Lavalette is beautiful. Been there twice. I used to live in Forked River.

Road trip tomorrow to Long Beach Island for a few days, so gonna make sure I look over the Jeep a few times to be sure it's a safe ride. Can't stand when I'm on the parkway and 1 out of every 10 vehicles has a brake light out...

Oh my daily ride. And NO ONE here can drive properly. I can say that cuz I'm from TX, been here 3 years now. LOL

You got it. Watched a guy come all the way over from the on ramp doing 40 and cut me off in the far left lane. that was a fun maneuver doing 65 in the liberty to get around him.

I like it better when it's a Honda Accord with a million HIDs that gets mad that I passed him.

Put new shoes on the Jeep today. Ditched the Treadwright Guard Dogs (sold them to my neighbor) and put on a new set of Firestone Destination A/T's. The Treadwrights were nice, but they were just way too much tire and far too aggressive for a daily driver and the limited amount of off-roading that I do.

Ordered a larger throttle body today. hoping the experiment works. LOL. As per this forum many are seeing some decent outcomes.

Picked up a throttle body for about $70. Post results once I get it. probably be a few days before a long drive back to TX.

Very nice. I have some hooks that would fit if there wasnt the cords holding the headrest.

Nice! Me too. I want to try a turks wrap on the front grab bar.
Did the weaving on the seat because I have the (Airbag) AHR and didn't want to mess with taking it off

Replaced the gear oil in the rear. Used 85-140. That stuff is like honey lol.

Well I promised pics of the lift, I know a little late lol.

All in the street by my girlfriend's house, but yes it sits level(possibly even a little nose high). And yes it does have the KK lean, but it isn't too bad so I ignore it lol.

Looks great. I love the look of new tires. I think I have auto dysmorphia. Too me everbody else's liberty looks bigger than mine. Keeps me wanting to cobtinually jack it up higher with bigger tires. Lol. My wife disagrees with my diagnosis. Lol.

On a side note I just gave it a bath (after too many months). I hate how all the scratches become visible after the layer of dirt is gone. Good bye resale value.

Well as they say "bigger is better" lol.

I honestly don't know if I would want to go much bigger with the KK. With the amount of driving I do, my job, etc the 3-3.5" and 245/75-16s are pretty perfect. Granted I would love 32s or 33s, but that's hard to do on a Liberty. If I had a Wrangler, or any solid axle truck I would probably go bigger. Already planning my future Wrangler build, a kid can dream right?

My next vehicle will be a wrangler, but while I have the Kk I'm going to enjoy being one if the only ifs jeeps on the trail.
So I just left for Colorado! :JEEPIN:

Your Jeep looks GREAT! I love the stance, and wouldn't mind if mine were a bit "nose high". Right now it's nearly level, but still slightly lower in the nose. I can live with it, but if I ever go with a JBA lift, you can bet it'll be like yours. Level, or slightly "nose high".

Bmxer, your new lift and tires look awesome! My KK will be getting new shoes next week (245/75/R16 Duratracs), so it's nice to see a preview of how they will look. Thanks for posting.

Enjoy the trip, and as with you my next vehicle(aside from a possible classic I want to build) will be a Wrangler. Hoping for a JKU in the future, but for now it's nice to have a KK that stands out. AND I get a lot of Jeep waves from XJs and JKs.

Thanks for the compliments everyone. The level stance was actually a small part of the reasons for lifting. As I have said numerous times, I HATE rakes in vehicles. Even some of the old muscle cars should sit level, at least in my eyes. Very few people have actually seen how nice a level car/truck/Jeep can look, but hey to each their own.

I will definitely try to keep updating with measurements of the lift to see how much the OME/Bilstein combo got me.
