Any opinions on this lift? I can't install myself and it's all that's available by the shops in town. Any drawbacks? Maybe wheel 2-3 times a year, fairly light stuff.

They shops claim 32" tires will fit no problems and no trimming...

Don't believe the shops. Do a search for Rough Country and my user name to see what problems I had with it.

Every lift I know of needs trimming to run 32s. I bet the shops haven't even done a Liberty yet and are just looking for the business and a test subject.

You'll have to take it apart first, but if you can get a shop to remove the top plates from your old struts and assemble the new struts from Rusty's, it is no harder to install than the RC. In fact given that before the connecting the clevis to the LCA, the RC assembled strut is longer by 1.5 inches it may be easier.
