first what is your budget?
list from low end on up
Daystar 200 plus new rear shocks another 140 roughly
OME springs with Rancho shocks & struts 650
Frankenlift 900/1000

all prices are "in the ball park" but close enough to give you an idea

There are other cheap options but for the time and money the above is all that I would even consider

also what size tires are you wanting to put on, 245-75X16s are a good all around size

245/75/r16 is the size that i have. I was lookingat spring spacer lifts but i have no cule what i am looking at when it comes to lifting. I used to be a import guy so lowering was my deal. I am looking at like 220 for a budget

For $220 you could get the Daystar 2,5" kit. Probably with some longer rear shocks.

Daystar Spacer Lift @ All J's = $155 + s&h

Pair of Rancho RSX17004 rear shocks @ Summit Racing = $60/each x 2 = $120 + s&h

You also have to add the cost of an alignment and if you want someone to separate the coil assembly to install the spacer. Otherwise you will have to rent one from an auto parts store.

I used the Daystar 2½" kit from Jeeperz-creeperz.com http://www.jeeperz-creeperz.com/comfort-ride-lift-p-3972.html?osCsid=1b3478c19d5ff627d3eaaf3a7d594f71 for 159.95+shipping

And some Skyjacker Skyjacker Hydro for a Liberty with a 2½" 825-H7088 for 33.99 each = 67.98+Shipping

So far I love the ride and the look.

I did the Rustys, right around $500. I would order different Rear shocks though, the Rusty's brand that came with the lift were bone dry after 10 months. Total install was 3.5 hours.
