First offroad experience with Frankenlift

RespectMyLibertay · **Posted:** Wed Sep 28, 2005 1:15 am

I had a 2003 Liberty Limited stock but with skids...now it's got the Frankenlift and it's more like a beast! I installed it over the weekend, which was only as complicated as the IFS made it. I took it off-road for the first time Monday night. The flex is just awesome; I was going steady through some of the biggest ruts in the trail that used to seem so huge when not lifted. My friend in the passenger seat was awed by what I was going through, and he's used to his Chevy Z71 pick-up with 33s. This lift is amazing!!! I still have stock tires and the lift really makes obvious what my next upgrade needs to be

.

BTW I noticed on the ride home from that trip that the ride is so much better than stock. People kept reminding me that "It'll be taller now, so go slower, cause you don't want to tip it", but it feels almost the opposite when driving. But hey, it's a Jeep, not a Porshe, right?

Mine's on it's way, and is probably sitting at the border waiting for the good old 'portage fee' to be applied.

How does it look with the stock tires? I'll be running with 235/70/16 Revos to begin with, but I need new tires soon anyway.

That is great! Mine is on the way should be here late this week I think. Darn military mail.

I want to install it this weekend hopefully.

Glad to hear it is doing well for you.

Haha I totally understand the military mail part and I'm not even outside of the US! Can't wait to see pics of your libby lifted.

I just ordered mine too! Don't forget about Free Trade... vehicle parts made in the USA are not subject to duty, only taxes. If you clear the items yourself you can also avoid the brokerage fees.

It looks a little weird with stock tires now that it's lifted, but it makes the lift more obvious at first glance. Check out my cardomain.com page in my signature. I'm adding offroad pics right after this post.

Nice pics. It does look strange with the stock tires, but hey, at least you know what to blow your cash on next huh?

Have you decided what tires you wanna go with?
