Hi people!
I have Jimny power steering fitted to my Samurai. I am about (FINALLY - shut up Kibris :D ) about to fit YJ springs which will give me 2 -2.5" of lift.

a) will I need to do any steering mods?

b) if I need to use a drop pitman arm off a Merc, will it fit my Jimny PS bos or will it only fit a Vit PS box?

Thanks,
Geoff

If running YJs spua then you should be fine with the standard steering set up, YJs only usually lift around 1.5-2" I run standard steering on mine.

Never heard of people using pitman arms off merc boxes? Not getting confused with the merc half hi-steer conversion are you?
