**WARNING** ESP and alignments
How would ESp and alignment be affected by a lift? OK, have a 2007 KJ which very definitely has ESP. I'm planning an OEM lift, but am researching all possible complications. Would a lift further complicate the ESP and alignment issue? Thanks for the heads up and ny comments you can add...- paullgj

OME/Bilstein lift
Which Bilstein shocks for the front? Hi Paul, Which Bilstein shocks did you order for the front? I'm planning an OME lift for my 2007 KJ, but on JBA website I can only find Bilstein shocks for what appear to be stock springs. The rears do say 2" lift. Thanks. Gene Paull...- paullgj

How did you end up with your KJ?
How I went from Chevy K10 to KJ Had a 1995 Chevry Silverado 5 spd Z-71, loved it, a real hot rod, fast and agile. Traded it for a 2004 Silverado v-6, 5 spd. Major mistake - slow, clumsy, a real slug. Wife comes home with a Liberty 2wd automatic. I actually liked it. So, one night, window...- paullgj

My JK Updated...
Will stay with KJ Hi! Thanks for answering back. I've got about 1 yr. left to pay off the KJ, economically it doesn't make sense to through all that away. I still have reservations about doing all that work on the Liberty, but will go ahead. Two really big reasons - (1.) I travel a lot in... -

My JK Updated...
For AZKJ - invest in my KJ or buy a JK? Hi AZKJ, Nice Wrangler you have there. Since you have a KJ, I think you're the person to ask. I'm getting ready to invest maybe $4,000 in my 6 spd 2007 Liberty - lift, UCA, skids, tires, radio etc. Would this be better spent on a new 6 spd Wrangler... -

Need man tires for libby WITHOUT a lift
Goodyear Duratrac sizes From Tirerack: http://www.tirerack.com/tires/Spec.jsp?make=Goodyear&model=Wrangler+DuraTrac&tirePageLocQty= There is a 225/75 x 16 size which will fit an unlifted Liberty. As for myself, I'm saving the pennies for an OME lift, then will go 245/75 x 16 for Duratrac.- paullgj

2.5 inch kj lift
2.5" lift - what I'm doing I can tell you what I'm doing for a 1.5-2.5" lift. First, I want to maintain steering and directional stability as much as possible to the original. I don't want a quick cheap solution to cause driveline/steering/braking problems. Here goes and it is taking me some...- paullgj

Frankenlift or OME 927/Bilsteins?
Mr. Natural says...... Mr. Natural [underground comic guru from the 1960'] says..."Use the right tool for the right job." In this case it means I go with the Frankenlift. A little more lift and assembled struts. Just wish they still used Rancho shocks! End of my incessant questions -...- paullgj

Frankenlift or OME 927/Bilsteins?
Still trying to decide! First, much to my surprise, found a Tip-O-Tex Offroad, just a few miles from my home. He mainly works on Wranglers and large pickups from Mexico, but is willing to do the Liberty. He has modified some Xterra's, but very few Liberty's. First thing he said to me was to...- paullgj

Trobow's Lift
Answers my questions. Hi! This answers my questions in another thread. I am definitely going to go with OME 927 springs and not the Frankenlift/spacers. The reasoning behind this is not to stress the CV's. Thanks for the info. Gene, Brownsville, TX- paullgj

Frankenlift or OME 927/Bilsteins?
Need lift with minimum side efffects, maintain stock steering geometry I'm probably going to go with the 927 coils/OME shocks. I'm looking for the lift with a minimum of side effects - maintain steering geometry, directional stability, alignment, CV joints, etc. Now, two more questions - do I...- paullgj

shocks/struts/springs
Did you have spacers in the shock mounts Hi, Trying to decide whether to go OME/shocks or the complete Frankenlift route. Did you have spacers for the coils? I'm leaning to the OME/shocks as opposed to the Frankenlift as the former probably has less stress on the CV joints. Thanks.- paullgj

Frankenlift or OME 927/Bilsteins?
Hi, still trying to decide how to lift my 2007 KJ. Have read every one of the suspension posts and stickies and I come down to two choices: Frankenlift or OME/Bilsteins. The Frankenlift has the spacers and plates so it's going to give more lift, but I'm a little concerned about stress on the...- paullgj

Suspension shops in South Texas?
Hi, I'm in Brownsville and I'm looking for a good suspension shop somewhere in South Texas. Any recommendations for installation of a Frankenlift and some other underbody parts? Preferably in the Lower Rio Grande Valley, but I'll go to Houston or San Antonio. Thanks. Gene, Brownsville, TX -

Capability of KJ in stock form?
Moab pics are very impressive The Moabs pics are very impressive. Some of the acsents and descents are steeper than what I'll be encountering. What I will have to contend with are long grades, ruts, and lots of broken chunks of limestone - jagged edges. There are two other vehicles going -...- paullgj

I have lots of plans for my KJ (Frankenlift, sliders, etc.) but currently it is basically stock - 2007 Sport 6 spd. There's a trail I want to try in northern Mexico - 1200 ft to 3700 ft. in elevation in 3 miles, Rancho de Cielo Biosphere. Steep, a lot of broken limestone rock, low range...- paullgj
