None of that. Go to jeepinbyal.com
In the kj/kk section you'll see lift kit category. Thats where you need to be.

2003-2006 Jeep KJ Liberty 3 Suspension Lift Kit - 692S | $299.95

It really is as simple as you get what you pay for...

I have no personal experience with it/them ... but the general consensus is save your money and do it right.

I may be wrong but I'm pretty sure you get nothing new for the front with that kit.... just aluminum spacers to hasten the destruction of your already worn springs

Under-the-Top strut cap and spacers for 3" leveling lift in front. NOT GOOD
Old Man Emu or Heavy Duty GR2 front strut shocks.
Custom full height rear springs. OWN DESIGN NOT GOOD
Rocky Road engineered rear shocks OWN DESIGN NOT GOOD
Optional pre-assembly of the front struts.
INSANE ARMS upper A-arm control arms CHEAP COPY OF JBA'S NOT GOOD
INSANE ARMS optional bumpstop extensions. NOT GOOD

So good parts are the front OME coils and the front shocks if buying OME
rest........................:signs8:

Your KJ is over 6 years old, springs and shocks are weak already, this would be a bandaid repair. Would work for a very short time

Let me add this, something to think about,
Lot of us have been on these forums for 8-10 years now, we've seen every lift there is, we've read and heard the results of what all of the different lifts have done, some of us have done a bunch of lifts, we know what works, what doesn't, what will give you lift, better ride, better handling etc .
So when we mention that this works great, its from years of first hand experience and knowledge

Ok, thank you.

so then from some one who knows whats good and what isnt.. What should i order? I'm looking to get 2.5 to 3 inches of lift. now i know people are saying Ironman and OME or the JeepinByAl.. But when it comes down to it i have know idea what im doing right now and reading the lift form confused me even more. So i guess what im looking for is for someone to just tell me what i should order..

It's not surprising to me any more to see the same advice being given over and over in different threads.... but now it's happening in just one! :happy175:

Luke said:
these are the lifts you should be looking at for the lowest cost ...

Econo Lift Kits for the KJ

or the OME's for a few bucks more

tommudd said:
KJ Ironman 1.5" spring lift kit HD
$711.70
which actually gives you more than 1.5 inches
Econo 3.5" Lift Kit KJ
$1,355.69
includes everything including UCAs etc
and then on up as has been mentioned

yes but bc there were so many different opinions and different lifts i didnt know which one to pick.. ome, ironman, econo, and at first i though that jeepinbyal was a whole other brand.. so im sorry but i got confused

Not really that many
We have the Frankenlift from AllJs
then JeepinByAl sells OME/Ironman springs and shocks
he also has his own line of Premium lifts
and an Econo line that has everything you need that I helped him put together
Now with the OME and Ironman you can add extras to give you 1.25 inches more lift
So there in one short paragraph
Now for that horse
:beatdeadhorse5:and I'm :driver:

That wasn't directed at you my young friend

We were all in the same boat once upon a time ... :boxed:

Once you take the front suspension apart a couple times everything is straight forward...

Uncle Krusty · Feb 6, 2013

I too spend a good amount of time reading everyone's opinions before dropping the hammer on some OME springs for my lift three or more years ago - never regretted it.

Done once - done right.

Lots of experience here as well as good advice.

Need some advise on what to do next...
