Looked for it in the available lifts section and couldn't find or afford.

Didn't see any pictures of a finished product either

Do a search on here for that lift. It has been discussed to no end. It was a complete failure and a total waste of money. It tore everything up! But I believe one guy made it work for him.

Ditto...if your going to spend $3K spend it on this lift:

It's 1 million times better and you can actually drive and off-road with it without fearing for your life.

I think he had to do a SFA to fix his KJ, because the lift ruined everything.

fireblad1 installed that lift. He's the one that had to make tons of mods. It was a mess from the beginning.

It can look pretty as long as you leave it on the trailer.

No.....I'm talking about a seperate 7.5" to 8" lift that is in the works........completely seperate from the 6" lift........EVERYONE with real interest should call JBA and get the low down......HANDS down the 2.5", 4", 6" and possible 7.5/8" will be best lifts for the liberty short of a SFA.......

Why? You can only safely run a 32" tire offroad and maybe a 33" tire for the street,not to mention you can't regear past 4.10's.I'm running 32" tires on 3 3/4" lift,have the 4.10's and it's still a dog,really need 4.56's just to turn those 32" tires and have power.To do a correct IFS lift of 6"+ you'll be spending just about as much as doing a SFA swap,then you can regear for 33"+ tires.

Agree with you completely Troy, no use to get all excited no matter how high they can make a lift if it will be basically unuseable due to limited gearing. 7 inch lift and 32 inch tires would look silly. I guess you could do it and only drive down hill or park at the mall. :wink: :roll: Maybe buy a 2 wheel drive and have a 7 inch lift and 35s ! :?
A new company :wink: needs to come up with a alternative to what we have gearing wise and front diff wise to fully use any higher lifts. So whos going to do it?

I found one with the RK 7 up lift!

I don't see how those tires would work if they started to stuff at all...
