what kind of lift are you running if you don't mind me asking? I have a 3 inch RC lift on mine running 265/70r16 and rub s when I offroad. I don't want to stiffen the suspension unless absolutely necessary. I dont mind trimming plastic or metal either since I use it primarily offroad as a trail vehicle/overlanding. any advice would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

Tom, came across this while digging through ancient KJ stuff on Jeep Forum. Wondering if you have any information on the suspension setup on that black KJ behind yours. I believe in later posts you said it belonged to a friend of yours. Thanks either way!

I’m planning on lifting my liberty 3inchs will anything need to be extended besides the bump stops on the front and rear ?

Hi tommudd
I'm new to the forum and would like to know if you have any pictures of your liberty? Thanks

my car jeep liberty kk 2008, i can't found the cabin air filter. very bad air inlet during A/C using.

Hello, I have an 05 KJ looking to do an OME lift, some spacers, ARB rear locker, full skid row armor underneath, and 235/75r16 tires. Will I need a regear with this added weight? Thanks.

hello haven't been on in a while I hve a 2004 libby lifted 3" you sent me the alignment specs once before could you please resend them to me thanks

I have a 02 limited 4wd with factory skids all around, feels heavy. Am adding ARB with winch, which OME front coils would you recommend as I'm getting all new ones and shocks. Thanks.

Just saw some random stuff about your 04, did someone steal it? Hate to hear that if its true!

What do you think of these?

I saw your post from a few days ago saying this size looked best on stock wheels. ;)

Just saw your post about being done with building KJ's. Where will my inspiration come from...? ;)

I'm so pissed that someone did that to the Kili. If your stuff starts showing up on Craigslist or something down that way it might be time to sic the Hatfields or McCoys or local militia on them.

You have another vehicle in mind for future projects?

Tom I need help locating the rear diff breather location... Please help! Is it the hose that goes into the block with all the brake line going to it?

Hi Tom,
Got my jeep back from the shop today Lift installed gears installed it i looking good. It is having an issue with the brake hoses I got the extended hoses from JBA because the hose on my Jeep were the wrong hoses looked like some slapped on any old hose to get rid of the jeep but they put the new hoses on and noticed they rub on the control arms in the front. they adjusted as best as they could asked me to talk to someone with more experience with Liberty. Is there anything I can do to keep the hoses from rubbing the control arms I don't want the jeep to lose brakes . Also do you know if there any heim joints I can use to replace the tie rod ends? Thanks for your help.

Roof Rack? You have one? If so how deep are the sides? I'm in the process of building one, to include a roof mounted spare carrier.

Please feel free to contribute to thread I've started in "Fabrication" sub-forum.

Thanks,

Bob

Just visited to say thank you so much for your help! You've answered so many questions of mine.

Hey Tom I've been trying to find a Write-up, or DIY on how to install the TM 3.5 Econo Lift. I just recently bought mine but the instructions it came with have stains on it and hard to read. Any links for the install would be greatly appreciated!

Sorry to be a such a nag but Ive done alot of reading and you seem to know your stuff compared to others! What all comes in the Econo kit? What kind of issues will i run into with all that extra stuff, id honestly like to go as high as possible without the JBA Coils. I feel like i read in other fourms people running a similar setup. I also test fitted my cousins Pro Comp wheels with 3.75" back spacing n had no caliper issues, is that a good indication that with 4-5" of back spacing the same rims should fit. Lastly what tire would you recommend in a 32" over the intercos for mud terrain. If you can include or show me to a fender trimming add that would be of great help too. Thanks for all your wisdom and knowledge Tom!

Hey Tom if run the Tommudd Econo 3.5 lift kit with Heavy Duty springs 1/4" JBA strut spring rings, 1/4" JBA upper strut plate, 0.5 JBA clevis spacer, & 2 rear JBA coil isolators per side, plus 4.10 gears. Could i run Interco truxs mt or tsl Radials in a 32x10.5x15 tire? Why Interco, looking for the most aggresive mud radial, not concerned with road noise only performance more in mud than in rain or snow... Also my cousin runs Pro Comp 15x8 rims with 3.75 back spacing/-19 offseton his XJ... Can i run that size or do you recomment a 15x7 with the same offset?

Hi Tom,

I ran the Rubicon this past weekend in my 2004 Liberty. 1/3 of the way into the trail my front came down hard off a boulder and it hit on the front axle housing about 1-1/2" to the passenger side of the pumpkin. The housing broke clean through into 2 pieces, just like it had been cut with a saw. There are no jagged edges or broken bits; my axle tube just looks like 2 lengths of aluminum tubing butted together but not joined.

My diff lube was rapidly lost but since the CV axle shaft running inside the housing was not harmed, I sealed the gap with rubber tape, added oil and was able to complete the trail and drive home. The rig wheels and drives normally.

1) Have you seen this type of break before in the Dana 30A?

2) Since the break is clean and the 2 pieces can be aligned into place easily, I'm considering welding the pieces back together in place. What do you think?

Thanks,

Paul
