Cage makes a lift kit for the KJ? Since when? And you can figure the second question out yourself at http://rustysoffroad.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Store_Code=rustys&Category_Code=sus_kj_kit Anyway, the '155 or so lift' is $ 159 and is an OTT spacer lift. Don't buy it. |

well, I am not really sure on the date that they created it, but it is on the thread that has all the different lifts for libertys. there is a pic of it and the price. Also they have it listed on there web-site. I was just wondering if this lift any good or not. |

if your just wanting a cheap spcaer lift just get the daystar 2.6" for $155 but by the time you do that you could have just spent an extra $200 and done OME HD and be way happier |

Ow got you there ....2.6" lift   ( should be 2.5", but you can't blame the poor guy, typing his fingers blue ..)
You see now JSC, between LOST and JKJ you can type these answers like 5000 times and tomorrow the next guy will ask the same thing. Hmm, guess that's what we're here for, helping fellow KJ'ers out. I recon TOMMUD can now sit back and relax.

Hmm, seems like I'm chasing Joey around giving lift advise but: Clint, stay away from any OTT (over the top, so on top of the strut) spacer lift, if you want a fairly cheap lift get a Daystar 2.5" kit. The complete one with the extended bumpstops etc. As for other inside the strut spacers or clevis extenders or all that crap: don't do it, you'll be sorry later. Trust me, I had to learn it the hard way... 
If you can find the cash go for a coil lift, best one out there is the all OME ( old man emu ) frankenlift by www.boulderbars.com OK, it's a lot of money but your KJ will love you for it! |

Ha ha! Tommud, you should be selling the OME lift. At least then you'd be getting paid for all your countless lift advice. You could call it Tom's muddy lift kit

I've had mine on since May and used his right-up to install it with. The install went well and I love the look and feel of the lift. TonyCRD also has a great right-up on KJCountry, between the two you should have all the info you need to put it on! |

I am trying to decide what lift to go with. i am just about sold on that lift now. was that lift that he installed the $155 lift kit from daystar or something like that. i have only a 2wd liberty and i just want to make it alittle more beefier looking. |

Just remember that you need more than just the 155 dollar lift, new shocks etc are also needed or you at least need the rear, plus replace the fronts while you have it apart |

Don't care if its a two wheel drive or even if you only drive in the back yard, you lift it you need new rear shocks at the very least, the stockers are too short and will top out and BLOW.  Good rear ones are Rancho RSX 17004, Also since yours has a few miles/years on it replace the stock front junkers and upgrade them as well. You will have it torn apart so upgrade it now (front RSX 17505)
you will be glad you did in the end
and it only costs a nickel more to go first class ya know
