I just bought a 2.5 inch daystar lift and wanted some opinion's on if I should replace my shock's when I install the kit.My Liberty has 42k on it and they seem fine but didn't know if I should replace them while it is apart.

Are you talkin about the front struts and the rear shocks? The rear shocks will have to be changed, they aint long enuf. So, if you got he money, replace the front struts too. :wink:

The shocks and struts I bought to go with my Daystar 2.5" lift are the Rancho ones. Here are the part numbers.

Struts = Rancho RSX 17505
Shocks = Rancho RSX 17004

Don't forget when you go to do the struts, you are going to need a strut compressor or you'll need to take everything to a place that will assemble them so you can install them.

It's well worth doing them both at the same time. Saves you some time and it's a nice difference with the Ranchos.
