I picked up this little darling in San Diego a couple weeks ago with 78k on the odo. Already ordered a 2.5 lift, black MB TKO wheels, and BF T/A K02 tires. Hope to post "after" shot soon!

I've actually got a package in the mail once that shipped from California, but had a postmark from Ontario, Canada. They didn't make me pay the extra shipping!

I'm expecting my 2.5 Rancho lift kit with new springs and shocks/struts to come in tomorrow... 4 Wheels Unlimited in Pomona going to strap it all in for me early next week (not soon enough for me!). My 16" MB wheels and 31" BF Goodrich KO2's are already waiting for me at the tire shop, once the the lift is in. That brings me up to my wife-enforced budget limit... for now. I love that ARB Bull bar, but pretty spendy... if anyone body thrashes their Liberty and wants to sell theirs, let me know!

Rancho lift ???? Rancho doesn't make a lift for the Liberty unless they started last week :shrug:
Better do some checking on what you are getting just to be sure they know what you have
Also Skyjacker/ Rustys are ones to stay away from as well and any spacer lifts
OME/ Ironman and JBA coilovers are the only true options you have
With that size tires, regear is next I would say

Sorry not being a jerk, just truthful, done a lot of these KJs and pretty much know whats out there and what works/ what doesn't and why

Kit comes with Rancho shocks, so I jumped/conclusion. Thanks for the heads up, I'll check into that. What's the issue with Skyjacker/Rusty's? I knew there was a good reason to join this forum! A re-gear is on the priority list. I destroyed the ****** on my last 4X4 by neglecting that. Though in all fairness it was a long time ago, and I pretty much destroyed everything on that one.

Stock spring rate is 310 lb on the fronts, Skyjacker and Rustys are rated the same and sag quickly
OME 927 front springs for example which 99 % use are rated at 400 lb

Rancho used to have a great line of shocks that worked great for the KJ, but they did away with the RSX'x and now just have their cheaper line which is not nearly as good

Well then turns out I messed up. I got a Skyjacker setup. I'll use them till they give way, and replace them with EMU when i need to. Thanks for the input, I really appreciate it. Regret we didn't talk earlier. I'll post a new pict once it's all in place!

Mud, the recipe:

-Water, normally from rain
-Sand or dirt, ideally dirt.

You can get water from melting snow, which will be hard to find in your area I guess ;)
