CORRECTION:

Here are the correct Monroe parts that you need for a Jimny with a 2" lift:
Correct part numbers of Monroe shocks for Jimnys with 2" of lift. Please see photos for reference. You will also need an additional two pieces of the bushing washer for the front shocks to fit well. The rears are supplied with bushing washers as far as I remember. Front #32126. Rear #31094









Thank you to crazy_boy for supplying the correct shocks.

I'm now selling the previous Monroe shocks. They are in brand new condition and will suit stock or up to 1" lifted Jimny units.

In other news, the radiator plastic top developed a cracked. We just opted to replace it as we cannot find a shop that was selling the plastic top only.




Tomsum replacement radiator. SRP 6k.

Yellow Monroes SRP for around Php1400ea.

I might get a lot of flames for posting this but Tenneco Automotive, the company that manufactures Monroe shocks, is also said to be the same company that manufactures shocks for Old Man Emu. Their springs are manufactured by King Springs if I recall right. I have OME on my Toyota it rides nicely. But I've never tried the OME set for the Jimny. I'm also running Ironman springs on the Jimny sir. The ride is ok for a Jimny as with any short wheelbase truck with solid axles. I wouldn't mind using it as a daily driver.

If you are running stock height or up to 1" of lift, you can buy my unused Monroes sir for a very fair price. However if you are running 2" lifted, better get the updated part numbers as supplied by crazy boy.

Sir for the 2" lift, did you need to change anything else, e.g. like in the steering rack, ball joint, etc? I would also like to go the same route with my Jimny

sir, i think you will only need to change the ff for 2 inch lift
1. springs
2. shocks
3. caster correction bushings (optional)


lets wait for doc Otep to reply.

Yes, correct. Anything above 2" and you have more parts to change like the lateral rod, leading and trailing arm, brake lines, etc.

Jimny has no ball joints since its a solid axle vehicle

Thanks for the response! Any suggested shop/seller to get springs, shocks and the bushings?

[larshell]

Share ko lang. Naka 2" body lift jimny ko and 40mm suspension lift plus 1" spring spacer. Still on stock caster and panhard rod pati brake lines stock parin. Syempre yun body lift walang effect sa caster.

Hard to tell if same or better ang yellow vs blue because the yellows were the wrong length for my ironman springs. But ive used the yellows with the stock springs and ok naman ang ride.

The thicker shock shaft vs stock means the shock will not overheat as easily when driven fast on uneven roads or rough surfaces. Yun an siguro ang benefit niya.

Nauwi ko na jimny kanina after a small backjob with the upper bumpstop. Dr. G sorted it out nicely. Final verdict: ironman coils and monroe shocks ride better than stock.

Siguro kung ironman shocks din lalong maganda. Hehe
