Adding to a skyjacker 2.5 lift

[WADE.JOHNSON]

I just got an 04 jeep liberty i have a skyjacker 2.5 inch lift on it right now and i want to get another 2 inches of lift on it is there anything i can do without just putting a whole new lift on it?...its an 04 jeep liberty renegade with the big roof rack and 4 hella lights

First where do you sit at now? Measure from middle of the wheel to bottom of the flare
Unless it was a very early model Skyjacker lift it has the same spring rate as stock and they sag a lot
Next, if you are indeed at 2.5 inches of lift then you really can't add another 2 inches to it
What you need to do is do a complete lift at the height you want along with new UCAs from jeepinbyal
Anything over 4 inches you're going to have spring contact even with JBA UCAS

I dont want to go over 4 inches i just want to get it near 4 inches even if i can add another inch to inch and half to front and rear i would be happy

It easily sits 2.5 inches higher that factory it looks nice

 

[WADE.JOHNSON]

What im hearing is i will need whole new springs front and rear and upper control arms to get it to 3.5-4 inches from where im at now

 

[WADE.JOHNSON]

Is it possible to add a front and rear spacer lift to the skyjacker lift kit ?..i have seen a 1.5 inch spacer lift that seems like it could possibly be an option.. Or how about upper control arms and a spacer?........ I also notice the lifts skyjacker is selling now comes with black coils and mine are red i dont know if that means maybe its the older model?...probably no way to tell.

Measuring the way I said is the only way to know for sure

You can if you want a bad ride and who knows where you'll end up sitting at
i have seen a 1.5 inch spacer lift that seems like it could possibly be an option.. Not really
Or how about upper control arms and a spacer?........ upper control arms do not give you height, only springs
I also notice the lifts skyjacker is selling now comes with black coils and mine are red i dont know if that means maybe its the older model?...probably no way to tell.

So measure to see where you are, you can always add a top plate for 1/2 inch more height ( 1/4 inch top plate)
you can also add a clevis lift of 3/8 of an inch to give you 3/4 more height.
In the rear you can add upper isolators to gain more height ( up to one inch)

I measured today it sits 21.25 - 21.00 from center to fender

1/4 inch top plate from JeepinByAl
clevis lift is simple just raise the front "shock" up 3/8 of an inch from where it sits stock
rear add 2 per side upper isolators ( total of 4 ) again simply order from JeepinByAl they have both on their website

Thanks alot for the help guys that should make her look perfect, and sounds alot better than a coil spacer.... It really suck there isnt more options for bumpers and adding winches i think these liberty's are very capable off road vehicles...alot more than i expected... She reminds me alot of my old bronco ii

2 inches of lift is what you have

 

[WADE.JOHNSON]
