Best tires,wheels and lift kits

Im new to this forum thing but im looking to lift my 05 jeep liberty sport and ive heard that OME lifts are really good but im also looking to get bigger wheels and tires. With and OME lift whats the biggest size tire i coulld put on my jeep WITH the lift?

 

[new jeep owner]

did some searching , found this post by another member.

lot's of knowledge on here, just gotta take the time to search and read
by the way, you said you were new. welcome aboard



With a 2.5" lift you can fit 245-75-16" tires.
265-75-16's will fit with 4+ inches of lift.

explained many times
but with OME lift and a couple of additions you can fit 245-75s real easy
265-75-16s requires more lift, regearing etc
So OME 927s front 948 rears OME shocks teraflex front bumpstops , hockey pucks rear bumpstops 245-75 on stock wheels good to go
ALSO JBA has the Ironman lift now with free shipping
Ironman kit with clevis lift in front and again 245-75-16s
Ironman lift rides real well

So would you recommend the frankenlift 2 or the ironman now? Looks like you have to get each part separately on JeepinBA for a total amount of about $640?

 

[tommudd]

Two different ways of lifting if looking at the Ironman and the Franky

 

[WickedBruce]

How so? Aren't they both Coil lifts?

 

[tommudd]

Yes but Frankenlift comes with everything preassembled with special spacers etc
OME/ Ironman comes unassembled
so different ways to lift

 

[WickedBruce]

Oh okay. So if i were to get the Ironman, I'd also have to get clevis and top plate as well?

 

[tommudd]

The clevis is just moving the shock higher in the clevis by 3/8 of an inch
and the top plate you don't have to install but it does give you 1/2 inch more lift if you so desire
So 927s in front , clevis lift and top plate will put the front at 22.50-22.75 middle of the wheel to bottom of the flare
without the clevis and top plate you will be 1.25 inches lower at 21.25-21.50
With the Iron man and a top plate you can be at 21.75
now on to the rear.....................
I think all of this is on the forum somewhere :shrug:LOL

 

[WickedBruce]

Yea I realize it's all in here...I'm just pretty new to this and I like to have a direct up-to-date answer, haha.

I see what you mean now about the clevis. Doesnt that ever slip?

Well it looks like my best bet is just to save up and get the franky then. And if i read it right, i wont need rear iso to lvl it out, because the rear is already higher?

 

[tommudd]

with the frankenlift you should also install two upper isolators as well in the rear to level it out

 

[WickedBruce]

How much would you charge as a mechanic to install everything?

 

[tommudd]

hard to say, depends on what shop rates are in your area and how much time they think it would take
If getting the Franky is a fairly quick job to do, BUT if they have never done one they may drag it out some
Here we knock them out in 3 hours or so, Frankys a little quicker

 

[TwoBobsKJ]

Most get 2" conduit nuts from Home Depot or someplace like that & put them on the bottom of the shock - more to get accurate spacing than anything else. If the clevis bolt is torqued to spec it won't slip - but conduit nuts give you peace of mind.

I didn't find this question

I just order the following configuration for the rear suspension:

OME 948 springs
OME N132 shocks
Lower and upper coils springs isolator for each side

Can I use both isolator (lower & upper) with this shock or I should have requested the N132L long shock?

Thanks

Should of ordered the 132Ls for the rear, 132s are stock length and will top out
Also should of bought 4 upper isos for the rear, 2 extra on each side if adding clevis etc to the front, since you don't mention the front hard to say what you will need.
Also bumpstops??
