Well Hello all I just sold my XJ 1999 long arm and am looking to buy a KJ. I would be grateful to anyone who can give me info on KJ's. Such as whats the best year/any issues to look for when buying one. I am looking for a 03-05 and plan on lifting it right away so your thought on lifts would be great too. I read the lift post on here already and am looking at the
Rocky Road Outfitters 3".

Thanks all,

Welcome, KJs are awesome.

Hello and welcome and KJs are awsome. First ? is what do you want there are alot of kjs and alot of different editions. But the big ? is are you going to be a gasser or a CRD ? That will effect almost ever decision after you buy your libby. Also lift wise i would look at the Frankenlift, Jeepinbyal, and OME also. They are all great lifts and it is all what you want to spend.

Thanks and I will be looking for the GAS version.I was looking on here and al the lifts I see are a max of 3" has anyone done the 4.5 lift and if so any issues?

I am looking to get the most lift possible without trashing front axles.

There are a few people on here with the 4.5 inch lift some have even more but they usually have either the custom cut CVs or SFA. JBA will of course be your biggest help with all of this with CVs and even new front axle housings. But most people dont suggest over 3 inchs without having binding issues.

I think I may just go with the 3" to avoid axle issues and cost. I was hopping to squeeze at least 33" tires under the liberty.

Anyone running the Rock Krawler 3.5 lift?

Read through the lift thread, after that OME has the best springs period
Rock Krawler is junk, end of discussion
RRO uses OME springs at least but service is poor to none
Best places to deal is JeepinbyAl. AllJs ( Boulderbars.com) They both support LOST in many ways and are great to deal with
With the aluminum front diff and what you can lift safely 32s is it. As far as the numbers game I have seen people with what they call 3.5 inches sitting 2.5 inches below mine. Most when new were about 19 inches middle of wheel to bottom of flare so you can figure from there.
Also 4.10s is as low as you can go gearing wise so that also limits what you want to run.
245-75s works great , keeps your power/mileage etc pretty good without regearing

Thanks and Yes I read the Lift thread before I even posted on here!ALot of info but didnt really say what was best or how to get the most bang for the buck.
I will stay away from Rock Krawler!

Ok I think I am going to get the Rockfather Deluxe Assembled system. IS there anything else I shoud ad to gain lift or at the same time.
Thanks everyone now all I need is the Liberty Going to look at a 05 Renagade tomorrow.

Hello i have a Krawler 3.5 kit on mines never had a problem with it and im running 32x11.5x15's BFG's on 15x10 MT's classics gonna be getting the adjustasturt from AL's soon:JEEPIN:

Good luck with them, at that price I would go with AllJs Frankenlift, its proven and has way better customer support. Too many have had problems with trying to get any type of customer service out of Rocky Road. Punch their name in any forum and see what you find.

As far as Rock Krawlers, try running one for 100,000 + miles like I have with OME springs.
