Hey man, where did you buy this from? I want the EXACT setup and i see it wasnt too pricy....
And how was shipping?


I bought a D-Ring Hitch like that for $40 at Tractor Supply. Not sure if they have one of those in MI.

Yeah, I got them from a local off road parts store called ChuxTrux. So I didn't have to worry about the shipping. I'm sure that you can find them online for reasonable costs somewhere. I love the set up though!

Ok, so someone in my local club is selling their wheels off of a 1990 Cherokee. I need to get some good wheels soon before I start off-roading this thing. I was wondering if what is has will work. They are 31x10.50x15 Runway Enduro MT's on stock "10 hole" jeep wheels. Will these fit on my Liberty? I hope so, cause I am running out of time, Haha. Oh, buy the way there is going to be a lift on the Liberator... very soon. I have all the parts, I just don't have all the tools to actually put it on. Thanks!

Ok, thanks.
I took it to the shop to have it put on. I wanted to do it myself really bad, but I didn't have the tools and I was running out of time. Plus I figured with something as big as the suspension, I should leave it to the professionals. But I LOVE the lift! I will put some pictures up of it later. I feel like I am driving a tank now! :)

Love the gg's. Getting ready to put a new set on myself, went from 235/70/16 to 245/75/16 ( :frankie: )
What size are your gg's?

Nice! So far I love them! They are 245/70/16, I wanted to stay close to stock size until my suspension figures out what it is going to do (I'm expecting it to sag a little).

Call me crazy, but I really really like the 245/70/16 look on my lifted Libby (I got a full 4 inches of lift from my sagged stock suspension recently). I think they look really sharp being that you see JBA's awesome red A-arms more fully, just the right amount of extra wheel well and the awesome coils wrapped around the yellow shocks...It somehow looks even taller with my current size. Sure I can fit 245/75s in there, but I really like the look not having the wheel well filled to the hilt. I really do want duratracs, but they dont come in the 245/70 size so I'm up in the air still...all that said, you are looking great!

How many miles on your stock suspension before the lift?

he had over 100,000 if I remember right, came into the garage ( mine :wink: ) at about 18 inches left over 22 so yes he did get 4 inches of lift from where he started at!

So I just got back from a wheeling trip today. It was the first time out with the Liberty! I must say... my Jeep did AMAZING!

You guys can expect to see pictures in the near future! :)

General Grabber 2 look good! Better then the Kumho Road Venture SAT KL61 (No 1 rating A/T at Tire Rack)

Between 245/70 and 245/75 you got just a half inch, just a extra 1/4 inch of lift nothing to worry about since a stock KJ can ride on 215/85 without rubbing with no lift kit if your suspension is in good shape and in most case the speedometer is more accurate. Take Warp2diesel setup as a exemple....

Geez!
Well, I probably won't get that much out of my new lift set up in September.
