Finally got my lift on!! Went great other than me killing one of the nuts that holds the upper ball joint, dealership had some extras. Heres the pics!

During:

I was afriad of the cv angles after the lift. But they are actually better after the lift than before. They were angled up more than they are angled down now. PERFECT!

Before:

After:

I can get some more before and afters if anyone wants them

Amount of lift I recieved.

Front left Fender:1.1in
Front right fender:1.1in
Right rear fender:2.32in
left rear fender: 2.25in
Hitch: 2.63in
Front skid:1.5in
Dont know how i got more lift at the skid than i did at the fender? Must of measured something wrong.

Great pics, Jeepjeepster. Thanks for sharing them.
I suppose it is an OME lift, right? I have mixed feelings about that lift, maybe I'll get not enough lift if I mount it on my 2.5 CRD. Which springs did you use ?. Which engine has your Liberty?
I love the OME quality but no so much the typical 'nose dive' of their kits (1.5 front,2,30 rear...and probably the front will settle a bit more than the rear..).
Cheers

its the ome like you said. I bought the front springs and rear shocks off of a guy on here. So the rear springs are new, im hoping the rear will settle some and thats why its so high in the rear. The front springs have around 10k miles on them, so they are already broken in. Ill post some more pics in the post above.Front and rear are medium duty springs and i have the 3.7 engine. If it doesnt settle then all you have to do is give it alittle clevis lift to level it out. No biggie. And it rides alot better i think. On small bumps its about the same, but on big ones it really makes a difference. Speed bumps are alittle softer, not as much as i was hoping though. Im getting alittle noise out of the front too, dont know if its a bad shock or what. ill re torque everything after a few miles and see if it stops.

Great looking Liberty.Did your lift change your ride any?My wife and I just bought a 2005 Renegadethat i want to lift any suggestions

Jeepjeepster · **Posted:** Fri Dec 02, 2005 11:58 am

yes, the ride changed. Its about the same in the front, maybe alittle softer. But the rear is much, much better. Over bumps it would bottom out alot, now it just soaks up the bumps. This is a very good lift, but its expensive, and you must do a clevis lift b/c the rear is to high. unless you like it really high in the rear. I do, but its alittle to high. Just look at the pics.

Got the new lift on!! lots o pics.
