Sorry for the wait guys...

I have been tied down in the Middle East all week for business and I would have to spend too much time on the phone with the wife if she installed it :lol:

I am heading back tonight so in 16 hours hopefully the last of the parts i have been waiting on (Shocks) have come in. If not that will hold me up.

I also put some KK tow hooks on i bought off of Digger before i left.

Where do people usually pull before and after measurments from on KK's?

Before and after measurements should be taken on each wheel - middle of the hub to fender.

Any update on this? I know they get a lot of crap around here but have you thought about contacting RRO for spacers? I was thinking about getting a few parts from them to follow along this lift and kind of piece the rest together myself.

Sorry for the absence, we had some pretty crazy busy weeks and i wasnt able to get to everything.

We just moved into a new house so everything was packed up and we are waiting on the movers to deliver everything this week.

Not sure how much free time i will have for this during the unpacking, but rest assured i want to get it done.

I run the 265 70-16 Treadwright MTR's on my WJ and plan on the 245 75-16's on the KK after I finally get the RK lift on. I haven't had anything but good luck with them on the WJ for about 10k miles now. Yes they are loud, but after 2 winters, I can attest that nothing has stopped them yet. No sway issues either due to rubber compound, I can hang the corners faster now than before the 3" lift and stock tires.

I will probably go with the AT tire from Treadwright on the KK as the old lady drives that one and likes to hear her stereo.

Yes i have no complaints either as i said before. no sway. youll have the same set up as me= 3.5" rk lift and 245/75/16 treadwright mtrs. best way to go, besides spending CRAZYYYY amounts of money on the JBA 4" lift....

The rule of owning a Jeep: When you hear noises, turn the stereo up. I've learn to do that in the Libby and the Rubi. Makes life SOOOOOOOO much easier :pepper: :ROTFL:

Well ladies and gentlemen, i have been holding off on this install and now I am glad I did. GELCO (GE Fleet Leasing) who handles our company cars have just canceled the Libertys for next year as company cars and have started buying them back from Emerson. This means i wont have a liberty for much longer :evil: because I am not going to buy this car for my personal use.

I will be putting the springs up for sale for what i paid for them from Dirk at 350 shipped in the classifieds section. They are still in their boxes.
