Hi Guys and Gals ! I'm a new member, so I hope I get this right. I would like to lift my 2002 Liberty sport and I think I will use the frankinlift. My question is, what size wheels do I need, what backspacing etc. Also , what is the biggest tire I can run with this lift on my year liberty. Thanks in advance. |

Thanks! Are you using any spacers with that set up? |

Nope....just the stock wheels....no spacers....a little bit of rubbing on the swaybar....but that's par for the course... |

245/75/16 fit great with stock rims, or aftermarket rims, but you can also run 265/75/16 with the stock rims BFG/AT look geat or WRANGLER/MTR. |

Hey Shocker are you running 265/75/16's? What wheels are you using. I should have my lift shortly and I was thing of jumping to the 265 instead of the 245. Are there any major problems with rubbing that a little massage to the pinch weld wouldn't fix. Thanks |

Any of you guys that say there is no rubbing at all.....Bull-Lony You ain't tried hard enough, cause even 245/70's can rub with a 2.5" lift. BS can help in some areas....still gonna rub sometime, somewhere. 
Someone said this: "exept on super tight full loc turns" Sum words wuz missiN: "exept on super tight full loc mall parking lot turns" 
Like SavageSS27 said on rubbing: "but that's par for the course" I'm doing some math (paper) and "real world" test and quickly coming to the conclusion that with a 2.5" lift, Longer rear shocks, Stock Back Spacing, acceptable rub, HP loss, milage issues, stuffing ability, gearing change, roll stability (COG), & height gain, that the 255/70-16 could be the best tire choice for maximum ability. Still gonna rub
Hey, I wasted my money on 245/70's....I mean they are only a hair over stock tires. |

Ronin, if you use the stock rims from the liberty you should'nt have any problems running 265/75/16, it rubs a bit, but a little trim will do the trick. If you change the rim size you might run into some problems like I did. |
