Any of you Liberty pros care to look at the set up I am considering?

After much research I think I have finally come up with my plan to put a few inches under my Liberty. so here goes.

Tommudd's Econo 3.5" Lift KJ Front Struts

Either the JBA 4" rear springs, or OME2948 KJ REAR HEAVY DUTY

Monroe 58649 Sensa-Trac Load Adjusting Shock Absorber

Y Link Extension for 2.5" - 4" lifts

Plus Moog lower ball joints, bump stops, and all new bushings.

I am mostly worried about the rear spring setup. which springs will give me a more level ride with the 3.5 up front?

I also know the sensa track coil over shocks seem like overkill in the rear but I do a lot of hauling with a trailer so that is to compensate for the added weight.

Thanks.
John

With the 4 inch rear springs you'll have quite a bit of rake depending on which clevis you use.
I'd do a .500 clevis, 948 rear springs with two extra upper isolators, should settle in to be pretty much level. Of course the rear shocks will throw a curve ball in there

Are you planning on using moog bump stops? Hopefully not moog stock in the front with a lift and hopefully hockey pucks in the rear.

Nope just the Moog joints, Terraflex bump stops up front and either hockey pucks or JBA bump stops in the rear.

Tom:

I have probably answered this myself already, but the difference in lift caused by the coil over shocks can be compensated for with the isolators. Sorry to sound like a newb (just new to liberties) I just want to get it right or at least close enough to fix, to right the first time.

Sensatracs would not be my first choice. The shocks themselves depend on ride height being at OE spec to work as designed. Reflex shocks work differently and aren't dependent on ride height.
