My Liberty is stock with 125,500 miles, factory size 225/75r16 Uniroyal Laredo’s. Front measurement 18.25” both side, Rear measurement 19.25” on both sides.
That’s pretty amazing that your KK has that many miles and the suspension is not sagged! 18 in front and 19 in rear (+/- 1/4”) is the stock height for the KK.
It’s a KJ,2007 model. It seems to me it may need struts. Hits hard when going over bumps, may just be a Jeep thing. This is my first Jeep product so I know nothing about the ride or set up they’re supposed to have.
No it needs springs and shocks all around Stock suspension is pretty much junk by 65-70,000 miles Never just replace shocks on these always replace both. What happens is if you just replace shocks , then with the weak springs it will wear the shocks out faster. These came with very weak spring rate, only 310 lb, should of been 340-350 with the weight etc and yes we do have coilover shocks in the front if you have struts you do not have upper control arms , we do My suggestion is to goaftermarket if you want stock height OME 925/947 springs , 925s are rated at 350 lb and will provide a much better ride and handling than even new stock ever did Onmy 04 I bought new, I had replaced the stock suspension before it had 20,000 miles on it with OME
Go OME springs with either OME or Bilstein shocks, have installed both and they are pretty much equal as far a performance over all
Gonna play along for the sake of data: Pre-lowered 2002 Liberty Sport 4WD 3.7 with ~150k miles Fronts: 18.75" Rears: 19.25" All stock suspension. Sag-city.
