That part about beefing up the front diff intrigues me. Any chance of getting more details about what they are doing.

Also, you might mention that if they can get their rig out to a really tough LOST West run, I'm thinking Calico, and it runs well that they'd have quite and outside sales team for their product. Tell them that we're all quite snake bit WRT the Rock Crawler episode.

Superlift was the company that really led the way in building a proper IFS lift back when Chevy first went to IFS on their trucks. A few other companies may have got their lift out before Superlift, but Superlift was the first to do it right, and addressed everything that needed to be addressed to lift an IFS, including STEERING. Superlift has had that lift on their Liberty for a long time now, and they have been all over the country with it, so it looks like it is being thoroughly tested before it is released. I like what I see, so as soon as Superlift is ready to sell, they have a customer. A 4.5" lift and a good set of 33" tiires with black beadlocks is in my Libertys future. I'll bet you guys didn't even know I was a fortune teller, LOL.

Last I recall that Liberator is running 35's. I'm not knocking the way it looks with the 35's on it. But a set of 33's would make it look more like it's got a lift. Just like the 33's on the 7" RK lift look small, there you would need the 35's to fill in the void.

Man I hope this Superlift kit is everything we have waited for. 4.5" and 33's would be the sweet spot.

As for the bumper, yes indeed it's nice. Our 02-04's would need the modified grill to work with it.

I know Dave Harriton pretty well (the owner of AEV). I think I'll fire off an e-mail to him and see if he is going to be making that bumper for us.

Kaboom.

Yes, they've had it all over, but in the back of a trailer. Also, they really haven't really done any serious off-roading with it. They are well aware that if they did they'd blow the front diff with those 35s. That said, I'm anxiously awaiting this lift! I hope they come up with a solution for the front diff. Maybe that collar idea that someone had on here a bit ago would actually work.

P.S. Matty, what is WRT?

Kaboom, let it ride. Like to hear what he'd have to say.

Yeah, I remember that collar too. At this point I'm wait for the excuse to change the front over to something more reliable. What ever works.

Oh, one thing I wanted to add.. They completely removed all of the plastic well linings and sprayed everything down with Rhino-lining. Looked pretty good.

I still love that bumper over all of the others I have seen (ARB and others). Anyone know how much it weighs?
