Is it worth it or not? I can get one for $100. What are the Pros and Cons? Will it ruin my Ball Joints? Right now the Liberty is stock, with larger tires that rub just a little bit when I turn, so I'd like to boost it up a little. Thanks for any help! |

i reckon that be the same lift as mine...I have about 6K miles and have had no issues yet (I believe that since my dealer turned this KJ into a Demo at their lot they then proceeded to add the lift, so it might be like 4K miles on the lift insted of the odometer 6K)...but at any rate, it seems pretty good so far. This weekend I'll be checking the ball joints and all that jazz again to make sure everything is cool down underneath...i'll let you know what I find... As far as tires go, i got 255/70/R16s with 4.5" backspacing I believe on these wheels (how do you measure backspacing again, I'll check this weekend to make sure) and I HAD rubbing on the pinch weld and on the fog light/back part of the bumper area... |

Just trying to keep this alive a bit longer...any more input would be appreciated. I just need to know what the pros and cons of this lift are and if $100 is worth picking this one up for. Thanks! |

Use the search engine, put in OTT and reads away. We can't answer your question without more info from you on what you want the rig to be able to do. |

That lift is great, provided all you do is leave the vehicle parked for 99.9% or its life. If you prefer to use the vehicle than avoid it like the plague. I have had that same lift and it is only going to dissapoint you and cause problems. |

That's the new name for the OTT kit they have, I had that and it ruined my struts and that was all on road driving. I would not recommend that kit at all, plus when I called RRO to complain about it they said they never heard this kit caused issues. You will see alot of posts on this site about this kit and to avoid it. |

I love my OTT lift, I've had it for about 14 thousand miles. Mind you, I drive on road about 95% of the time. Or on the beach, but thats not heave off-roading |
