Hello
So I have a black 03 libery sport its my everyday car. I have been in to muslce cars for some time now. Now I'm getting in to four wheelin. I have gone threw some nice trial with my KJ and no problems at all. But I want to step it up a bit. What should I get get done to my KJ. I know to get tow hooks and skid plate but as far as my Motor, Rear, Tranny, and suspension what should I do? What is the biggest tire that will fit with no lift and body lift or suspension lift what are the + and - of each?
One last thing I have 118,000 thounsand miles mostly highway is it worth my time and money, I have never had a problem with it yet. Any help would be great. :)

Tow hooks first,then skids/rock rails.As far as the rest you can add a lockers(ARB airlockers,detriot TT,and such).The KJ is a unibody so there is no body lift(impossible to do on a unibody),there are some good lifts like the Frankinlift and rusty's.The biggest tires to fit a unlifted KJ is 245/70R16's or 235/75R16's.


Oh and welcome to L.O.S.T.!!!!!!!!!

Sure,though you might want to replace the LBJ's with the greaseable MOOGs(pt# K3199),and replace the UCA's with Jeepin by Al's tubular control arms with greaseable balljoints(for lifted KJ only).

Sorry.....

LBJ=Lower Ball Joint

UCA= Upper Control Arm

There has been 2 recalls for the LBJ's on some years of KJ's.
