New rear shocks.

OME 132L will give you more flex on the rear.

Don't put those on a stock KJ(w/o lift) or you'll be poping the rear springs out and ruining the other sides shock by bottoming it out befor hitting the bumpstop(same problem the OTT front lifts do to the front struts).In other words the OME 132L is to long for a unlifted KJ,you can try the OME 132's,they are about 1/2" longer then the OEM shocks and should work okay on a unlifted KJ.

I do plan to lift it sooner or later so should I hold off on the shocks? As for the sway bar I should remove the rear one right. Is it ok to leave it out or should I put it back when I'm n on the road.

You can take them both off. Most say they think its fine to leave the rear off all the time. You will have to decide for yourself though. The front should come off for low speed offroad use only.

x2, lift it and lose the rear sway bar if you want some good flex. The front can be discoed durin off roadin situations, but NOT on road. I think they might have tried to make some quick discos for the KJ but dont think they were recieved well if i remember...

BennyMigs...I rolled on the Frankenlift for nearly two years and it was like night and day. I and many many others here feel the Frankenlift is the very best lift for the Liberty. It's also relatively inexpensive compared to lifts for Wranglers and full sized trucks. You can get all the information you want (including pricing) from the good folks at All J Products.

I am getting the front strut and coil assy from a guy on here. But I am buying the rear NEW from All J products.

I will take before, during and after of the KJ and post it to you man.
