Recently bought a 05 liberty only because i couldnt pass the deal up. 3.5k for a liberty with 64k original miles. unbelievable. At first didnt like the thing but its growing on me. I have just lifted it with a 3" suspension lift from RC. Bigger aggressive tire. Now im looking for front brush guard or bull bar. Roof rack ( Bigger tires wont mount on the rear door )... Rough country has nothing for my liberty but a lift.. Where can i buy aftermarket stuff for 05 jeep liberty?
Advice needed!

JUST BEING HONEST HERE,
BUT, you Started out badly there bobby
Sorry to say but RC is the worst way to lift a used Liberty , well any spacer lift is unless you replace the springs and shocks all around, then you end up with as much in that as if you would of done it right with an OME full spring suspension setup. Hate to see people waste their hard earned money on parts that do not work or cause issues
Next bigger tires will fit on the rear tire rack , I ran a 32s hanging back there for a while on my 04 , just flip the tire bracket over
Next only " bull bar " worth installing is the ARB bumper, rest are cosmetics only, doing away with tow points etc
Roof racks, find one you can bolt to the existing bars
How big a tire you running, any over 30-30.5 inches its wise to regear to 4.10s to get back power, mileage and being nice to your transmission
as far as a rack, Rock Lizard made a few back a while ago, nothing else is bolt on

When I rebuilt my ‘04 KJ, I rebuilt the entire front suspension and installed the Rough Country 3” Lift and 31” tires. It looked great but the ride suffered.
It was a nightmare to install and after 50k miles I ripped it out and went back to stock. In that short period, both CV axels had already been replaced twice and the lower ball joints were toast.
Installation was so difficult that the shop I use didn’t even charge any labor to put in new stock components. They hated dealing with it that much.
My conclusion is... don’t do it!
