New to the site but I have some questions that seems on one can answer all because I have a liberty and very hated on but shes a beast. I have a 2011 liberty with a 2.5 lift. went to a 17' size tire instead of the 16' from the factory also went up in tire size. my problem is I keep going threw axels in the front end because from the factory they look like this - - and with the lift they look like this / \ ........ So my question is how can you drop your suspension down and doo doo keep the lift and make my axles straight

They won't be straight with a lift, but at 2.5 inches it won't hurt anything . My left side lasted over 170,000 lifted miles , most at 4 inches and above
If replacing stay away from any of the places that should only be selling wax,....like *utozone etc

This my seem like a silly question but are you keeping it in 4wd all the time? If it has the 4wd lock and 4wd lo as selections you cannot keep it in 4wd on the street

If that's the case I could see that burning up a cv but I have no experience to confirm.

I'm at 3.5" and 31s. Still on the stock CVs and have been lifted for over a year and 15k miles. You got an alignment after the lift was installed right? My CVs aren't too bad, they were a lot worse before the alignment. Measure from the center of the hub to the fender flare so we know how high you're really sitting, and take some pics of the CVs for us to see. Then we might be able to help more.
