Need some advice on lift upgrade.

I need to level out my 02 Liberty a little.

Currently I have:
http://jeepinbyal.com/affiliate-product ... -kit.htmln (Ironman Lift)
Ironman front/rear medium kit with 1/4 top spacers 3/8" clevis in the front, extra upper iso's in the rear.
Right now I sit at 21,21-front, 22,22-rear.
I am running LT215/85R-16 Goodyear Wrangler DuraTrac E for my shoes on Black Rock Lobo 950 16x7 with 4" back space.

My tires rub in the front a little when I turn, and yes I trimmed a lot of the fender liner in the front and pounded the weld in the rear.

One of the latest pics:

Ok, so this is what I am thinking...
I want to get rid of the 1/4" top spacer and 3/8" clevis and install these:
http://www.rustysoffroad.com/rustys-spa ... nt-kj.html (Rusty's 2" top spacers)

I am thinking that these 2" spacers plus my 1.5" Ironman lift will level this vehicle out a little better..

However, it seems that there are a lot of people that hate Rusty's products, so before I go and screw up a lot of suspension components that I spent some $$$ on, I need an advice from you (Tommud) will these spacers F$$$ me up? Or, will they be ok?

Thanks a bunch!

:CAMPING:

Don't install the Rustys in there
You should be higher than what you are with what you have in there
Basically same combination top plate/clevis etc and we were at almost 23
Only 21 inches? You should be about there without anything at all just the springs
thinking .............

Well.. That is puzzling.. I was sitting higher at one point, however after about 9k of driving I am at this point now.

I guess, I don't know what my option is at this point (minus some expensive coilovers).

ETA: I said point too many times.. :-)r

Do you still have the spring numbers that were installed in front
Trying to think why you are where you are
I see the point you are trying to make and am trying to point you in the right direction :dizzy:

The Teraflex lift gives good height in the front with stock struts. I'm at 22" in front, and less in the back. Which makes sense because the front wheel well is taller to begin with.

For a while,.........

Deussne · **Posted:** Sat Jun 29, 2013 9:20 pm

So what's my option here? Buy new springs?

tommudd · **Posted:** Sat Jun 29, 2013 9:23 pm

Not yet
still trying to figure out why you are where you are
Checked with 501 who has the Ironman I had on mine and he's still at 22 3/4 or so

Deussne · **Posted:** Fri Jul 05, 2013 7:35 pm

No luck?

tommudd · **Posted:** Fri Jul 05, 2013 8:34 pm

makes no sense that you didn't get as much lift
Everyone else I've talked to has
Not sure what to tell you at this point
Could try one thing but it would mean tearing down the front suspension again
