I've recently bought a 2002 KJ with 182,000 miles, 3.7 engine, 4x4.
Jeep seems to run and drive good. I'm working on fixing a transfer case issue at the moment.
This will be a daily driver for a while.
I really want to lift this jeep, but am weighing out the options.
I am new to KJs, but have lurked around here for a while and have learned most people seem to redommend the frankenlift or the jba lift.
I'm thinking frankenlift, Moab wheels, and 245/75/16 tires.
This will more or less be for looks, some beach driving, and hunting roads. No rock climbing, or serious off-roading.
Problem is, by the time I do these things, I will have spent more than I paid for the jeep.

Am I crazy to lift a liberty with so many miles?
I don't really know the expected lifespan of these things.
I've got to buy tires for it anyway, and would rather buy what I want.
Just kind of scared to spend all that for the lift, lift install, wheels, tires ect, then the motor blow.

What do you guys think?

If you're going to be fixing it up and driving it for a while, why not?

If something happens that's not worth fixing, you could always swap your oem suspension back in and sell the lift. People usually swoop up used parts pretty quick.
