Post subject:  suspension/ lift question...
I know all you Liberty Experts are probably sick of lift questions... but i do have one more for you.

my 2003 sport has roughly 84,000 miles on it. i know my suspension has had it. and i want to increase the height of it. roughly 2-3 inches. however i am on a budget. hopefully i can do this on a 300-400 budget.

i thought someone has used OME shocks; bigger ones to increase his ride height. is this right?

anyone have any other suggestions? thanks for your help. i am still new to all this mechanical stuf.

two questions

1. are you able to do the work yourself?

2. how difficult would it be to raise the spending to say.. 550?

ome coils front with ranchos and 2 or 3 conduit nuts in the clevis and jba2.5 rear with ranchos with 2 extra iso's come to just about 500 , then tag on about 50 for alignment and you'd be set around 2.5-3 inches

no question about it, you're going to need new coils, so i'd start there

shocks don't increase height, spacers or new coils is what you need. You will need new, longer, shocks to take advantage of the taller suspension after the lift.

I can raise 500 easily.. have my tax return that i did not spend yet...

and my buddy is an auto mechanic, he said he would be more than happy to do my lift for me. even though he has never done a liberty before. he has done his own 95 wrangler though.

aw man, you golden then

start pricing shocks, i know marlin is carrying bilstens now, he's also got ome shocks and rancho shocks

can either go with 17004 ranchos or ome L's for the rear get 2 or 4 upper isos from your local dealer (12bucks or so a piece) couple hockey pucks from ya local sports center (2 bucks a piece) for extended bump stops

4-6 total conduit nuts from a local hardware store like 75 cents a piece for the front clevis

whatever flavor ome front coils you want

and then pick your rear coils

jba 4 inch rear coils will probably settle to around the 3 inch mark or, the 2.5's with 2 extra upper isos will be around the 3 inch mark

ome92x with 3 conduit nuts tends to hit around 2.5-3 inches

however you go about it should put the parts in about the 500 mark cheep out much less than that and ya might regret it ;)


if ya half half common knowledge of suspensions then the libby lifts are nothin harder than an involved brake job on difficulty
