Hi everyone, this is my first post, i'm new since i never owned a liberty til last week. I owned a 94 cherokee with a 3'' rough country lift on 31'' BFG All terrains.

I just bought an 03 liberty sport, and i am already looking to lift it, i am looking at different lifts such as Rusty's full coil lift kit and the Rockfather I kit. What are the benefits of lifting and changing all coil springs vs. using something like a daystar coil spacer kit.... I am just looking for the most economical and logical way to make my liberty clear 245 / 75 / 16 Mud terrain wranglers.

Any help is appreciated, thanks

The advantages of the coil lifts are the ride quality and flex/travel/articulation. You get a lot more flex out of putting longer springs in.

As for the 265/75R16, that's about the biggest tire anybody is using on a normal lift kit. I don't know if anyone has tried that with a mudder tire, yet, I've only seel All-Terrain and All-Season. You'll need to do a lot of trimming, you'll probably need spacers or rims with a lower backspacing, and you'll want the tallest lift you can get.

I'll be the first to say "Frankenlift", because that's what everyone else will suggest. I've heard that the skyjacker lift is TOO tall (as in, CV angles are bad), so that's one way of getting enough clearance. If you want a spacer lift, most people seem happy with the Daystar lift.

EDIT: Oops, i read your post wrong. I thought you said you wanted to fit 265/75R16s under there. You should have no problems at all fitting the 245/75R16s with any lift.

I went with Rustys 2.5" coil lift, and I'm getting Revos 245/75/16s Tues. Total is roughly $1300.00. Not to bad.

The rustys and the franken lift are two great lifts. Ive heard some bad things about the Rockfather lift, I wouldnt go that way. 245/75/16's would fit fine with the rustys lift, even better with the franken lift.

I'll suggest you look at the Frankenlift. I've had mine on for a few months now, and have been wheelin' it almost every weekend, and just love it! The only issues I've heard about Rusty's Suspension lift is the springs like to sag after a while, more so than the Frankenlift.

I have a CRD and wish I had the option of an all spring lift at the time of purchase. But you have the choice and I recommend doing it right the first time. Go with the Frankinlift II. It is well worth it. I'm considering getting rid of my lift for the new CRD Frankenlift II with OME struts. DO IT RIGHT THE FIRST TIME...
