WELCOME fellow MA member ( Fall River here :wink: )

Daystar seems to be the best for a spacer lift, but most of us run a full suspention lift, Rusty's or Frankenlift

200 vs 650, that's why I went with the 2.5" Daystar & Skyjacker shocks. I don't wheel as much as some of you guys on here, so the 2.5" Daystar made sense. It rides great, looks great and my wallet isn't as light.

Thats why I asked about the poly lift from skyjacker . It's not too pricey and not looking to go much more than 2.5" lift possibly 3" plus I'm not a big off roader just looking to for some bigger tires and basically lift it for looks right now. It's my daily and I cant afford to be breaking stuff offroading, but thanks for the input so far it's bringing new light to the lift possibilities

Another question too how does lifting the vehicle whether it be 2.5" or 3.5" affect the wear and tear on CV's and axles and such steering components. I'm new to this Jeep craze I was a VW guy before I bought my first Liberty and I'm used to going down with suspension upgrades. The object of lifting a vehicle is new to me

it can tear them up but if you dont go past 3" you should be fine

if it's going to be just a daily driver you should be fine for awhile

if you go offroading alot it'll wear stuff out quickly
