I have a 2005 Liberty Renegade, and I put on Old Man EMU springs in the front, along with a strut spacer, which is supposed to provided 2.5" of lift in the front. I have a 2.5" puck in the back. Supposedly the front and the back are supposed to be lifted the same amount, but it looks like the front is about a 1/2" or more higher than the back. Is it the style of the fender flare that makes the front higher, or is my front end really lifted higher than the back? My thought was that maybe my rear stock springs are sagging. |

The front fender is an inch higher. You can measure at the pinch welds or rock rails in the front and back to see if you are level. |

if it doesn't settle...give Quinn a call at All J Products...they have a leveling puck for the KJ when the fronts a little higher...I'm not sure what they sell for...you would have to ask him |

I've got those... They're .5 inch spacers that go up above the spring. Not sure I should say how much I got 'em for but they're definately a cheap & easy way to level or just get a little extra height out of your lift... especially when your tires are way too big! |

what? If big is good, bigger is better! I'm waiting to see if mine settles down, if not I'll be looking for those back spacers. |

Trace the pad on a Mudflap, cut and install. |

I just put 2 pair of these spacers on mine to create an 1" of additional lift in the rear. I paid $30/pair. It is well worth it! |

I'm wondering if I should get the Old Man Emu spring for the back... but will those springs be too short to equal the front spring/spacer height? Will I need that spacer you guys are talking about? |
