A compact Suzuki Jimny rolled into Duffy's Automotive Tamworth ready for a serious upgrade — and it certainly left looking a whole lot taller.
The brief? Improve ground clearance, enhance off-road capability, sharpen handling, and give it that tough, adventure-ready stance. Safe to say, mission accomplished.
The Upgrade Package
To give this Jimny its well-earned “growth spurt,” we installed a complete suspension and tyre upgrade package featuring premium components from Pedders and Toyo Tires.
Suspension & Handling Upgrades:
- Pedders 2-inch lift springs – Providing increased ground clearance and improved approach/departure angles for off-road adventures.
- Pedders Foam Cell shocks – Designed for superior durability and consistent performance, especially in Australian conditions.
- Pedders steering damper – Reducing steering vibration and improving control on rough terrain.
- Pedders caster correction bushes – Correcting suspension geometry after the lift to maintain proper steering feel and stability.
Tyre Upgrade:
Toyo Open Country A/T tyres – Delivering the perfect balance between on-road comfort and off-road traction.

Why a 2-Inch Lift Makes a Big Difference
While two inches might not sound like much, in a lightweight 4WD like a Jimny, it transforms both capability and presence. Benefits include:
- Improved ground clearance for tracks and trails
- Better clearance for larger all-terrain tyres
- Enhanced off-road articulation
- More commanding stance and improved aesthetics
Importantly, installing caster correction bushes ensures the vehicle maintains proper steering alignment after the lift — something that’s often overlooked but critical for safe handling.
Thinking About Lifting Your 4WD?
A professionally installed suspension lift isn’t just about looks — it’s about performance, safety, and reliability. At Duffy's Automotive Tamworth, we ensure every component works together correctly, with proper geometry, alignment, and handling taken into account.
