looking good, I think 33's could be possible on this lift with enough cutting.

Looks good. I would definitely try to drop the "Rack & Pinion" a bit from the pic...the tie rods look like they are at quite an angle.

The new strut assemblies were installed on my Liberty and tested today ride is like my prototype was and/or maybe softer. Those that got lift kits should be getting replacement parts which will remedy the problem. Looking forward to reviews from Rock Lizard and Tokyojoe!
Joe P.S. My front was a tad shy of 4" this new kit strut assy brought me up an additional 1/2".

would i get the crd kit because i will have a bumper and winch?

Tokyojoe · **Posted:** Tue Feb 05, 2008 1:33 am

NO! The springs are super heavy duty as is. You could add a winch and a dead deer to the front end and still not affect the springs.

so im jealous how mush total would you say this would cost me with install and how big of tires can i fit then w/ front bumper trim maybe a gear swap

Freshmud · **Posted:** Tue Feb 05, 2008 2:06 am

Sounds like she may need softer springs. Is there any talk about changing the front Spring rate? Does she ride like a hay wagon?

Right now, yes. But I am also extended well past my limit at 5.5". I am waiting to get down to Marty's to install the upgrade from Marlin. Joe Jeeper should be able to answer how the ride is now.

Tokyo, Have you posted any pics of yours yet? I've been waiting to see it and don't know if I just missed it or if any are even up yet...

Tokyojoe · **Posted:** Tue Feb 05, 2008 9:35 pm

Go here for the pics.

The ride is Great not hard at all and I gained 1/2" which I needed to level out the rig I was a tad shy. I'm waiting to hear from Tokyojoe when he's made the mod to what will now be the kit strut assy's. Joe

Sounds like you guys are making some great progress. Hopefully Tokyojoe and Rock Lizard will report back soon!

Tokyojoe · **Posted:** Wed Feb 06, 2008 9:37 pm

Might be this Monday. I am off work and can get down there then. Depends if Marty can fit me in.

Any plans tomorrow to update the lift?

Is KJ pilot using setting #1 in the pictures you provided? I'm also looking for a comparison in ride, sway, and how she handles as compared to the Frankenlift II Premium. The pictures look great!

i have mine cut alot...i run a 165/75/16 and have absolutly no rubing!i don't see 33's maybe a 32 swamper will do...that's my plan...i am trying to run the biggest tire w/ the lowest lift possible to keep a good center of gravity...PS a 32 size swamper comes out to really be 32.8"
