can you cram the 3in lift on a 02?

i was wondering if there was anyone who has made the 03 and up 3in lift fit under a 02. i read that the 03 and above are all 1" smaller.

I have done it, and right now wth around 55k on my lift and 74k on the Liberty, the CV joints are complaining and with the a-arms I designed I have no problem with spring to a-arm hitting (unless I go to 4 inch which I had for a while). I did wear the OEM upper ball joints in less than 10k miles however! I also wore out the rear upper ball joint prematurely, and due to the great amount of flex cracked one of the lower arm connections on the diff. I replaced the lower arms with ones that are about to rotate, thus flex with the rear.

i found it

rock krawler is coming out with a 2nd vr of the 7up lift and it comes with everying to do a SFA. Should be the same price so i cant think of any one picking ifs over SFA??? but its not due to come out till later this spring. i think im just going to wait. i mean i dont wanna dump all this $ into the kj and still have IFS but im sure that wait will be worth it
