For full color directions you can goto this web site and down load them:
http://www.roughcountry.com/jeep_liberty_3.html

This is the list of tools that I used:

1/2” Ratchet
8 mm Allen Wrench
10mm Wrench
24mm Wrench
15mm Deep Well
18mm Deep Well
19mm Deep Well
22mm Deep Well
24mm Deep Well
36mm Hub Socket
Med. Alignment Spike
12” Pry bar
Hammer
WD 40
Floor Jack 2 Jack Stands


First i had to get the "Before" pic...

Now im only going to show a few of the key point of the install:

This is the 3" puck installed on the front:

Ill give yall one guess on which is the stock spring for the rear...

This is with the stock springs and shocks removed..

The lifted spring and shocks installed

and then here is the "After" shot...

From what i can see in directions on the Rough Country’s web site, this would be the same type of removal and install for any other lifts that would use pucks and springs.

The one other part I will be adding really soon is a set of Firestone Airbags from 4 Wheel Parts at $89 which will help in keeping the rear level when pulling a load.

I hope this helps in trying to decide on which lift to install. Total time for the install was only 4 hours with just the tools listed...

:D

Just a thought: don't you need to fit larger bumpstops on the front? To me this looks like an OTT lift, but then on the other side of the strut. Botteming out is still posible....

on the 2 1/2 - 3" spacer lifts - you have a very,very high probability of tearing the drivers side CV boot on install.

diesel is offset so the CV axle is shorter

that said - it can be done - I ran a Daystar 2 1/2" spacer for about 40Kmiles - but it killed the springs.

an all spring OME lift is much better.


and Welcome to LOST.
