And therefore thats why I wanted to post this info. For people to not summarily dismiss what for their needs could work. I simply get a little irritated at the response someone new gets when they mention X-brand's lift and members here give an automated near angry response of "junk" "trash" etc. and tell the poster they are dumb for not searching when asked why it is so that said lift is worthless. Instead, as much as we all hate or get irritated at newbie questions, we should give guidance and offer solutions or fixes to those who may allready have these lifts. When someone posts they want, or have already bought say a RRO, Teraflex, or Rusty's kit, instead of telling them they wasted they're money and they are stupid for doing or thinking so, we should offer our help.
Cause when it was I who went searching for lift advice, don't you know I received more negative responses and outright hate filled oppinions than useful info. And when I used the search function for my research, It was extremely hard to find real, good to honest helpful information. All lift threads went pretty much like this (somewhat paraphrased of course) with just a couple of rare exceptions:
(OP--"Hey, I'm looking at X-brand of lift. How does it work, anything I need to know, really just want to fit bigger tires, don't do much offroad" etc.)
(response--Junk piece of crap, won't give one to my worst enemy. OME OME OME OME or, at the very least, get a full spring kit don't buy anything else etc. etc.)
(OP--why is that what is wrong with the lift I want to buy to save money. I don't have $600-$800 to spend)
(response--believe us, we are the experts,if you are looking to save money, you bought the wrong vehicle, in the wrong sport and shouldn't lift it in the 1st place) (if you really want to know, just use the search function here and you will find everything you need to know)
Now, looking at it this way, can't you guys see how inconsiderate it can seem to those who are just wanting to learn more about their Liberty's??? Most will not get as involved and research into the "reasons" as I have. I don't like the "just because, trust us" answer. I want to know the mechanics behind it all and why.

I agree whole heartedly.
Thanks 2mopar_diesels for doing real research instead of just talking to "internet forum trolls". I for one like real facts and research over hear say and speculation. Thanks!
I have a hard time sitting back and reading such good discussion
I guess I missed a lot today, and WHY did I miss out on all of the stuff, because I was helping another member install a new lift and JBA arms instead of talking on the forum
Actions speak louder than words my friend
If every one did more to help others instead of finding faults which are based on untruths it sure would be a better world
Internet Forum Trolls is that your new term for people who contribute nothing at all but bash those that do contribute life long knowledge and experience
Real facts and research which is supposedly better than real life experience and actually testing lots of various lifts etc your self for over 30 years.
This is fun, I am enjoying this game
