| Post subject: | Dealer lifts |
My KJ came with a lift from the dealer when I purchased it brand new. Anyone have any idea on what type of lift I have. Does DCX use a specific lift kit or does the dealer just choose the cheapest thing on the market? |

rocky road claims that dealers have been using there budget lifts for years now, is it a spacer lift or coils and all that good stuff, should be easy to tell ,just my 2 cents |

By the responses here, it could be anything. Schaumbueg Jeep near me uses Rusty's spacer kit I believe. |

Well, what does it look like? If it has red spacers then most likely it is a Daystar. If not, then it could be anything. |

Sounds like it could be anything. Guess you'd have to go ask the dealer next time you drive by. As an aside...... the dealer near me had a brand new lifted 06 Rubicon with a 4" lift & Warn Winch and aftermarket bumper in the show room and large MTR'S - - - I was curious and asked. They told me a shop near by called Rock-Crawler did it. Didn't think to ask what lift it was- - but because it came from the dealer doesn't mean that they actually did it I guess. That's another question to ask them. Check your paperwork also as I would think it should say and they'd have to warranty it.. |

The dealer is standing behind the lift by giving it a full warranty. Other dealers won't touch it, so I have to drive to Salt Lake to have any suspension problems fixed. It kind of a pain because it's around 180 miles round trip. |

D'ambrosio on State in Salt Lake. Just lots of squeeks, rattles, clunks, bangs, crunches etc.. Last time the fixed it I didn't here a squeek or rattle for about a month but since taking adventures to Little Moab and real Moab the demons have returned. So looks like I'll pay a visit to the dealer next week. |

Interesting... I just took my 02 Liberty to the Larry Miller Dealership to look into a possible front differential problem and the service manager said he would never lift a Liberty. He said "Just look at the severe angle of the CV's". He also told me a new set of halfshafts are $1400.00 to replace.  By the way, my lift is a Frankenlift.
