Gotta lift!!

Finally got my lift installed! 4 Wheelers Supply in Phoenix installed it and did a great job. It's an OME 2.5" lift with HD front springs and MD rear. Here is a picture of it next to a stock Liberty. Before the lift I sat a little lower than her. I forgot to measure the pinch welds so I'm not sure exactly how much lift I got.

most people who don't carry a lot of tools or stuff in the back only need the Med rears otherwise the rear susp is too stiff and tends to bounce around alot instead of actually absorbing bumps.

That, plus they didn't have any HD rear springs in stock

I was trying to get the lift in time to run Crown King last weekend so I took whatever they had in stock.

BTW, I still have all the stock suspension components if anyone wants to buy them, and a pair of daystar rear bump stops

not really I have the HD and all I have in the back is my spare, but I am one who would rather overkill something than not do enough.

A man can wait

I wish I had the HD for the rear, but it's ok. I might swap them out down the road, who knows.
