When you're right, you're right. I wouldn't call it obstinate but rather knowledgeable. When I first saw this forum after buying the Libby for the daughter, you pointed me in the right direction for the lift/suspension even when I didn't want to lift too high. Trusted you and Bob, and who...

Thermally scorched pads help.

Well, I took it in for the second alignment after putting around 660 miles on it. Driver's side toe was just out of spec, but the rest was good still. It's settling in well, and the steering seems much better. Appears I now don't have to add maple syrup to the steering pump. The OME setup...

No need to take them all apart. Jack up the vehicle, remove the tire and check the rotors with something like this one from Harbor Freight.

Thought so when I read the ad again. I wasn't sure that the moabs with wider tires would fit well with the springs I used. It actually added more lift than I wanted for her leading to the nerf bar request. I may address this more when the lift has had time to settle in some. Does it ever...

And in addition to the nerf bars, she's gonna make me put this on the back of it. Only my baby girl could get away with doing this to one of the vehicles in my driveway ...:shrug: How am I supposed to ride around with her with this? :happy175:

Aftermarket FOB? If so, it simply may not work. I just encountered the same thing. You may have to go OE which is pricey, but they can be found a little cheaper online than at the local dealer. Dealers must run into this all of the time. When I took it in, the guy indicated as much when...

Guess not. Ad says 17x7.5 but 5x5 bolt pattern?

:favorites68: The tires are new. Did see today that these are available not too terribly far from me. Are these the Rubicon wheels I've seen mentioned here? I'm not sure if they would fit and take larger tires and not sure I'm ready to replace yet again.

Perhaps a pint of Guiness added to the rack might calm her down. Sounds like a party ... :happy175: Since I'm on 235/65R/17, would a steering stabilizer help? What would you recommend? I've never used/installed one before. In fact, I've never had a problem with steering being too...

Sorry about that. Signature added. It's full OME 926/947 with JBA 4.5. The caster angle seemed to be too much, but the tire shop listed the specs as 3.4-4.4. I kept reading where others had too little caster, but mine appears to be the opposite with the opposite problem in steering. I...

I know. I told her next it would be bigger rims and more new tires and then regearing ... I don't think so. I'm plenty deep into this one for now. She said she was waiting for me to finish it up so that I could get her another vehicle. :favorites68:

I asked my wife how she liked the handling of the Liberty after the lift, and she likes it but mentioned something that I have noticed with it also. I believe it did it some before but it is certainly obvious now. The steering seems too responsive. I'm not sure if it could be an alignment or...

That one at Amazon is one that I had looked at, except for this for my year: https://www.amazon.com/APS-NB-J3081S-Mirror-Polished-Liberty/dp/B00F0M617O/ref=sr_1_8/160-5489122-1842905?ie=UTF8&qid=1476403315&sr=8-8&keywords=jeep+liberty+nerf+bars After researching them, I'm leaning toward this...

Well, the full OME 1.5 lift is now done with the JBA UCA's. As I figured, my daughter has now requested nerf bars to assist her in getting in and out of it. Anyone have any suggestions? I don't believe I'll likely go Mopar on this one. I've seen a few on Amazon and Ebay that I'm looking at...
