D-23"
D-23"

After Settling a bit

D-22"
P-22.2"
Rear:
D-21.5"
P-21.75"

Hey texan...did you ever re-gear to 4.10's if you did I don't remember the post. Just curious cause your runnin 32's and I'm curious how they handle that big of a tire.

long_tall_texan · **Posted:** Sun Aug 02, 2009 10:53 pm

No, I have not re-geared. I still have the stock 3.73's. But... Remember I am only 2WD and don't wheel mine. If anyone would be considered a mall crawler, I am ashamed to say it would be me. Most of my miles are highway to/from work. It pulls the 32's fine for me. Doesn't even struggle at all. And no weird shifting either.

2004 Sport.
Skyjacker LIB250 lift, no clevis lift.

Approx. 55,000 miles of the vehicle with about 54,000 miles on the lift.
Installed in March of 2004.

Currently sitting at:
Front-20 3/4"
Rear-21 3/8"

No idea what it was originally. I don't thnk any of us thought about it back then.

Copied this post from JKJ Forum so we had a close-to-new stock fender height measurement to compare to...

Oh, BTW, I was at a shopping centre today and was talking to an old man with a brand spanking new 2007 Limited Liberty with all of 9316.4 KM on the clock and and asked him if I could take some measurements for his suspension.
He asked why and when I told him, he immediately logged onto this forum via wireless connectivity and said he had no idea that there was such a community for Jeep Liberty's!
Both front wheels?
19 and 1/32 inches.
Same for the rear.
No lift yet, then showed me a picture of his 2000 Cherokee sitting on 33 inch tires with his own home made goodies!
Nice !@#$% truck!
His wife stays home while him and his best friend (He's 73 and his friend is 77 years old!)
Go out wheelin' and teach young punks how to drive off road!
Gotta love it!

I figure I could add mine to the tally:

Before with Frankenlift Prem II, with 2 extra rear ISO pads per side, and NO clevis spacers:

Front:
23"
Rear:
22.75"

Now:

Front:
28.5"
Rear:
28.5"

One of the beauties of coilovers is being able to level the jeep out as it settles.

Frankenlift I front

Front left - 24"
Front right - 24"

OME and Rancho RS5000 Rear

Yep I'm about the same.................

Before...............

Front--23.75" front
Rear--23"

After...............

Front--29"
Rear--28"

I'll be dropping it about a inch here soon for a better caster/front pinion angle,trying keep at the 4.5 degrees of caster but get the pinion pointed just about 3-4 degrees more upward.

JMSMN · **Posted:** Mon Jan 04, 2010 10:40 pm

So 23.75" is the magic number mot to mess with the cv angles?

Granted I'm rather hard on my KJ and have done more of the harder trails then most.Well at least I didn't blow the front diff :BANANA:

JMSMN · **Posted:** Mon Jan 04, 2010 10:55 pm

Thats easy compared to the diff. Have to look on the bright side.

if measured right tires make NO difference at all, center of wheel to bottom of flare is the same if you have a 20 inch tall tire or a 32 inch tall tire\

after my last lift session going to OME790s in front
I am at 23.5 front and 22.75 rear each side
