Post subject:  KJ owner from Quebec new on the forum
I've decided to join the forum to be able to discuss with poeple here. I use this forum a lot for DIY jobs.

I own a 2002 Liberty for about 1 year now and I have started this summer to start to modify it. First thing I want to do is lift it to put bigger tires on it (who doesn't want it ;p)(had a great deal on Goodyear Wrangler Territory 245-75-R16 tires).
I have put them on the KJ to see what would happen, I had to hammer the ''pinch weld'' or else I would have rubbing...and I am now modifing the ''inner fenders''... but it will be much better with a lift.

What would be the best lift?
Thanks for the answers

Jessy

Before you start hacking away the inner fenders get a good lift
1000's of discussions on here about lifts and whats best
Just stay away from spacer style lifts
check out jeepinbyal who has lifts from Ironman or OME full spring lifts from 775-on up to the ultimate

So you are not for the Daystar lift...? I have read some good comments on those lifts... The difference between spacers lift and others lifts is that much noticeable? Are the advantages and disavantages one versus others written somewhere on the forum?

Thanks!

On an olser KJ a spacer lift is not good at all. Springs are already sagging and needing replaced only thing is a full spring lift . There is no comparison between a spacer lift and used springs and a complete spring lift. 1000 times better.
You'll see where people have tried to run a spacer lift only to swap it out in 2 or 3 months due to the ride etc
Save your money and do it right the first time

Thanks for the answer Tom, I'm going to read about different complete lift to try to see what fits most my need! I'll save my money and probably lift the KJ next autumn. I'll stay with the Wrangler tires and accept a little bit of rubbing this spring and winter (may be I'll be able to do the lift before, I hope).
