Rear bumpstops are 2 hockey pucks per side bolted down to the lower spring perch. Drill hole n center of spring perch before installing new springs, install the spring then reach through and install the hockey pucks. This is addition to the stock bumpstops, front use Teraflex bumpstops

When I first read that i would be using hockey pucks I was like uhh, and then I saw a picture on another thread on this website and that actually makes a lot of sense to me. I will get teraflex bumpstops for the front, but for the new rear bumpstops, the actual bumpstops need to be replaced, would the crown automotive stock hight ones work best?

OME 927 front springs
OME 948 rear springs
Bilstein shocks for the front
Teraflex front bumpstops (exact ones?)
Crown automotive rear bumpstops
Two hockey pucks on either side for rear bumpstops also

And best place to buy these?

You need to use the stock bumpstops PLUS the hockey pucks , one without the other would be worthless and blow the rear shocks
for every inch of lift you need an inch more bumpstop

Junk, not a real lift
but if you like to waste money, go for it, will look good for a couple of months

ONLY ONE worth doing now is the OME, period

Not trying to be a jerk, but have removed almost every brand of spacer lift out there, including RC, would not give you a nickle for a whole truck load.

I've done 60 or more Liberty lifts 98% of them have been OME with either Bistein or OME shocks , rest of the lifts were jeepinbyal adjustable coilover lifts or other brands customers talked me into installing like Rustys etc that had to be removed.
I've personally ran an OME lift for 100,000 miles before switching over , they ride and handle better than new stock.
My 04 I bought brand new, had a OME lift on it before it had 20,000 miles on it due to terrible ride and handling

2003 Liberty here ...So I’m stalling my OME springs with bilstein Struts right this minute but Jesus how much I have to compress the spring there is no way Or some how to pull the steam of the strut to make it easier ? Thank you

I took mine to a shop and had them do it. They only charged me one hour labor. Well worth it, don't hurt yourself.
