I will be installing the following on my liberty, curious to know if front and/or rear bump stops are recommended. Ive also heard I need to relocate some break lines, is that true? Are there any other minor parts that should be ordered (Im not doing the A arms for now)? Finally where does one jack the rear of the vehicle such that the axle will hang enough to remove/replace the rear springs??

Front
1) OME2790 Springs 2) 90009 Strut
Rear
1) OME2948 Springs 2) N132L Long Shocks

AS FAR AS I KNOW, this applies to 2006 only, due to the ABS difference.

YES TERAFLEX FRONT BUMPSTOPS AND YOU CAN USE 2 HOCKEY PUCKS PER SIDE BOLTED DOWN TO THE LOWER SPRING PERCH
REGARDING BRAKELINES YOU CAN MAKE A BRACKET THAT DROPS THE MOUNTING POINT DOWN 2 INCHES, VERY EASY TO MAKE, TAKE 3-4 MINUTES TO MAKE THEM
JACK UP REAR AXLE, PLACE JACKSTANDS IN FRONT OF THE LOWER CONTROL ARMS AND START UNBOLTING SHOCKS, PULLING OUT SPRINGS, DRILLING HOLES FOR BUMPSTOPS , INSTALL NEW SPRINGS, SLIDE THE HOCKEY PUCKS THROUGH AND BOLT THEM DOWN, JACK UP REAR DIFF SOME, INSTALL REAR SHOCKS
20-30 MINUTES TOPS TO DO ( OR MAYBE A BIT MORE FOR NEWBIES lol WE'VE DONE OVER 50 HERE)
JBA UCAs are a great upgrade but not needed until you get past 3 inches, All of the CRDs that I have done here I put them at 3 inches of lift over new stock height with no issues . Just check you UCAs real close before hand to make sure they are ok.

What I ended up having to do on the rear is lift the rear from the trailer hitch and then use the emergency Scissor jack to push the outside of the axle down while swapping the spring. It didn’t hang Low enough on its own.

Both, old rule of lifting, for every inch lifted one inch of bumpstop So its for both bottoming out and rubbing of course doesn't take in wheel width, backspacing , tire sizes so yes you maybe a bit different but overall rule of thumb Example, my 04 , 4inches of lift 265-75-16s on 8 inch wide / 5 inch backspaced wheels I only had to run 2.5 inches, others I lifted for other people had to run 3 inches due to wheels My 03 with 265-70-16s and 8 inch wide wheels 5 inch backspacing , 265-70-16s I can get buy with 1.75 inches bumpstop But I do a lot of testing to see where its going to hit and fit accordingly
