Measured my stock height to see if I have any sag. I'm at 19 on the drivers side and 18.5 on the front passenger side. Lift is being installed tomorrow

Are you sticking with the SkyJacker lift?

LKWJeeper · **Posted:** Thu Mar 06, 2014 8:51 am

Yeah, I know I've heard several people say about the spring rates, but I wanted more lift than the OME and I've had several different 4wd shops recommend the skyjacker lift.

The skyjacker systems for a lot of vehicles are pretty good but our poor liberty's didn't get such luck.

If your standing by the idea that the old man emu lift is only going to give your a 1.5in lift you're wrong. you sit closer to 3 after it's all said and done and the springs are better. Also it's not poly spacers

Well for as much as I'm paying I'd rather go with the advertised height.

It's hard to tell them I want major compensation when I'm not paying for any of the parts, work, or rental I just don't have much to say I need paid for

You can tell them you want a full tank of whatever gas you use in your Liberty and a detail for compensation for all these wasted trips your doing to the dealer.

I think gage is actually running dura's at the stock tire size

Nah, he has stock size BFG all terrains. I know a guy on Jeepforum is running stock size duratracs. I forgot his name though.

Yup. BFG.
What load range Duratracs are you guys running that have them?

Load range C. Didn't see a need for E, and the wheeling we have doesn't really require it either.

LKW, what year and how many miles on the KK? I thought 19" was stock for KJs, KKs sat a little lower. If I remember right, most KKs sat around 18"

LKWJeeper · **Posted:** Thu Mar 06, 2014 2:22 pm

2009 with almost 23.5k miles. I measured from the center of the cap to the fender.

When my KK was parked next to my sister in laws '12 I definitely had some height over hers. I don't know how it would be possible but the only thing different was new tires and wheels.

You got lucky on yours lol. It's still a baby with 23.5k miles. I'm about to hit 34k with my '11. Also sat around 18" up front, might have been a little under around 17.75 or so when I lifted at 28k miles. I forgot where I put the measurements lol

LKWJeeper · **Posted:** Thu Mar 06, 2014 2:48 pm

Yeah I bought it last June with 14.5k miles on it. Carfax says it was on Long Island. So maybe y'all don't drive much? Lol.

It's in clean condition and other than a ignition coil issue. I don't see any problems with it sitting for so long.

We're all flat land for the most part. And roads are alright. If you get it out of the city or any of the boroughs you HAVE to replace shocks and springs. The roads are bad there and destroy suspension. As for miles, we're so populated that every town has everything you need. It's the commuters that put a lot of mileage on. I'm doing 70miles a day. My mom on the other hand is lucky to do 10.

Back in 2011 before I got the Jeep, my mom gave me her car as a 1st car. Hyundai Tuscan with the v6. She bought it brand new in 06, and by the time I got rear ended and it was totaled in June/August of 2011 it had 40K miles lol.

LKWJeeper · **Posted:** Thu Mar 06, 2014 3:20 pm

That's what I figured. Never a need to drive when there's everything so close by. Which is nice! I bet your mom's insurance was cheap by driving so little.

I commute roughly 50 miles a day, but my wife and I trade off on driving since we commute together. She's from Pittsburgh and isn't used to having to drive far to do stuff. Here we have to drive 25 min to get to a mall or something to do.

Also we drive about once a month to visit her family and now my twin brother in Myrtle Beach which is about 400 miles round trip.

How do y'all put so little miles on! I bought my '11 in the with 38 miles on it in middle of December of 2011. I have over 55K on mine, now. We have somebody in our club with an LJ (so '04-06 ish) and they only have 37k. I just don't get it!

LKWJeeper · **Posted:** Thu Mar 06, 2014 5:07 pm

I haven't even had mine a year. I've put 11k in 9 months.

They threw a full tank of gas in it this afternoon

I don't really want them messing with the interior to much but it's been washed multiple times since I left it with them
