In my opinion the best suspension out there for the Jimny👌

Great , you are 100% correct , and having your wheel alignment done is an absolute necessity.

Where did you get this done? Thinking of doing the same modification, don’t know where I can get it done in Melbourne.

Glad we could help out👍

Thanks

Very cool!

Good choice!

Thanks 👍

I want to have 40mm suspension upgrade kit

I am not sure if you have Tough Dog agents in India , maybe try a Google search. Its manufactured in Australia.

Thanks for the support , we will have a look to start supporting subtitles in other languages if there is enough interest👍

Yes the suspension improves onroad handeling alot.

Hi , I have not driven the Tough Dog with bumper and winch fitted , but have done quite heavy loads and the TD does not sag , the ride is still firm and comfortable though.

Hi Ethan as a good all rounder the 40mm works great , improves stability on road and increases approach , break over and depature angles for off roading.

Glad that you enjoy our content , baie dankie

Tough Dog do have panhard bars availible , but with a 40mm lift they are not needed and the stock ones are good , I would suggest them for 60mm and 80mm suspensions , just to center your diffs under the Jimny again.

Hopefully that was a positive jaw drop🤣

Thank you for the support👍

Both instances is caused by the castor correction bushes that needs to be replaced with offset ones , to correct for the 40mm lift.

Hi Ilker , I am not currently aware of a suspension kit that is the same measurement as the standard suspension , thus I went for the 40mm Tough Dog , and I am very happy with the performance onroad , off road and on 4x4 obstacles , the right aftermarket suspension setup will hugely improve your Jimny's handling and capability from the stanrd suspension.

Hi James , you dont need to change the tyres when you do a suspension upgrade , but I would reccomend fitting better AT or MT tyres when you are planning a overland trip with bad gravel roads , stock tyres are not tough enough.

@@justjimny Thank you Raymond

@@ilzabrits Glad we could help you out👍

Hi thank you for the support. I think first try out the suspension , and if you are not happy with the ride quality then you can upgrade the suspension. The stock tyres are not really designed for bad roads , so having a look at a good AT tyre upgrade might be a good choice , you can go for a 215/75R15 or a 225/70R15 depending on the sizes availible to you.

@@justjimny Thank you for your prompt reply ! Your videos are very helpful and polite. Keep up the great work and wish you a lot of success 🙏🏽

My personal choice would be Tough Dog , better price than OME and great off road and on road. Des Sol is bot bad , but wont install it as a long road or overlanding suspension , great for day to day and the odd 4x4 trail. No caster correction neccesary on 40mm.

Wil definitely do that , thanks for the tip.

Thanks for the comment , I had the option on the 60 and 80mm lift , but with knock on effects on 60mm and 80mm setups that will cost much more to get the Jimny in decent driving condition while on road(Castor correction bushes , adjustable panhard rods , driveshaft extensions ect). I still want to use my Jimny as a good all rounder and I am not planning going with larger tyres because I still want to keep my fuel consumption low and the power decent on road. End of the day you can always just fit other coils to gain extra lift or load capacity if you need it , thus the 40mm made money sense to me and I am very happy with it on road and off road.

Hi Chris , my stock ones where fine for 60k km and then I fitted the Tough Dog caster corrections. So first drive on the oem ones till you need the TD ones.

The suspension should not affect your warranty , but differs from dealer to dealer , my suggestion would be to have a chat with the dealer you service with before doing upgrades , but most of the time they dont have issues due to the fact that they also sell accessories.

Actually it’s the country warranty manager that’s the problem.

Hi Gareth , Opposite Lock are the distributers in South Africa , here is the link www.oppositelock.co.za/ , depending on where you are based , they can organize installation.

Jean-Luc go have a look at the Des Sol website , these guys does great underbody protection for the jimny , also have a look at the interview we did with them.des-sol.co.za/accessories-gen-4/. And they do export👍

Hi , I went with the normal comfort , and I am very happy . I am not planning to fit replacement steel bumpers since this will influence my power and weight when I am doing longer trips , and tge normal comfort coils , handels heavy packing very well and the suspension just get more comfortable under load.

215/75R15

Hi , I run at 1.8 bar for day to day use on my 215 BFs unloaded , increase to 2.0 when loaded.

@@justjimny thanks

I have no idea , on what type of warranty you get from them.

Hi , had mine loaded up quite heavy a few times , and it does not sag at all , the ride quality actually improves and gets more comfortable.

Hi Lawrence , thank for the support. They only do crossmember relocation in the front , to make sure the driveshaft clears . Nothing required in the back , except the littlte light leveling bracket that needs to be installed. Are you happy with the Tough Dog suspension?

@@justjimny Thank you for the advice. Very happy on road, need to now take it off road. A major difference in the driving comfort. Was referred to Norman at Econolift by OL,

@@justjimny Very comfortable on road, need to now take it off road. OL referred me to Norman of Econolift, I can really recommend his service.

Hi Piers , the Jimny just has a swaybar in the front , after the 40mm install , mine settled on about 38 , and after 60k km is still at that height.

Ok, thanks for the info before I do my upgrade.

Forget to ask, did u lift 40mm with only suspension and coil only? Or with the caster bushes, ABS hose, headlight module, crossmember drop kit and brake hose kit?

@@piercel.6845 Did the full suspension kit , with cross member , abs , brakelines , castor correction and light leveling.

Ok, got it. Thanks again for the info

Ek gebruik altyd Wecca Centre en Opposite Lock in Centurion vir al my installasies , hulle is ook n Tough Dog handelaar en doen betroubare werk teen bilike pryse.

@@justjimny Baie dankie!

Hi Raul , my Gen4 came with a steering damper installed , I have not swopped it out yet , when I do it will be the Tough Dog return to centre one , it helpd alot with handeling on road and off road👍

@@justjimny Thanks mate.

​@@justjimnyhi , have you fitted the tough dog return to centre steering dampers ? Just wanted reviews from jimny owners who are using this product .Also are you still keeping the lift at 40mm and tyres at 215 ? Thanks again .

@@sailorsanjoy Hi , I am not using the TD return to center , in ny opinion you only need that on bigger lifts like 60mm and the 80mm. I am still on my 215s and 40mm , very happy with those , and still working great.

Night and Day , with the correct tyre pressures , the jimny drives like a Limo on corrugated gravel roads.

Hi Joyce , yes I did experience it , and that is why you need to go and have wheel alignment done at a reputable tyre dealer that has experience with 4x4 wheel alignment , some of the shops that fit these suspension actually add this cost to the installation costs to ensure that everything is 100% when you leave their shop.

@@justjimny So you had it sorted already? Was it a simple alignment issue or did it have to do with the caster-corrected bushes?

@@joyceano5354 Sorry missed your reply , I just did alignment.

No caster correction bushes needed.

Thanks for the support👍
