Hi. Two questions. I haven't found anywhere in So Cal that would do something like the 2-3" lift for a 2002 Liberty – nothing fancy that would require new control arms, etc. I've not heard back from the place in Big Bear. Two other guys in So Cal I spoke with used to do the lift, but stopped because it's too different from the other Jeeps they usually work on. Dirty Parts would have farmed out the work to one of those two guys. Any thoughts on who might still be up for it? (My Libby has only ~75k miles on it, so still worth doing the job.)
Second, we have a road trip planned in a few weeks – probably too soon to get the lift done before we leave. But the Libby's suspension has gotten pretty spongy and boat-like, so I'm tempted just to go to a standard shop like Midas(?) and get some new struts put on. Any recommendations on what to get that's good for a little off-road, short of doing an actual lift treatment? Something cheap, but not too cheap. ;-) I don't suppose that any struts we'd get now could be integrated into a near-future lift scheme, because they'd have to be extra long for that... so it's basically an either/or proposition, correct?
Thanks for any enlightenment you might offer,
