That much lift just from the Rusty's lift? That KJ looks pretty high!

From what I've read on the forums based on what people have been getting for their trades/sales, that price seems kinda high.

You can follow the link to eBay or, here it is:

2004 Jeep Liberty Sport with 81270 Highway Miles

3.7L V-6, Auto, Command-Trac 4WD (NP231 Transfer Case)

Power Door Locks, Power Windows, Air Conditioning, Cruise Control, Tilt Wheel, Dual Front Air Bags

2.5" Lift (Frankenlift: OME Coils, Daystar Hardware, Rancho Struts & Shocks, Bump Stops)

Rubicon Express Adjustable Control Arms

18x7.5 Giovanna Anzio Wheels ($325 ea.) wrapped in P265/60 BF Goodrich Radial Long Trail T/A Tires

1.25" Aluminum Wheel Spacers

What the Liberty needs:

The passenger side CV boot is torn.

The windshield is cracked about 2" up from the dash. I commute up and down the I-95 corridor and got tired of repairing and/or replacing it.

The A/C needs to be recharged.

I'm including the stock suspension parts, stock wheels & tires, a set of aftermarket Moog lower ball joints, an additional Teraflex 2" BB, and a Haynes Repair Manual.

And here's a KBB breakdown of what it's worth;


Suggested Retail Value.: $12,430
Private Party Value.......: $8,335
Trade-In Value............: $5,360

I still owe $9K+! I grew frustrated and decided to look for another XJ. I ended up purchasing an EB. If the KJ doesn't sell I'll drop the price a little and if it still doesn't sell, I'll return it to stock condition, give it to my daughter who'll be getting her learner's permit in October and sell the lifts, wheels and tires separately.

Shortly after the Frankenlift install the passenger CV boot blew. I was hoping to replace the stock CV axles with stouter units, Al's a-arms or better yet, a quality lift. Then after crunching numbers on a SAS I figured I'd be better off with another rig, so, I sold my 97 TJ, I'm selling my KJ and I purchased an EB with a 351W, NP435, Dana 20, Dana 44/Ford 9" and ARBs front and rear, Cross Enterprises bumpers front and rear, etc, etc, etc.

Bad for us who bought new - Great for getting into a used KJ

Toyota Trucks 10 years old are getting more $$ then a 2 yo KJ in Hawaii

It hurts, but we can makem (KJs) work and get out hard earned money out of them.
