IF you have 4X4 then 2.5-3" is as big as it gets
any thing more will bind the CV and then BOOM

You could go taller with 2wd but you would never git it alligned correctly
sorry to give the bad news

Nope! Why don't you be the first :roll:

As stated MANY times on here the lib can't handle more then 2.5" without some serious mods. Sure you can get more from iso pads and a clevis lift but nothing substantial. You want more lift? Try this area out.

buy a 75 Ford 3/4 ton and then you can go as high as you want, but seriously :? if you have been on any Liberty site then 2.5 (or right around there) is it. After that you are just asking for problems and then would be back on here saying the Liberty is junk. Put a good spring lift on/ set of 31 inch tires and have fun and also and be happy with it or buy that 75 Ford! :wink:

Why a '75 ford?

why not buy a YJ and go SOA with some 4" lift springs?
Then slap some 40's on it
I mean heck the 30/35 combo can handle that right?


sorry I had to

Just that I used to play with Fords and know how easy it is to get them up nice and high. But then my 77 Dodge van on 40s wasnt that hard to lift either :lol: :lol: :lol: Yep you could go your way also if he wants to keep his KJ, and spend some bucks doing it right. I was just looking through some pictures of my old projects last night and the Ford stuck in my mind

FYI.....most legitimate Jeep Dealerships will accept warranty on any lift under 3". If you go more, you can pretty much kiss your warranty, for your suspension (if you still have it), goodbye....

i would jsut swap the spacer lift for the coil lift and give me your spacer lift. you wont get much of a lift but will get way more flex also just a better ride. you can also do a frakenlift so then arb bumpers are next. also if worst comes to worst sfa swap is your best bet
