Stay far away from RK,they have been caught once sending KJ,WK,and XK lifts out with grade 2 hardware.

'Works great'....the question is: For how long...? :(

Extend the clevis that much = kill the front shocks...quick.

I think i am going to go with Rusty's with shocks as my starter lift and upgrade when funds are better.

I don't think you will have any trouble with the RK lift, it is basically a bottom spacer lift rather than on top. The OME clan will bash on spacers all day long. Just get the Teraflex bumstops and that will save your front struts.

Don't go with the Rusty's shocks, pretty much suck and I think that is a unanimous feeling across the board. Go with Rancho.

I am still running the stockers shocks up front with new 3'' lift ones in the rear. It works great. The new cast fork is the lift up front with spacers in the rear. I haven't had any problems at all with this lift. Even fully maxed out the cv's are in good angles still.

WOW!!!! The spacer clan is coming out of the woodwork. I don't feel like the only liberty owner that isn't going to have ome's. This is good stuff.

haha, OME is proven but there are other options.

Heck I am swapping out my rustys spacer I will sell you cheap. All you will need is shocks fo rear and bumpstops for the front. Gave me exactly 2.5" of lift. let me know.

The problem with spacer lifts is you retain the OEM coils which sag at 20,000miles,no way around it they will sag.I looked over a '03 or '04 KJ with the RK 3.5 lift,he barely was getting 2",he was also running 235/85's that where about 1" from the bottoms of the fender flares.

Why spend money on a spacer lift then upgrade later? Kinda wasting money,if you like wasting money please feel free to send some my way,the Gila Monster needs 1350 CV drive shafts 8) .

Hmmm,....OME clan eh?8)

I used to be a Daystar member!

Then Jeepbumm68:

Seems kinda useless, why would you upgrade the springs and keep the x thingy lift?

Throw everything out and fit OME springs. CRD: Front 790/ Rear 948.

(If you really definately want to keep the x lift: fit OME 926 ( stock rating) upfront / 947 rear.)

My stock springs are 3 years old and settled 1/2 inch. All springs will sag eventually just depends on how much use and abuse it gets.
