i was wondering if anyone had experience with the tommudd econo lift? i wanted to go with the jeepin by al 4" but at 3300 for the most basic 4" i dont think i could swing that with bigger tires. i want to get 32s on the liberty so if anyone knows another company that makes anything at a decent price thatd be cool too. |

Wait till you see what it cost to regear to regain some power to turn those 32's! Best bet is stick w 245/75/16 (~30.5") and go with either the ome lift (the 927s/731s give almost 3"), Mudd's lift or JBA |

Also OME springs with Bilsteins works well too. Thats what I'm running and love it. |

yeah i didnt think about that... thanks for the advice. would power be the only thing affected by putting 32s on there? or are there other things that go wrong without a re gearing? |

A lot. Tranny works harder so it heats up and has a quicker death Sent from my Home Phone using Tapatalk |

Running 32s and stock gearing will knock about 5-6 MPGs off at least Then like mentioned will run hotter since the transmission is working harder trying to flip back and forth between gears Of course that leads to being harder on the transmission itself Power on hills or even small grades makes it difficult to maintain an even speed even on Interstates The list can go on, but its one of those cans of worms that some open, other take a look at the label and shy away As far as to what kit to buy it all depends on what you have to spend and the height you want to go. I will tell you after running two different OME setups/ The Ironman setup for a while and now the adjustable coilovers, all I can say is " I love the coil-overs for the ride and adjust-ability of them" But the OME or Ironman both ride and handle a 100 times better than stock |
