I have a 2" revtek spacer lift, plenty of flex i have burried my rear wheels so far in the wheel well the plastic facia has ripped off...... I can run 265-75 w/o any rubbing with day to day driving. I was always hesitant of 2.5" because I have an 02 prelowered liberty, I figured the extra .5" would cause all of those naughty CV issues

My experience has been that the number of inches is a very general estimation and each Liberty will actually see a different increase in height. Between model years and trims (sport, renegade, limited) there are something like a dozen different springs used. I personally saw 3.5" in the front and a hair over 3" in the rear from the Frankenlift which is marketed as a 2.5" lift. |

I was under the impression that once you put the new springs in providing it's a coil lift that they were all the same height pretty much on a 2.5 lift,now spacers is a differant story |

You are correct. If you install a coil lift, you get rid of the stock springs, so everyone will end up around the same total height. The amount of lift you gain will depend on what you started with. Spacer lifts will give you a different lift height depending on which of the 10 or so different springs DC has used. HTH. |

As Guyute1210 stated...where one ends up after installing any lift will be the same place others installing that same lift will end up but since not everyone will be starting from the same place the actual amount of lift realized will be different. |
