I was looking around for lifts and I found this in the results
http://www.roughcountry.com/jeep-suspen ... t-687.html

Now I know a lift for $99.99 seems a bit sketchy, but the Rough Country brand isn't too bad.

I'm highly considering this since but, other than RRO, any other lift for the KK I can find are $1000s of dollars.
So I'm not gonna use this Liberty for any kind of heavy off roading, rock crawling or anything of that sort because I have a JKU for that.
I'm only looking for ground clearance and to fit like 245s, 255s or 265s underneath, using it for mainly camping and such.

Anyone have any experience, stories, etc with this lift?

ROUGH COUNTRY is one of the very worst lifts out there for the KJ/KK, any spacer lift is for that matter.
Doesn't matter if its never going to be off road, rock crawling or any of that, Spacer lifts just do not work well on a KJ or KK period. They kill springs, kill UBJs etc and ride like total crap.
OME is not 1000 dollars and will give you a better ride and better handling KK than it was brand new. OME 927 front springs and 731 rear ( plus shocks ) will be 800 or so and will give you a honest 2.5 inch lift with nothing else.
Many have tried over the years to " show others " that spacer lifts work and after a month or two are coming back and asking what springs and shocks to use .
Only one way to do it right, full spring lift
check out http://www.jeepinbyal.com for OME springs and Bilstein shocks ( which are a bit cheaper but work well
