Post subject:  New to the forum. Have a question.

Hello all!
My wife has a 2006 liberty limited and SHE wants it lifted! I don't have the funds for a frankenluft or anything fancy. She will never go off road, but will take some tahoe trips.

I want to replace the front springs for sure so should probably do the rear as well. Can I just swap out the springs for now as the shocks and struts are newer. I know they won't have the travel, but won't need it.

Also, I have some 15x8 black steel rims laying around, what tire size would be appropriate for a stock height kj? She needs tires now, but will lift later. Looking at the duratracs or other aggressive tires.

Thank you!!

First welcome to LOST
Second this very question has been answered 1000s of times before
But Ironman at 650/ OME at 750 for springs and shocks is the cheapest you can get really
Both available at jeepinbyal
You have to replace the rear shocks with longer ones so the stockers won't work
Since you have the front broke down the fronts should be changed to better ones also
15X8 wheels depending on backspacing will work but not ideal.
Best is 16X7 with 4 inches of backspacing when lifted
245-75-16 tire biggest you'll want to go as well without regearing , then you'll still lose some power and mileage
