With that size. Standard BDS or OME would work just fine. I don't think OME would be too tall.

I am going to go with what tommudd suggested, the only question I have is while installing the lift is it a good time to go ahead and replace all the bushings in the vehicle?

Liberty is a 2005 Sport with 97K miles on it.

Thanks, :)

Just use the OME springs and the shocks I suggested,
leave out the clevis in front and the extra top iso in the rear
easy as falling off a log
you'll be fine :wink:

If they need replaced sure but they shouldn't just check everything over real well
Mine has over 152,000 miles ( over 130,000 lifted) and still have all original bushings

One thing though with 97000 on it I would say you'll need to keep watch on you rear u-joints. They have been running at one angle so long that they may need to be replaced. Seen it a few times now.

Thanks for the info, I will check out the bushings really well and just replace the u-joints just to be safe.

Thanks, :)

Ok here is what I'm thinking tom.
Lift you suggested
3 or 4 conduit nuts on the clevis
boiler 3/8 top plate

what do you think? sound like a winner?

JBA has top plates as well if you're ordering from him
