TREKFINDER lift kit for SUZUKI Jimny II 5-door / +40 mm / adjustable stiffness / registered in accordance with §21 / no ABE / no TÜV parts certificate / no TTG

TREKFINDER lift kit for SUZUKI Jimny II Type JC74 (from 2023) | the lift height at front and rear is approx. 30/40 millimetres | 5-way adjustable

damping +++ PLEASE NOTE: the JC74 models were NOT sold by SUZUKI Germany; therefore, the vehicles do not have a KBA, EC or key number, etc. >>>>> Consequently, no TÜV certificate, ABE, TTG, etc. can be issued, AND the suspension (as well as all other accessories) can only be inspected and approved by an expert via individual approval under Section 21

+++ # This suspension kit comes with all the certificates for the 3-door model – including a spring test certificate for the rear axle (due to the higher axle load on the 5-door models)
. With these documents, individual approval is possible, though without guarantee!!! #

This suspension system allows for damper adjustment via the TREKFINDER Heavy Track shock absorbers.
The length and tuning of the shock absorbers were developed specifically for our TREKFINDER suspension systems in collaboration with KONI.
The suspension and shock absorbers are supplied from the factory with the most comfortable damping setting.
This set-up is ideal for vehicles driven daily both on and off-road without additional weights.
Smooth damping of bumps, tarmac edges, potholes, kerbs, etc. WITHOUT feeling spongy!
For applications and requirements where a stiffer shock absorber is advisable (e.g. roof racks, winches, camping conversions, etc.), further stiffness settings are available with the KONI shock absorber.
In our opinion, there’s a suitable set-up for every application.

The TREKFINDER coil springs from H&R, with their specific design and tuning, work in perfect harmony with our shock absorbers to significantly improve the handling of your Jimny.
The spring rate – linear at the front axle and progressive at the rear – has delivered brilliant results after over 20,000 test kilometres in our own Jimny and numerous reports from ‘our’ customer test vehicles....

To round off the TREKFINDER complete suspension system without compromise and give it a PREMIUM feel, we have also developed extended TREKFINDER steel-braided brake hoses for this suspension system, in collaboration with LUCAS GIRLING. This eliminates the fiddly task of routing the original (short) rubber hoses through spacers etc. is no longer necessary, and brake pedal feel is improved :)

Naturally, we also tested the new Jimny to see whether we should offer an even higher suspension, similar to the “old” Jimny ( +55 mm ). However, following extensive testing and careful consideration, we decided against it because
:– we would have had to lower the gearbox tunnel strut to create sufficient space for the driveshaft, at the expense of ground clearance – we didn’t want
that – we would have ended up with too much bending in the propeller shaft joints, which would mean A.) increased wear in that area and B.) would also increase the risk an additional ‘humming noise’ occurring – new double universal joints would have been necessary....these are extremely expensive to buy – we didn’t want that –
we would no longer have been able to sufficiently compensate for the caster angle on the front axle using our eccentric lower control arm bushings, which would then have required new and longer lower control arms for the front axle....These are extremely expensive to buy and fit, and the cost is out of all proportion to the ‘slight’ increase in ride height – we didn’t want that –
last but not least: the new Jimny already has large wheel arches as standard. To fit larger tyres (sizes that still match the axle/gearbox ratio and engine power), you don’t need all that much extra height… if the Jimny is too high, it spoils the look. It then looks as though tyres that are too small have been fitted into wheel arches that are too large – that’s not


what we wanted . Suitable for the following vehicle:

• Jimny II Type JC74 (5-door, all models)

Tips/Info/Recommendations

: - For levelling, e.g. when fitting a winch, 10 mm spring spacer rings (Item No. 1-FDR10) are available as an option and can be fitted once per spring. In heavily laden vehicles, the springs are slightly compressed, causing the vehicle to ‘sag’ slightly. In such cases, it makes sense to use the spacers to restore the correct height. This is particularly useful in the event of one-sided loading or the vehicle being on a slope. The spacer discs are only permitted on vehicles that are standing at an angle. A maximum of one spacer disc may be fitted per spring at the upper end, between the
spring and the factory-fitted rubber mount.– Fitting our steering damper (item no. 1-SUJI2LD) makes the Jimny even smoother to drive (A customer’s comment following the installation of the steering damper: “The Jimny feels much more composed at the wheel, not as twitchy as before. Especially when the going gets bumpy. ) – as fitting it is incredibly simple and makes good sense, we recommend ordering
the steering damper at the same time – with its ladder frame and solid axles, the Jimny belongs in the same chassis category as classic off-road vehicles such as the Land Cruiser, Defender and Mercedes G-Class. In all these vehicles, the caster angle changes when the suspension is raised. A few vehicles react noticeably sensitively in terms of tracking behaviour (regardless of whether they are Toyotas, Land Rovers, Mercedes, etc.). In our experience, this affects around 10% of vehicles. 90% of modified vehicles do not exhibit this issue. The caster angle can be corrected by replacing the front lower control arm bushings (item no. 1-SUJI2CAS). As this only affects around 10% of vehicles, and as replacing the control arm bushings is a complex procedure that can only be carried out by suspension specialists, we recommend not buying or replacing the bushings straight away… but only when it is truly necessary. So, first drive the Jimny with the new suspension and steering dampers, and then decide whether to fit the caster kit. If you find that too much of a faff, you can of course fit the caster kit straight
away along with the suspension – there’s no need to adjust the toe or camber; to straighten the steering wheel again, you simply need to adjust the push rod.
