Ok, I'm new to this whole lifted liberty thing. I lifted my 2005 Renegade in the front with an Old Man Emu med. duty spring, OME struts, and steel spacer to equal a 2.5" lift. In the back, I have 2.5" spacers from and old Rocky Road OTT lift. I noticed that the back of my liberty seems lower than the front. I have heard that after 2002, the Jeep made the liberty about 1" lower. I'm thinking they made it lower by putting shorter springs in there? So, if I have new springs in the front, and a 2.5" spacer in the back (with shorter springs since it's "pre-lowered?), would that cause my front end to be higher than the rear? I think I just confused myself, so I hope someone gets it out there!

Thanks

This should clear up the confusion:

"Lowered" refers to DC deciding to lower the liberty. "Pre-Lowered" refers to the time before they made that decision. So "Pre-Lowered" actually means 2002 models that are 1" taller.

The reason your jeep is different front and back is probably just mismatched lift components. When a lift company says it's a 2.5" lift, that's really a vague measurement, especially if you are comparing a spacer to a spring lift. A spacer lift will be a literal measurement (2.5 inches), whereas a spring lift is 2.5 inches taller than some expected prior height, which the lift maker can only guess (since they don't have your liberty).
