Went to install a 3 inch lift kit on my 2003 jeep liberty sport and ran into a multitude of problems. First off, with 2 of us pushing on it we could get the strut and space in the clevis. We are both chrysler tech and have done lift kits on other vehicles. Any advise or should I try to recoup some money and invest in a better kit?

First you will never be happy at all with that lift, bad ride , will wear parts fast etc
Get rid of it and go either Ironman or OME, both are full spring kits , last longer, ride and handle 100 times better than stock etc
OME gets you 2.5 inches, Ironman 2.25 without adding anything OME 927/948 part numbers

As far as getting what you have in there its very easy to do
If you are having issues, two rachet straps on the legs of the clevis pulls them right in
No problems at all doing it that way, have done a lot of them by myself even and never had an issues stuffing 10 lbs of lift into what looks like a 5 lb area LOL
