Probably going to just get a Daystar lift and be done with it. I can't spend alot of money and don't really offroad as much as I'd like so just looking for something to give some extra height but from what I understand I'll probably have to get longer rear shocks.

What are some of the cheaper ones out there that would do the job?

Or at least, what sort of travel length am I looking for?

Thanks.

and please, I know the daystar isn't great but its really all I'm willing to do right now. No comments about how something else would be better.

Well there are really only hand full of options but only two good ones either OME or Rancho.

I'm running the Rancho RS 5000 Part # RS5248 in the rear of my lifted Liberty, and so far I'm very happy with them. They have a limited lifetime warranty. They are sold as shocks for the rear of an un-lifted Dodge Durango, but work great for the rear of a lifted Liberty. You may need a washer at the upper eye of these because the upper eye of your stock Jeep shock is just a touch wider. Some have needed a washer, some have not, I did. I bought mine from O'Reily Auto Parts for $57.99. The afternoon I called they did not have them in stock, but were able to have them there by 1pm the next day.

Hey i am attaching these two links i run the nitro shocks they are amazing but if you are looking to save a few bucks the hydro are still really good but i will strongly recommend the nitro its only an extra 8$ for them MONEY WELL SPENT
plus they look awesome with the red shock boots :pepper:
but thats just my :2cents:
