It's Time...

[TruLiberty]

To start saving and planning my lift. My fronts are squeaky. I don't like it, so i am about 25% of the way saved up for my lift...will prolly have enough by march or april to finish purchasing and install. Reason I post this here is because even tho I've read everything here for the last 2 years...I'm always confused. I want to do a full Frankenlift with the addition of the WesWay (Boiler's shims, extra ISO's and some clevis.). I'm rocking 245/70/r16's now. So I'm ready for it to look awesome, but I might get some spacers too. What is the best way to do the purchase, just straight full buy from Boulderbars.com or should i buy part by part, in that case I don't really know what I need to get entirely. Little help or direction gang? thanks. Long time no talk!

(also with this round of saving and spending, ill be getting a hidden hitch with a D-ring

The front pre-assembled is nice if you are going to do it yourself. Makes it easier but you are then limited to the OME shocks.
I went with the Bilstien shocks all the way aroundBE5-D916-H0 (FRONT RIGHT&LEFT)http://www.allshocks.com/bilstein/html/show_shocks.asp?make='JEEP'&model='Liberty%20(KJ)'&year='2002, Rear Lifted shocks:F4-BE5-A702-HOhttp://www.allshocks.com/bilstein/html/show_shocks.asp?make='DODGE'&model='Dakota%20Quad%20Cab%204WD'&year='2001

Going with the Tera-flex front stops,http://jeepinbyal.com/prod-TeraFlex_Bump_Stop-653.aspx OME 927 -948 springs.
Just ordered Boilers 3/8 shims for the stock top base plate.
have the clevis 2" conduits ready.

Having the JBA-Arms would be beneficial right from the start as well.
I am shooting to keep the front level with the Boiler shims, but extra clevis may put you over 23 inches, (center hub to flare) where cutting the CV shafts will be necessary.
Just trying to throw out some extra ideas for you.

You can not do a Frankenlift and a wesway or whatever its called as well:Bye:Jeez and you say you have read through everything?
If you don't want to drive it then you can of course , do like mentioned above and be done

Too many pages to read, i thought you could do the wesway?!? boo. ill just do OME's then. Are the bilsteins cheaper?

Jeepin by Al has the 2.5" lift rear bilsteins - http://jeepinbyal.com/prod-BILSTEIN___Heavy_Duty_2_5__Lift_Rear-677.aspx

but doesn't list a lift on any of the front shocks they sell for bilstein hrmmm..

 

[TruLiberty]

OME is 1.5" http://jeepinbyal.com/prod-OME_1_50__lift_kit-634.aspx

thats OME927's, NS131s for front, OME 948's and NS132 in back.

 

[TruLiberty]

If i do it part by part...it's def cheaper...do i need top plates or can I use my stock ones...i think i can use the stocks....i need to reread all the posts here lol.

 

[TruLiberty]

Bilsteins are muuuch cheaper than OME front struts... i'll prolly do that.

 

[TruLiberty]

So ya'll are telling me i cannot do boiler's front shims and extra iso's in the back alongside and OME/Bilstein lift?

Read please what I wrote
You can not do or add with a Frankenlift when newly installed, which was what was asked
you can add a top plate and clevis lift if using just OME springs
plus if using 927s you will have more than the advertised height, the listed amount is for insurance purposes only, don't go by them go by those that have lifted before you.
Either that or just send me 850-900 bucks and your KJ plus tell me the height you want up to 23.25-23.5 inches and I'll give it back when done :icon_twisted: (in a day)

 

[TruLiberty]

OME springs all around 927's and 948s- 316
Bilstein struts - 180 (OME's are 300 for struts)
Shocks(OME or Bilstein) - 140-180
Daystar Bumps - 40
Shims - 40
Extra ISOs - 50

So total, $766-806. Not bad. not bad.

Here is a thread from when I lifted mine, I think it would be helpful:
http://www.jeepkj.com/forum/showthread.php?t=44746&highlight=Jeepin05

It has quite a bit of the info you're looking for. This is the OME/Rancho lift, including Boiler's shims and Terraflex Bumpstops.

Hockey pucks 4 bucks and a dollar for bolts and nuts to hold them on
