Hi all, I live in Glendale, AZ and I just got a '06 Liberty Renegade about a month ago. Its got 14,000 miles on it and a set of 245/75/16 Goodyear Wrangler MT/R's on it. I've had it out in the desert a few times and am in love (minus the gas mileage). I have found lots of great information on this site, and thank everyone for their knowledge.

Welcome from down Maricopa way (where we're about to get pounded again by the monsoon storms - yay!).

I do not know. This is my first SUV and don't really know all of the specifics but everything under there looks stock. I was wondering if it had spacers but have been to lazy to pull away the plastic in the wheel well, plus I am not sure I would even know what to look for. The gap between the tire and the bottom of the fender looks similar to any stock jeep with stock tires. At full turn the tire just touches on both sides.

Welcome! I Love wheelin' AZ! Hoping to get out that way later this year when it cools off to do some wheeling. I have family in Sun City West and Surprise.

Post up pics and we can help you figure out if it has a lift.

Welcome to LOST!!
One way to see if you have a lift is to measure from the middle of the wheel ( center of the center cap) to the bottom of the flare. Stock you would be 18/19 inches maybe with a lift 21 inches and up
Take a picture of it as well and we maybe able to identify what you have

Again welcome!

Ok so heres what I got: From the center of the wheel to the bottom of the flare is 20 3/4 inches front and 20 1/2 in the rear. From the top of the tire to the inside of the wheel wheels is over 7 inches outside and over 5 inches inside (it slopes).

Here is some pics, maybe these help.

That's all I got, so what do you think?

This gives me hope that when I whenever I sell my KJ, someone might actually buy it lifted. Ofcourse the value will suffer... How much did you get it for?

eyehatetofu · **Posted:** Fri Jul 24, 2009 1:05 am

I got it for 17 grand. I was told it was not lifted at the dealership I bought it from. Then I started looking around these forums and seen that you coudn't fit 245/75/16's on a stock KJ. So, I didn't know when I bought it. Kinda makes me wonder if I should get it serviced there? Might have to look somewhere else for service.

I bought it because it was a 4x4 Renegade with the full mopar skids and 13,500 miles. I had been looking for over a month for a KJ Renegade and they would disappear here quick. Considering the price I might have overpaid a little, but they were selling 07's sports with 50,000 miles + for 13 grand. I couldn't find any TJ's under 20 grand with low miles. If I knew it was lifted I would have swindled them down more. At least it can't void the warranty that came with it right?

I would imagine where they sold it with the lift they would have to honor any warranty on it.

Welcome to the forum and nice find on the low mileage KJ!! When you get a chance, stop in and say hi on the AZ LOST JEEPS forum. We always have some kind of run scheduled. Hope to see you soon!!
