KYB Skorched4's Heavy Duty Shocks for Suzuki Jimny (JB74)

Installed on a 4 year old 3 door with Maxxis AT980 tyres.
Cons - Ride gets bumpier
Pros - Corners flatter, no more bump steer.
Takes a few days to get use to the harsher ride but the tendency to follow contours of the road requiring constant correction has all but disappear. Tracks like the 5 door Jimny, just not as softer ride. Done about 250ks on urban, state highway and winding country roads since installation. Happy with these shocks.

One of the best ways to make your Jimny handle better on and off road. Highly recommend this upgrade to your standard suspension.

Don't hesitate. Just do it!!
You won't believe the difference.
Should have done it sooner.

Huge improvement, should have come factory fitted.

Corners, windy roads and long trips are far more enjoyable without changing the lightness and easy driving I love about Jimny. HIGHLY RECOMMEND

Simple to install but life made easier with a 17mm ratchet spanner for access to mounting nuts.
Good improvement over standard and damping control has greatly increased, jimny now behaves as it should and settles quickly with no "wobble" or lack of control like the standard shocks. Jack up for easy access and a leisurely approach should see them changed in under a couple of hours easy.

Recommended :)

Awesome, and what a difference it has made to driving along the highway, yet to try off road

Before fitting these my jimny would hit a bump and bound off randomly like a squirrel protecting its nuts. Admittedly I am running steelies with a 13mm positive offset so there is a bit more unsprung mass there, but shocks put the squirrel in a cage and is using it as a seat cushion.
Well worth it after two years of thinking "it cannot be that different". Well it is!
Side note the wife can knit now without loosing stitches and doesn't feel queasy doing it so they got her seal of approval as well.

I loved the super soft and comfy ride on pot holes but that was about all in terms of handling and ride overall. I never quite felt in control and the flopping from side to side was terrible. These sort of shocks belong on a Jimny as OEM.

Easy to change. Only two spanner’s, and a ratchet required. Takes about an hour. Slightly firmer ride, but not as hard as most modern cars with low profile tyres. Got used to the firmer ride within 100k, now the norm. No longer feels like it’s going to tip over around roundabouts, sweeping bends are a dream! Gravel roads seem like normal roads, maybe even smoother. If you’re having doubts about buying these, don’t, just buy them! You won’t regret it! Worth every dollar!
