Welcome to LOST. Lots of other posts about this. Get the HD springs. Everyone recommends the HD springs over the Med even if you aren't getting an ARB. Have fun!

| Post subject: | Lift Kit question |
If I'm going to lift my liberty, I'm going to do it later this year, maybe Feb or April...but I'm looking at the OME 2.5 lift kit with shocks...There are 2 options, HD or medium strength...I know what the stiffness/strength is for, but if I'm going to get the ARB winch bumper about 3 months after the lift, should I get the HD coils even tho the ride might be crappy at first due to the stiffness of the HD coils? |

I thought we just went through this   look at some very recent posts for all the numbers etc of what you need.
HDs will not ride that rough at all without a bumper, plus IT IS A JEEP  we don't do Cadillacs here

oh the part numbers for them are OME 927 for the front and 948 for the rear they are about $70 each from DPG Off-Road (Dirk, 316-776-9900), and dont forget your new rear shocks Rancho RSX17004 ($60 Summit Racing) and RSX17505 ($100 Summit) and Terraflex front bump stops ($40) and then for the rear bump stops you can just stack and glue 3 hockey pucks and bolt them down Front Struts http://store.summitracing.com/partdetai ... toview=sku Rear Shocks http://store.summitracing.com/partdetai ... toview=sku Bump stops http://www.trailquest.com/teraflex/KJ/s ... l#bumpstop Coils www.dpgoffroad.com and then if you want another 1/2" of lift you can do a 3 ring clevis in the front (2" electrical conduit nuts) and an extra rear iso |

yep shop around, it took me two months of finding the best price on everything, parts came from 3 different places but I did it right the first time and never looked back!

+1 to the HD springs, hell i personally find my ride a little too soft for my driving but that's just me(the roads here arn't exactly smooth to begin with). If you get the MD you'll only end up upgrading to the HD down the line and kicking yourself for not doing it the first time round. |
