Hey Guys, I know the infinity 6.5s have been the achilles heel of the Infinity System. Rather than try to repair ours with a foam surround kit we've decided to go with an aftermarket solution by Pioneer. Generally when doing these types of installs I try to use the factory harness...

Thanks Tom. I will definitely look into doing the alignment next month after she's up a couple thousand on it. Is there an aftermarket control arm that works better with these kits? The new front shocks seemed really tight in there.

Hey Guys, thanks for the kind words. This is a BDS kit. Came with new coils all around and new rear shocks. I also bought a new pair of front shocks as they were pretty worn at 140k miles. The whole process took me around 12 hours. I had bought new front shocks and had the coils loaded prior...

Took longer than expected (don't they all), but happy with the results. 2.5" of lift, about another half inch from tires.

I didn't say THEY WEREN'T. I said I couldn't find them and asked for a link. Thanks a lot.

But I will take a link to the bumpstops if someone can provide. Could not find them on the jeepinbyal. Need front and rears.

HA! Love getting razzed by the mods. Going with KYBs. Good enough for my YZ250 two-stroke, good enough for me.

OK thanks. Was looking at those or the Ranchos. I'll post pics when it's done, probably be a couple of weeks as I need to find some tires too. My daughter's really going to dig this when it's finished.

Thanks for the input. I will look into the bumpstops for the front. I'm looking at struts now.

Makes sense and I can see why. At first glance I thought they were struts too as they have the preloaded springs and mount to the chassis. I guess the technical term would be coil-over shock though.

Thanks. We're definitely changing out springs and shocks. Likely go with new struts as well.

Hey, appreciate the feedback. We are installing the BDS kit. I was wondering if there was any advantage to replacing the struts. Thanks.

Posted in wrong section. Continuing discussion in the KJ forum.

After weighing the pros and cons we're going with a BDS kit. I noticed the didn't come with struts. I'm assuming we would use the stock struts for the kit. I was wondering if there is any advantage to upgrading the struts. There is 125k on the Liberty so I'm not adverse to buying new ones...

Ahhhh...so this is something I didn't realize. 2-2.5" is really kind of more than I was looking to do......starting to wonder if maybe a spacer lift might be a better way to go.
