| Post subject: | Lift on high mileage KJ? |
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. |
