    Lift for 2wd.

    Hi, My wife's ride is a 2007 2wd Limited - the front springs are pretty sagged and the ride is very rough. I'd like to replace the stock springs and shocks with an OME medium duty set up. Will the kit designed for the 4wd version work? Any caveats for the 2wd installation? I'm not...

    Need some KJ/Wrangler forums

    Hi! I need some links for some good Wrangler/JK forums as I just purchased a burnt orange metallic new Wrangler 2 dr. this afternoon. I traded in my 6 spd KJ. My wife still has her 2007 KJ auto so I still will participate in the KJ forum. After 50 yrs. of driving stick shift, bone spurs in...

    2007 KJ, which brake lines for OME lift?

    Hi, I've been reading a lot before I lift my 2007 KJ 4wd, and now the question about new brake lines and/or extension has come up. I plan to do OME HD springs/OME shocks. JBA has these brake line extensions and they're not cheap...

    255/70 x 16 on OME lift

    Hi! As indicated in my post in the general section, I'm about to start to work on modifying my 2007 Jeep Liberty 6 spd. The lift will be the OME springs/shocks. For tires I'm thinking 255/70 x 16 Goodyear Wrangler Silent Armors. Any problem with clearance on stock steel wheels? Currently...

    To "build" my KJ or not - at a cross roas

    I'm at a crossroads here - whether to "build" my 2007 KJ into an offroad vehicle, or plunk down some change and buy something new with more ground clearance and skids. Plans for the KJ include OME suspension, UC arms, brake lines, skids, tow hooks, and some off-road tires - maybe we're looking...

    Window regulator blues!

    Hi! The rear window regular on mi wife's lightly used (only 13,000 miles) 2007 KJ Limited suddenly gave up. Of course, the warranty expired three weeks ago. So, what am I looking at - a trip to the dealer and $200? It's not the first one to go, but the others were covered by warranty...

    Extended bumpstops instead of hockey pucks for OME lift?

    Hi, Another lift question. I need to get all the info. before I start. I'm planning on OME lift - 927 springs front, 948 rear, no additional isolators, spacers, etc. Daystar has an extended bumpstop for the rear: http://www.daystarweb.com/productdetail.php?productID=351 Can I use...

    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...

    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?

    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...

    245/75-16/2.5" lift/pinch weld rubbing question?

    Hi, I just read all the tire stickies and still have a question about pinch weld rubbing. I'm about to initiate (probably 3-6 mo. project) major work on my 2007 KJ Sport. First will be a 2.5" Frankenlift. The big question will be what tire size to use? Quite simply, I don't want to smash...

    Satellite radio options.

    Hi! I want to install a satellite radio in my 2007 Liberty Sport. Not a technical question, but I am confused about the differences between Sirius, Sirius XM, and XM. Any meaningful differences in the programming? Probably I'll go with Sirius as its receiver may be the easiest to install...

    Yokohama Geolander ATS vs. Bridgestone Revo or Goodyear

    OK, just got new Liberty 4x4 - everyone agrees the stock 225 Goodyear ST's just don't cut it. I'm going to replace them with 245/70-16 (no rubbing, right?), but which brand? What I've seen here on the forum - the Bridgestone Revo's and Goodyear Wrangler Silent Armour are highly recommended...

    Chevy SWB Silverado 5 spd to Jepp Liberty 6 spd?

    Hi! It took me awhile to find this Liberty website, but alas, I'm here. I've been posting with no response on other sites. Basically, I need some comments on making the transition from a Chevy SWB 5 spd 4 x 4 to a Liberty 6 spd. Some background: I've been driving Chevy 4 x 4 SWB manual...
