go with the full suspention one ( $465) best bang for the buck & the ride is superb wether you wheel very little or alot it's worth every penny

if you go with the spacers your ride will be much harder due to the fact the factory springs will be wicked compressed all the time BUT I haven't heard anything bad about it just personal experience with a spacer lift now I have the full kit

Yes go with a full suspension lift you will be so much happier in the long run. Remember you want to UPGRADE your suspension system not just adding heighth however is the cheapest way to go. Also no you do not want to go 5 inches of lift! Well you could if you only want to sit and look at it :lol:

2.5 maybe 3 is max without a ton of work.

DO NOT BUY FROM RUSTYS

Over the past few weeks I have had more problems with Rustys offroad then I care to think about
most notably is the fact that they charged me for parts then did not ship them
also the fact that I have their ALC's all around on the TJ and in less than a year they have all need to be repaired
on top of that when I just got back the rears they are only slightly better than when I sent them

Rusty ,the owner, acts like he is doing me a favor by fixing them ,warranty, then when I ask him why he charged me for the jam nuts but did not ship them he has 10 different excuses and still refuses to ship them over night so I have to run on 1/2 fixed LCA's as a trail guide

I would NEVER buy from them based 90% on very poor customer sevice and the fact that when it fails they dont like to fix it
some of the products are ok but the service is the worst

Just so every one who reads this knows I would not have this problem but they refused to over night the parts that I ordered over a week ago at the same time as other items that I now have but are useless to me with out them
and their cost for shipping $30
I am willing to pay for the parts all I wanted was them to pay shipping

i figured but what are the riskswith the cheaper one because i can affprod that one with a 286 dollar car payment not so much for the 465

Some of the questions you want to ask are:
How long will I keep the Liberty?
What kind of ride do I want?
How often do I want to tear the front end out to replace struts, or whatever else that wears out quickly etc.
Do I have a place and the tools to do all the work myself?
When I said to look at it as UPGRADING your suspension, if you are like some and in one or two years get tired of the Libby and buy some other junk, then buy cheap lift. If you enjoy tearing your Jeep apart and putting it back together then maybe buy a cheaper lift that way you can keep working on it :wink:

I could go on and on but if you save up and do it right the first time then you dont have to do it again for a very long time. I admit I looked at cheaper lifts but saved up and bought what I thought was the best and what worked for me.

I've never had a problem getting my parts from them, but whoever answers the phone there is a bull$hitter. If i had to do it again i'd go with the frankenlift. :wink:

I have mentioned this before and its my opinion but do not go "cheap" on the suspension componets on a $20,000.00 + Jeep! You might as well save up and get the right one the first time(trust me, I have made the mistake and bought a Crappy spacer lift from @$@%@ Outfitters and wasted my $$$). I hope this helps

Freshmud · **Posted:** Thu Jun 07, 2007 10:40 pm

ok im saving then

RQuarte · **Posted:** Thu Jun 07, 2007 10:49 pm

better to save and do it right the first time around then have to redo it later down the road. You want the best for your car. :lol:

last two times i had to deal with them, it was a bad experience. got two different stories from two different people, and they both denied their original stories.

love the lift, but despise the piss poor customer service.

freshmud, if you dont plan on putting a bumper on your kj, the rustys lift IS very capable, ive never had anny issues with mine, it holds up very well. if you do, spend the money on the frankenlift.
