Hey im new to this, and im sure this is a dumb question, but what all do I need to do to be able to put 32 inch or 33 inch tires on my 04 liberty? Or what would you recommend I go with? And I have done some searching and haven't found much. Sorry if this is at all an inconvenience.

search more
Tons of info on lifts and what fits what doesn't
But for 32s
need a good full spring lift in the 3.5 to 4 inch range
then regear to 4.10s
then you can get tires
For 33s more lift, 6 inch from jeepinbyal, would also do a steel front diff from him as well with 4.56 gears

How deep are your pockets?
Most go with a good OME full spring lift and 245-75-16s , can run stock gearing
lift is 750/800 and you're good to go

Of course some will come on and say just hack away the fenders etc but it depends on how you want the finished product to be

Ok thanks that helps! And I will keep looking. But I will probably go with the ome lift, I just wanted to know.

Just for reference I spent $2400 between a lift and tires and am not able to run 32's. 245/75/16's here.

Post subject:  Re: dumb question

and I spent less than 1300 on lift and tires and run 32s so whats your point ? :ROTFL:
But then I also had to regear

Don't want people thinking they have to spend 2400 for a lift and tires

$1300 isn't bad at all! And a regear isn't a problem at all. Is your lift in your sig?

I also wheel and deal a lot for the best possible prices and parts
I have a 1000 dollar lift that I put together for much less
My front diff with 4.10s I paid less for the front diff than some spend on one meal when eating out and other good deals
So if you are willing to shop around, wait for deals etc it can be done cheaper
My first OME lift was on 100,000 miles, and I'm at 45,000 on my second lift
mine at the moment, changing soon possibly

Man your jeep looks awesome!!! How is the rough country 3 inch lift? I haven't read anything about people having it. Most have ome.

Rough Country is one of the worst ones out there
any type of spacer lift is pretty useless unless you have a brand new vehicle and the springs are good
Once they start to sag only way to get a good lift with a good ride is from a full spring lift like OME
Others make spring lifts but their spring rates are same as stock and will sag quickly
