2in suspension lift and below = no change except if you remove the ARB to which you need to fit extended brake lines
With a body lift of 2" you will need to extend the steering coloun
Jimnybits tells you everything you need to know on the site.

Jimnybits tells you everything you need to know on the site.
1. Do i need to fit extended brake hoses?
No if you are keeping the front Anti roll bar / sway bar,
Yes if you plan to remove it for more articulation and better offroad ability
2. Do i need to fit camber correction bushes?
No you don’t need to from a safety / inspection point of view but i always recommend them as they bring the front axle geometry back to factory settings (SuperPro are recommended due to the ease of fit and long life)
3. Do i need the rear shock relocators?
No you don’t need them but they bring the added benefits of removing extra strain from the lower bushes and also give a little more rear travel

1. Do i need to fit extended brake hoses?
Yes you would need to fit extended hoses
2. Can i fit castor correction bushes instead of corrected radius arms?
Yes you can BUT, it does not solve the problem of vague steering and the bushes can't correct the angle fully, so you would still have some castor issues but some people do accept this
3. Do i need the rear shock relocators?
No you don’t need them but they bring the added benefits of removing extra strain from the lower bushes and also give a little more rear travel
4. Which Shocks do i choose?
ES1000’s are the most popular and also come with free black boots, and great for a mix of road driving and offroading and great for greenlaning with 80% of people choosing this shock
ES3000’s are best for jimnys with a little extra weight like winch bumpers and extra tools in the rear, 15% of people choose this shock. Note: the ES3000 are FAT body shocks so modification would be needed to make them fit correctly
ES9000’s are best for jimnys that spend most of the time offroad with winches, steel bumpers, roll cages, bodylifts and extra tools, etc 5% of people choose this shock. Note the ES9000 are FAT body shocks so modification would be needed to make them fit correctly
5. Do i need adjustable panhard rods?
Yes you do in an ideal world, as you find the axles move to one side

My springs are vitmods, all good.
You shouldn't need to change to change any steering components, but will need camber correction bushes, and extend the bake lines.
Beat me to it Dean
