Fixed the link for you.

That is the 2004 Liberator concept vehicle. The rims are factory Moabs (from the 04-06 Rubicon's) that have been bead locked. The suspension is a Skunkwerks one off I believe, along with a custom front diff allowed them to go that high.

More info here. http://www.4wdandsportutility.com/features/jeep/0610_4wd_2004_jeep_liberty_concept/index.html

Oh, by the way, Welcome to the Board! Introduce yourself in the new members section. The factory Moabs can be used on your KJ. Some omoney to get them beadlocked though.

That is the Liberator concept.It has a prototype 4" Superlift knuckle lift,don't hold your breath for it they scraped the idea.The rims are one-off rims to simulate beadlocks on TJ MOAB rims.The tires are 35",and a WK front diff was modified to fit up front to handle those 35's.Jeep had a unlimited budget for that KJ and no parts of it are available,all prototypes.You would need to do a SFA swap to get 35" tires under a KJ,the current KJ front diff will not handle over 32" tires and live.

So in short those rims and lift are not available.

I'will find some of those parts here in Chile, for my Cherokee ...

.. because, outside the USA Liberty is soled as Cherokee, for ... commercial reasons?

Outside the US the KJ is not called a Liberty from another automaker already has a Liberty on the market that is not sold in the US.

Good luck finding one-off parts on a prototype going to the crusher unless you fab the stuff yourself.

Also, the rear axle was moved to accomodate the tire size in the rear.
