Looking at your pics are frustrating. Mine doesnt even look close to that and i tried trust me .. I first got the 2.5 inch skyjacker kit. then when my 235 tires were rubbing and i wanted to go 265 i looked at all the spec and went up to 3 inches.. i then could install my tires but the new tires rub as well. only when turning but still. Now that i have spent the money now on 2 lifts i really cant spend any more. Did you do something different in order to get up as far as you are??
From the looks of my lift i cannot go any higher in the front my cv joints are stressed as they are.
You have what i want.. Looks awesome!!!!

this is my lift

can you get measurments of ground clearance for pinchwelds, front and rear diffs, and also pics of the CVs? Any vibe in the driveshaft?

Thanks to Liberty’s like this, we are breaking the stereotype of a weak Jeep.

Very awesome and very trail worthy! :wink:

Roccet.. your jeep looks great ( i like the roof rack!) i have no idea how mine turned out so well. All it is is the frankenlift for an 06 liberty.. i also added one extra spring isolater in the rear to level it out (frankenlifts are normally a bit high in the front... and this advice was given to me by a fellow LOST member (sorry i forget who but thank you!).. my CV joints are not bad at all.. and i have 18.5 inches from the pinch weld to the ground. i apologize for not taking pictures as you requested.. but my batteries went south for the dig. camera

as soon as i get some fresh ones i'll post them. were did you want me to measure for the front and rear diff's? i have no vibes in the driveshaft.. everything has been fine so far.. besides a drop in power. thanks for all the comments!.. i love my liberty and proud to show people what they really are!.. Unixxx (i think that is his name on here).. was my inspiration...

i'm measuring from the bottom of the front and rear diff cases to find ground clearance there (if you don't have a front skid). The Down Right LOST Group and I are installing a Rusty's Lift tommo. These are 2 pre-lift measurements I took, so it would just be good to compare. Thanks! If you don't get around to it or the pics don't worry....its just for comparison reasons.

ok i just measured mine and i have to say are you sure you measured correctly????? I just measured 17.5 inches..
i cant believe that your only 1/2 an inch taller than mine. it looks ALOT taller that mine. now im measureing from the Ground Flat with the Concrete to the bottom of the metal. the weld is another .5 taller.
I measureed the front first @ 17.5 inchs then the rear at just under 17.3 so almost 1/4 inch lower in the rear than the front. i always thought it was lower in the rear but couldnt put my finger on it. but man thats barely measureable between yours and mine. I had to go to the Richard hanna jeep dealership today just to see the height difference from a stock 07 I couldnt convice a saleman to move there jeep right next to mine but I definatly could see mine was about a fist taller. (only measurement i had available forgot the tape measure) But a fist i didnt think was enough taller.. it should have been another 1/2 fist (just kidding)
i just cant put my finger on it but just by looking at your pictures you look WAY up there.
What was really funny was there was a row of jeeps and mine was parked on the otherside of a curb but still inline and i could see the top of my jeep over all of those I had to laugh.. I could actually see the silver on the top over the stock racks. only thing to make me feel better about my lift since i got it.
Well i have to tell you your rig looks SWEEET!!! i love it. just wish i could get mine to look like that. who knows why it doesnt.. i cant figure it out.

front pinch weld is 18.5in rear pinch weld is 18.5in front dif. is 13in rear dif is 9.5in this time i measured it in our cement floored garage instead of on the driveway so im positive it's level.. .. sorry about the confusion. i have no idea why mine looks bigger.. maybe it's just the flat hood and different grill... i couldn't be happier with it's performance offroad... liberty's are WAY more capable than i thought. i think it was parked on a bit of a hill in the pictures i posted earlier.. this one is pretty level... i cant wait to compare it to a stock one.. i think i'll get the same warm feeling inside you did. hopefully..

he's also running 265's which may add in it looking taller, just a thought

body style could also play a factor again just a thought

seeins the front's are designed differant from older years

Looks great!!!! Can't wait till I get my lift.....

i think your right the body in the front is much different.. i noticed the stock 07 front end valance did not hang as low as mine does. Mine hides alot from the front that is exposed on the 07.. I even thought the 07 stock was as tall as mine by looking at the front but come to find out its just my bumper is much bigger. as far as running bigger tires we run the same size tires. actually i think we run the same exact tire. Just looks like my body is a bit lower and im only about 1 inch lower on the body at that . It Goes everywhere so im happy.. when i was running stock height i was having some problems high centering when i drop my tire pressure .. im not having that problem any longer. Now i can hang with the Wranglers. In fact you guys would be Proud to know i was the only jeep not to get stuck in the 3foot snow .. In fact i had to lead because evenyone was getting stuck.. OH YA!!!!! i changed some minds as well. every jeep freek i was with on that trip told me they had no idea the liberty was that good and i got the nick name "TANK"!!!! ill take that!! nothing can stop a tank..

frankenlift on!
