has anyone ever done this? i'm in the market for a lift and i was just wondering if it's possible to say buy ome springs here, struts and plates there, shocks from there, and other misc. parts from another place. i know there are certain parts (spacers) that i'd have to get from say all j or whereever but i was just curious if anyone has done this. |

I have OME Heavy Dutys from All Js Rancho struts from All Js Rancho rear shocks from Summit Racing Conduit nuts from Lowes So yes you can do it that way, I searched around found good prices, free shipping etc. Took two months but then I never missed 5-6-700 dollars at one time that way! Tom |

Yes, it can be done and cheaper then most would think. You just have to take the time to look around a little for some deals. I have the pieced together lift listed in my sig. I'm very happy with it so far and you can read the post I did after everything was installed HERE. If you read thorugh the thread I listed where I found the different parts and what they cost when I bought them. |

I have done it with my "04' Libby. I bought Rusty's front and rear springs(around $250.00) added Rancho's struts and rear shocks(around $150.00) added front conduit nuts(around $2.00) rear top isolators(around $15.00) and added some hockey pucks on the rear for bump stops(around $4.00) I kept it under $450.00 and got the set up I wanted. When I added new wheels and tires, "That's when I got into the piggey bank"! Haven't got the hang of posting pics yet, but you can see my rig on Post pics sight under CIMMERIAN My"04" Liberty |

Hello, I have OME HD all around for the moment but I just got shipped the Extra Heavy Duty springs from King Springs from down under for the front and I will get the back end of the Rock Father II setup installed pretty soon. Once I get this all in I will tell you guys how it wheels... + maybe the front fender cut to allow for bigger tyres(235/85 R16...) |
