2002 Jeep Liberty Sport

So three years ago I purchased a Frankenlift 2 preassembled front kit from boulder bars, 4 inch rear JBA springs and shocks and JBA upper control arms. Due to my previous liberty being totaled 2 weeks later. I now finally purchased a new one, and I'm back in the game here.

I don't mind a slight rake in suspension, but I'm curious how far off height wise I will be front to back. I'd like to purchase clevis spacers from JBA or a 1/4 inch top mount spacer as I feel the front-end will be too low.

Can anyone provide me some advice?

Thanks!!!! :JEEPIN:

Frankenlift will give you 4 inches of lift when installed. You do not want to add anything else to it for more lift or you'll have issues with the springs hitting the UCAs.
Will even have some without adding anything

Tom, now that I have my lift. I've found quite a few wrangler wheel and tire combos with 255 75 17. I had 245 75 16 using stock wheels and over sized tires Goodyear duratrac on my last liberty. But I know you've seen and experienced quite a few setups. Thoughts?

I assume you mean the Wrangler wheels and tires that are for sale everywhere cheap
Those are from the later model JK Wranglers and have a different bolt pattern than the KJs do.
PLUS those are a 32 inch tall tire and you'd need to regear to at least 4.10s

Tom, you forgot to mention those are probably the worst tires ever put on a SUV. I often pull them off with less than 10K miles on the set because they've had 5-6 rock punctures in the 4 tires and one's now got an impact break. Nobody in their right mind is gonna buy a single expecting the set to go ahead and wear out without a stinky poo load of flat problems.
