| Post subject: | Rear Shock Leak, Rotor, front hitch questions, 2007 Liberty |
New to forum, hello everyone. 2007 Jeep Liberty Sport 3.7L I went to local tire place who does free rotations (from purchasing some Dueler A/Ts in past) and they claimed my rotors were scratched too deep to fix and I needed new rotors, took them to a friends shop and the mechanic said the rotors were fine, but they have the internal emergency brake pieces inside and taking them off can sometimes be more problems then you started with. He changed the pads and only charged $70, but I would like to get the rear rotors changed out soon anyways.... Any suggestions on a brand/type of rear rotor and are there special instructions involved? For light off roading, does slotted/drilled have any pros and cons? Also, one of my rear shocks is leaking, and I eventually want to lift the jeep with the Frankenlift kit, but I can't drop over $1000 anytime soon.... I'd like to purchase 2 rear shocks, which can be used when I lift the jeep, do I need new springs as well if I get the shocks used in a lift? Input on this would be nice as well, I don't mind a little rougher ride then stock but don't want it to feel like i'm in a dropped honda either lol! I had the OME shocks in mind, but heard wonderful things about Blistein and Rancho I know the front hitch has been discontinued for the jeep liberty, has anyone found one that will work with minor modifications? I want tow hooks but figure a front tow hitch will kill two birds with one stone, 1) a good recovery point, and 2) a place to mount up my fishing pole holder, considering there isn't a good place to mount it.. Thanks for any and all info included!! |

NAPA has good rotors Drilled won't help you much at all You can't run extended length shocks without lifting When lifted properly with OME springs and Rancho / Bilstein or OME shocks all around it will not ride rougher. Mine rides way better and handles better now than it did stock. Cruising down the interstate its like a Caddy

NAPA has good everything! lol, I enjoy there stuff... I guess that's not a bad idea, I seen some highly rated stuff on the autoanything type websites, wasn't sure if someone had input specific to Liberty.. I think the OME 134 shocks can be used with stock springs, might just do it that way... Maybe just save up for a frankenlift kit  thanks for reply |

OME 132s can be used with stock as they are stock length, OME 132Ls are the ones for a lifted KJ |
