Hey, nice lift.

I did mine as a single and it twernt so bad with the 4WD and SUV Frankenlift article as a guide. Need a big crowbar and a big philips screwdriver to manage the clevis.

I jusdt drove mine and it broke in just fine without any harsh stuff going on. First real tough exercise was the Tucson run and they worked unreal.

Man that does look good! I have OME HD springs/ Rancho struts laying in the garage waiting, now after seeing this maybe I should do mine this weekend instead of going to see my poor Mother for Mothers day! :lol: :lol:
But then not looking forward to doing it all by myself if it is 6 to 8 hours! But it does look like a KJ should. I have to get mine done before the Fathers Day Show at the Jeep plant here in Toledo just to show them what every Liberty that comes out the door should look like!

They are all the same once you remove the factory suspension parts.

Read this, it should help clarify what I'm saying:

He is too correct. Only spacers lifts yield different lift heights on '02s because their springs are 1" longer

Mutt, the KJ looks great! Did you get the front end aligned yet? If so were they able to bring it back into spec? Great job on the lift. :D

The wife took the Liberty today and had the alignment done. Nope, it's not in factory specs but he got it as close as he could. Mechanic also pointed out the extreme stress the CVs were under, whatever.

Did you just rip out the wheel linings?

"Rip out", is such a strong term. :roll:

I gently removed the plastic rivet thingies and then coaxed the liners out with the utmost loving care and patience.

Yeah, I ripped 'em out.

It looks great! I cant wait to lift mine. :twisted: Are you planning on relocating the washer bottle? Im thinking of removing my liner and adding some abs plastic to extend it and gently reinstalling it.

I've not yet decided if I'm going to move the washer bottle or not. When I put a tire on it, then I'll move it.
