Go with OME (Old Man Emu) or JBA (Jeepin' by Al). OME is priced at $750 and is advertised to give 1.5", but alot of people here have gotten closer to around 2" of lift. JBA makes a 2.5" or a 4" lift for the liberty KK. JBA's lifts are a little more expensive at $1,500 for the 2.5" and $3,000 for the 4". However, JBA does carry a $900 2.5" kit but is only a spring lift. You can find all of these here... http://jeepinbyal.com/cat-Jeep_Liberty_KK_(2008_plus)-64.aspx |

you could go with a daystar 2" spacer lift for 159.00 but it will wear out you're Oem springs prematurely. It would be best to just save the money and do it right the first time, most members on here will tell you that from experience. |

OME SPRING AND SHOCK LIFT DONT DO A SPACER LIFT NOT WORTH THE AGGRAVATION ! |

^^ what he said ^^ I just replaced my spacer lift with a suspension lift. OME springs and shocks. A also added 2)1/4" spacers on the front and dropped the clevis about 1/4". There is also a 2" spacer on the rear. That gives me just over 3" of lift I think. Don't forget th replace your upper control arms. Jeepin by al has the best in my opinion.

Yes a $3000 complete lift is the way to go but you don't have to spend that to get a good functional lift. I had the Rock Krawler X Factor lift on my 08 Liberty with BDS extended rear shocks and my ride quality was just as good as stock. I also did a lot of off-roading with kit and never had 1 issue with it. The kit worked out great and didn't set me back an arm and leg. |

Do a full spring kit Its the only real way to lift and have a good ride, way better handling and will last a whole lot longer than any spacer style lift Always like the rides just like stock with a spacer lift yes and thats what you do not want, you want a better ride which you will get done the right way |
