Does anyone know if such a kit exists?
Will it be possible to do a body lift on a Jeep Liberty?
I am keen on exploring this, if anyone has more info please post it.

A body lift on a Liberty is impossible because the Liberty is uniframe.

The only way you could do a body lift would be to build a whole separate frame and then set the uniframe of the KJ on top...then do mega mods to get the running gear remounted.

Really there is no "real" way to add a body lift to the Kj since you can not separate the body form a non-existent frame.

Again, in case you don't know waht Unibody is...

The Body IS the Frame and cannot be seperated.

Take a look under your Liberty. You wont see a frame. The "frame" is built into the body. Just like all the Cherokees and GC. The CJ's and Wranglers have frames.

Nothings Impossible as long as you have deep pockets, and or connections with a salvage yard. Use some imagination and additionally a machine shop. Take a Dodge Deisel Ram then keeping the suspenion with keeping the drive train just shortened then gragh the Liberty on top. Killer HD suspencion a deisel power drive train and the luxuery and look of our KJ would be sweet. But as I said from the start Deep Pocket (lots of money), Machine shop and fabrication knowledge and eccess salvage yard parts to start the fabrication with. Could create a dream come true.
But alas , When dealing with "IF's". If a Frog had wings he wouldn't bust his stupid everytime he jumps :shock: :shock: :shock: :twisted: :twisted: :-)r :-)r :-)r :-)r
