I havent been off roading, I drive mostly onroad and just hit the dirt a few times a year so the springs should be fine.

Plus if I wanted a pure offroad machine there are much better options than a liberty, dont get me wrong I love my liberty but everyone knows it.

What I dont think most people realize is normal everyday driving is almost as bad as an occasional trail ride, at least some of the roads in Ohio, springs/shocks wear out on a Caddy just like anything else, I mean a friend of mine just had to replace the springs and shocks on his hearse! Better options than a Liberty, well if you are talking PURE off road trail machine that you have to haul to the trail head then yes thats true, but for something that you can comfortably drive everyday, haul 4 people, take to the country club on Friday night and wheel it on Saturday there are not too many that can top the Liberty IMO!
Build it right and it will last for years, build it cheap and replace stuff every month. I used to sound like the above 30 years ago :wink:

My springs arent under any more stress than before the lift so they will not wear out any faster....
