ok guys i have an 04 liberty sport.i want to make it look better with a small lift nothing crazy.the rustys spacer lift caught my eye because of price and simplicity.i will be adding new tires as well.i dont do much offroading ,just tow my quad to some offroad places.i am however getting more interested in in making the liberty better.i sold my mustang to get a liberty mainly because it is more practical for hauling around my daughter and her stuff.as i look on websites and different pictures of modded liberties ,the bug has bit me.can anyone post the experience with this lift?i know its been covered a million times but i got a headache looking through all the posts.thanks

If your going with spacers, I would suggest Daystar instead of Rustys. The Rusty Spacer kit is similar to the RRO OTT kit abd the installation is an absolute bear.

You can find a nice review of everything you could ever need at http://www.youngs.org/kjparts/

Visit it often :)

I can not speak from personal experience on either but I can tell you the Daystar has a strong KJ following. If I were buying a spacer lift, that is the direction I would go.

I'd stay away from Rusty's Spacer Lift. It is an OTT kit and can very likely cause problems with the upper ball joints and blown struts.

However, Rusty's Coil lift is a great kit for the price.

Also take a look at the Revtek lift and the Rocky-Road Combo lift...both are very good
