If you're on a budget (everyone is) the ome lift is also a good choice for less money.
The a arms are good to get out of the way now but can be added later.

The ome hd front/md rear with a clevis lift and two extra rear isolators with give about 3" of lift.

Works great, good combination of parts and includes everything but front bumpstops
Designed for those who kept wanting a good priced all in one package
Ride and handling is way better than stock

Jeepinbyal sells it, its 750 for 4 springs and 4 shocks. You'll need longer bumpstops too, teraflex liberty in the front, hockey pucks or Jba's bumpstops in the rear.

There are a few options with the ome lift, 2927 front springs and 2731 rear springs are a good choice. You must get the n132L rear shocks as those are the correct length.

to get 3 inches you'll have to add in either a clevis lift or top plate
other wise with just the OME springs you're at 2.25-2.5 inches of true lift after everything settles in

If I'm correct, the Econo-lift uses Ironman front springs/shocks, rear Jeepin' by Al 4" springs, and Bilstein shocks. It also comes with 1/4" spacer plates, Jeepin' by Al a-arms, and a clevis lift(size depends on which you choose). Am I missing anything or wrong on any part Tom?

If you're the kind of person that wants an affordable kit with pretty much everything then there you have it. Now if you don't mind piecing you're own kit together you can make a similar kit for slightly less. That's what I did with my OME springs and Bilstein shocks. I'm also 99% sure I sit at about the same height.

OME 927/731 springs(front/rear) coupled with Bilstein shocks, 1/4" top plate, 3/8" clevis(go by the conduit nuts from home deport, they're for measurement purposes) Al's a-arms, and 2 extra rear isolators per side(4 extra in total) will basically make the same lift for about the same price, if not slightly less(I think mine was $12-1300 shipped to my door). The OME econo lift is tried and proved by many Liberty owners.

Now that isn't saying Tom's econolift is bad. I have no personal experience with it, but those who have love it. Tom tested the Ironman stuff when it first came state-side. If he didn't think the kit was worth it, I don't think he would agree to put his name on it.
