I am now in the lifted KJ club. Man it feel like a different truck, looks awsome too. Will post pics soon. After we did the one side, the other was pretty easy. Two prybars, and a drift make that clevis assy go right in.

A drift? What's a drift? Wish I had one of those when camper and I were wrestling with mine. Can I get one at the hardware store?? hahahaha!

You'd better get those pictures up soon, the rest of us FL boys are getting tired of waiting...

Thanks guys, I got it aligned yesterday for $49 (with coupon at Tires Plus). The guy said, man those Liberties can be lifted? :roll:

I owe this forum a lot. Lots of info about lifts, tire fitment and trimming. This site is awsome!

You should've waited 2-3 weeks before getting your alignment. The lift will settle a little and most likely put you out of alignment.


Your KJ looks great. Welcome to the club (lifted KJ's).

Thanks!
It was pretty tippy driving after the lift. I put 40 miles on it after the install. I figured since it wasn't new springs that it wouldn't settle out much, I dunno.

what was the cheapest you found the daystar lift for.... and is this just a spacer lift, no new coils? My Liberty is identical to yours, and basically that is the exact look i'm going for lift wise. any input/ advice would be much appreciated :lol:

I got it for $219 and free shipping on EBay. It is a 2.5" lift, it has new taller top plates that replaces the stock plates and then pucks for the bottom and pucks for the back. The ride is great.

Did you have any problems installing it? I have a 2inch kit that i am planning on putting on here in awhile. Just wondering how hard it was to get the front pucks in there?

no it wasn't bad at all. I was concerned about how difficult it would be but it was about 5 hours. Mine had the top plates to replace, so the struts had to be disassembled. That took the most time.

Yeah the lift i have you just have to put the plate on the top of the top strut plate. Do you think its possible to actually compress the front springs enough to get a 2" spacer in there?
