I posted this in the pictures of your heep forum, but thought I'd post it here too since I'm local :)

Finally got my lift installed! 4 Wheelers Supply in Phoenix installed it and did a great job. It's an OME 2.5" lift with HD front springs and MD rear. Here is a picture of it next to a stock Liberty. Before the lift I sat a little lower than her. I forgot to measure the pinch welds so I'm not sure exactly how much lift I got.

Hey, did I see it there yesterday? I had my locker installed by them and seen a Liberty like yours there when I got back from lunch while I was paying out the work order.

Probably. I have a big flag on the back. I picked it up around 11:30. :)

Thanks Signcutter :D

:lol: :lol: Can't wait to run lower Raw Deal again :shock:

I got my new tires installed tonight! They've been at work for a week waiting for me to get the lift on. I'll take pictures tomorrow when I go break it in :shock: I'll probably be playing around at Butcher Jones, Cove 3 if anyone wants to come out. I work till 11AM so it'll be in the afternoon sometime.

That is hilarious :lol: I didn't see another KJ in the shop or I would have looked around :) I was dressed up cuz I came from work, blue dress shirt and slacks. What locker did you get? Front and rear? I need lockers but that will have to wait a long time. I'm doin skids, rockers and maybe disco's before anything else.

I took it out wheelin today at Butcher Jones. It's a whole new animal with the lift and tires :shock:

They must have took it out on a test drive at that time. Oh well, catch you next trip. By the way, I Got a No-Slip for the rear only. After the warranty covered the front even after the Truetrac was in, I don't want to press my luck again till the warranty goes out.

Hmm....I just read some stuff about that Powertrax no-slip locker and for the price I'm really liking it. Might get one down the road :D Let me know how you like it.

Recommend the No Slip too. Had mine in for around 5 years. (??) Has worked like a charm. 2mopar, that's great that they covered the front end.
