Hey my fellow Texans !! New to L.O.S.T LoneStar. What type of Liberty's everybody running ? I've got a 2011 KK Liberty Jet 4x4. Only thing i have done so far is Yakima Whispbars and Mega Warrior Basket with all the accessories. Planning on installing a Rockkrawler spacer lift and upgrading my struts and rear shocks to Rancho. Will be running 265/50r20 Nitto Terra Grapplers with a 1.25" Wheel Spacer. RockLizard Fabs front and rear bumpers.

First.....welcome.

I'd forget the rockkrawler junk....its a pos. Get something from jeepinbyal. Ome or ironman

I have a KJ with iron man springs and bilstein shocks. Rides 100x better than stock. Custom front bumper. I wouldn't run spacers, but if your dead set after I get my wheels soon you can have my spacers for cheap. Just keep em tight and use red loctite

Rockjunk lift is $325
Ironman springs $266 for f/r

Its just makes sense.....I've personally done 6 lifts on KK and I wouldn't go any other way. Plus I have seen the RK Clevis bend at down south off-road. I have it sitting in a box in my shed after we put Ironman on his KK

Gotcha. Thanks for the advice about RK. May have to reconsider that purchase. Where do you do your wheeling at ?

Mostly down at down south off-road and the beach (Bolivar) a lot. Mainly around Houston area but houston jeep people go to hidden falls and Texas off-road ranch alot. Ive only been once to both. Had a blast but its a good drive for me from Liberty

That's cool man. When I lived in The Woodlands my roommates would take my Cherokee down to Spring Creek. Fun place to go. Sure miss living in Houston, was nice being so close to the beach. Took my KK down to Surfside and it did pretty well in the sand. Good times !!

Spring creek was a blast.....but it got shut down, I think the city bought the rights to the property

Welcome! Man you're from way up north. Practically an
Okie. :wink: JK.
I'm running a '11 Renegade on JBA 4" lIft and 245/75 16 tires.
I highly recommend getting full skids, rocker protection, & tow points before you get your lift if you plan on doing any wheeling. And Going down to a 16 inch wheel. That way you can air down more (it makes a huge difference). But do with it what you want.
Keep checking the forum we have a couple of runs coming up and feel free to try and set some up too.

Haha see you got jokes bro. Lol I've got full skids and tow points front and back. I've tested my Jeep on several trails up here. Did better than I thought. Where do you go wheeling JeepNCrowd ?

I usually go to Hidden Falls Adventure Park (near Marble falls), Padre Island National Seashore, or anywhere else I can adventure (Colorado, Utah, W. Texas). I've also been to a few other more local parks. I'm currently looking forward to a run in March to Brazos Valley Offroad Ranch near College Station.
