I see alot of people writing that there Liberty is pre-lowered. I am wondering how I can tell if my Liberty is pre-lowered or not?

only early 02's were pre-lowered (I think Apr 02 was the cutoff) - everyone else is lowered ~ 3/4" shorter springs.

(a Magazine editor ran one of the initial Liberty's on an Autocross course and rolled it - Jeep freaked and chopped the springs to make it more idiot proof.....)

A vehicle isn't yours till you learn to wrench on it yourself.

2002 Jeep Liberty Sport (Eugene, I am the Passenger, And I ride and I ride.)
1999 Chev Astro 2WD (Green, Daily Driver)
1997 Chev Astro AWD (Grumpy "The Heep", $250 Rally Van, 335k miles, 2" lift, 31" tires)

idiots for sure if they rolled it, I have seen Corvettes rolled over but they didn't change them any, stupid drivers that think they can drive

KJ's built prior to April 2, 2002 are "pre-lowered" - your build date is located in the driver door jam near the latch.
Mine for example is 09/01.

so if you dont have a pre-lowered liberty and you put a lift on does that mean that you get 3/4 more than what it says?

not exactly - most of the lifts and therefore measurements are on the lowered - but if you have a 'prelowered' and you put in a spacer lift - it's higher. If you replace springs - they're all the same since that is the pre/post change.

The one thing I've never understood was whether the 2 1/2" limit on Liberty lift came from the prelower or lower measurement.




It's been my experience that the more you 'idiot proof' something - the better idiot you make
