OK guys after loosening the UCAs this morning and jumping up and down on it for two hours, then taking it for the alignment the measurements come out as 22" in the front and 22.25 in the rear. which puts me right at four inches with my starting measurements being 18 front, and 18.25 rear...
Sorry I have been slow to answer, I am reading all your responses and taking all of it in. I am going to loosen the UCAs and retorque them since I can't remember if the full weight of the vehicle was on the tires. I know I had weight on the tires when I torqued them but can't remember if the...
It goes for alignment tomorrow and I will recheck all of the torques after that is complete.
I was also scratching my head about the height but from looking at my cv shafts and the angle they are sitting I can see the need to go with the shortened shafts real soon. Although I am going to...
First of all I wanna thank the various folks on here who have given me valuable info about lifting my KJ. I would also like to give a huge shout out to Marlin at Jeepin By Al for the awesome service.
Ok now down to the nitty gritty! after four days of working on it I have completed(damn...
Grab your drive shaft and see if it has any play, if you are getting clunks when you switch from forward to reverse, you may have a bad U-joint.
I am not sure about Liberties but my F-150 had a bad Ujoint and made a similar sound, which I didn't know was my driveshaft at the time and had it...
No rhyme or reason to my decision, it was something I would have on hand, and I was throwing out there to see if anyone has done it or had any good/bad experiences.
The 3.5 front Kit comes with the UCAs, so the only thing I would be lacking in what you described would be one more set of upper ISOs. My goal is to be as close to level as possible without getting a lean to the rear.
Thanks for the input, it will save me a ton of heartburn in the run if I...
OK, so far I have purchased OME 948s for the rear with upper and lower ISOs, and Bilstien shocks.
I am currently looking at buying the Tommud 3.5" front suspension with .50 clevis spacers.
My question is(I know every vehicle is different) will this give me a close to level ride?
I know the...
Ok so after much thought and reading I have finally decided to go with coating my rims with Chassis Saver #934 Silver-Aluminum
This seems to be the most durable option, plus I will be buying a can of it to cover some of the undercarriage that has rust..
Thoughts?
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...
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...
I would like to add these to my KJ since I use it for towing all the time. Can you give us a small where and how to cut the mounts to make them fit?
Thanks
Thanks for all the replies folks. Tom I will most likely be ordering this first thing next year. I live in the Snow belt and will be doing this in my driveway so doing the work in the winter months is out of the question.
Ok so here is the deal. I have a 2005 Liberty and the stock suspension is horrible. My question is; does the Tommud econo-lift 3.5 improve the ride comfort of the liberty? After a few months of research this Tom seems to be the SME when it comes to Liberty lifts, and the 3.5 is the lift I am...
