Knight, 2.5" rear springs I assume? Stack the isos a little and you should be around there. Not sure exactly how JBA springs sit. Up front you can adjust up to 4+" so you're set there.
I just measured mine. Rear is 21.5, front driver is 21.5-21.75 and front passenger is 22.

Thanks, yes I got the JBA 2.5 rear coils.
The past week I've been emailing Marlin back and forth
and according to him I wont need bumpstops for 2.5" coils in the rear. (Unless I do a lot of off roading, or if going with a 4" lift)
I did receive the Teraflex bumpstops for the front that came with the "adjust a strut" kit.
For the rear:
I currently have the longer Bilsteins 5125s shocks, so I think I'm covered.
I plan on adding (per side) a total of 2 isos on top and one in the bottom and see how it goes.

Those 5125's are the 4" HD shocks correct?

Painted my shifter knob black with Plasti Dip since I personally liked it compared to the other ones available.

Also finally got a nice enough day to install the AVS bug deflector.

Got mine from Amazon, shipped free if you're a member

4wheelparts and summitracing also has them iirc.
On a side note, they don't come with the correct size sleeves, I had to re-use the ones I had from my skyjacker hydros.

That's because Bilstein technically doesn't make shocks for a lifted Liberty lol.

Knight, you said you're shooting for 3-3.5" of lift? You'll love the height. I sit around 3.5"(I think I got a little more... :twisted:

). The kit should have came with a-arms right? One of these days LI will have a meet & greet for all the new members...

Bmxer,
I'm aiming to get around 2.5-3"

I didn't get the A arms, (per Marlin, I can stick
with the stock for now) but they're def on my wish list.

Marlin knows his stuff. Great guy to deal with. I know around. 3" is where the a-arms start being more needed. Might get away with it though because his coilovers have a slightly smaller diameter than standard springs. He knows best lol.

I picked up 2 12” LED bars on Amazon for relatively inexpensive, I’m excited to finally get them on there!

Look at the difference. I'm not sure if it was that dirty from the Rent-A-Car that previously owned my KK or if it already had a yellow tinge to it but yuck..

I guess my lungs look like that since I don't have one.

Today I decided I can leave well enough alone. I decided id remove the dip from my grill and paint the headlight covers to match.

I guess I'm okay with the results for now. Eventually I'll probably go back to stock. The paint ran on the left side.. Tried to fix but looks like crap up close. In hind sight I probably should have messed with it.

It's the air filter, not the cabin air filter lol. You have one of those :lol:

And I still love that color blue.... why'd I get red?

LKWJeeper · **Posted:** Sun Apr 13, 2014 3:25 pm

Lol whoops too many paint fumes.

I can't decide lol

I personally like the black. It breaks things up and makes it stand out more. Also looks more aggressive.

Edit: The girlfriend prefers the blue...

LKWJeeper · **Posted:** Sun Apr 13, 2014 3:38 pm

My wife preferred the black too. I'm still undecided lol
