Front + Rear
- Extended shock absorbers Nitro Gas Front + Rear
- Extended headlight sensor adjustment bracket for the rear axle
- Extended brake line for the rear axle
- 2 degree castor correction bushes
- central crossmember drop bracket kit

All of these parts need to be installed together to lift the suspension in the vehicle and correct the steering and suspension geometry. It is important to install castor correction to bring the front diff back around to a good castor degree. This will give the vehicle good handling on road and off-road.

I first begin fitting the crossmember drop bracket kit to allow for extra clearance from the front drive shaft when the axle is articulating. This will also enable us to drop the front axle all the way down to install the lifted coil springs. Secondly I install the extended headlight sensor adjustment bracket followed by the extended brake line down on the rear axle. The Suzuki Jimny JB74 has LED headlights and the extended headlight sensor arm corrects the reading of the sensor to work with the height gained from the 2" Lift. After bleeding the LHR wheel cylinder the brakes felt nice and firm. As the brake line that I extended went only to the LHR side I only ended up having to bleed that one line to get a good firm pedal. Thirdly it was time to install the Front and Rear 2" raised coil springs to the Suzuki Jimny JB74. After the lifted coils were installed I could carry on and install the castor correction bushes to the front control arms. Using my 12T hydraulic press and my press tool kit I was able to press the standard bushes out of the control arms. Then I could locate and mark my offset castor correction bushes and press them back into the arms. After refitting the control arms to the vehicle I could carry on and install the extended nitro gas shock absorbers to the vehicle. After all of this work I tightened all of my bushes on the ground at ride height.

The Suzuki Jimny is quite and easy vehicle to install a suspension lift kit to due to it being a live beam axle 4wd. I used a few tools to carry out the Suspension lift kit install -
- Jack stands
- Floor Jack
- 12t Hydraulic press
- Press tools
- Socket and ratchet wrench set
- Spanner and ratchet spanner kit
- Screw drivers
- One man brake bleeding kit
- wheel chock

After installing the 2" suspension lift kit to my 2023 Suzuki Jimny JB74 I took the vehicle to my local tyre store to get a wheel alignment. During the alignment they checked the Suzuki Jimny's steering and suspension geometry and straightened the steering wheel.

The lift it that I have fitted to my 2023 Suzuki Jimny JB74 is an Ironman 4x4 2" suspension lift and it has a weight rating of 0-50kg of accessories on the front axle and 0-200kg on the rear axle. The coils I chose were the lightest rating due to the vehicle being very small and light weight I didn't want to ruin the ride with really firm suspension. The Suzuki Jimny drives great with the new suspension as it has firmed the ride up just enough to improve how the vehicle handles but it hasn't made it uncomfortable.

In this DIY tutorial I show you all of the steps necessary and guide you through the install one step at a time. If you are thinking of installing your own suspension lift kit to your Suzuki Jimny then you can easily follow my Guide and install it yourself and save a heap of cash! This video can be used as a guide or tutorial to help you install your own 2" suspension lift kit to your 4wd.
