Lift Kit?

[Adrien765]

What do you guys think about these lift kits?

If know one has anything good to say about these, what is a good lift kit and where can I get it?

Just make sure to stay away from the "Rocky Road 2.5" budget lift system "

Rusty's spacer/budget lift is the same. However, Rusty's Spring kit is an excellent lift

Rusty's , RRO, and Terflex spacer lifts are all OTT lifts and cause problems with the ball joints and struts.

It's know for its problems. Read here

Adrien765,
what are your plans for your Libby, are you going to do a lot of off - roading, or is the lift going to be just for looks? What year is it, is it gas or a CRD, how much mileage does it have on it, will determine what your lift options are, and how much you can expect to pay, ranging from $250.00 to nearly $1000.00.

Give us some details and we can point you in a direction to suite your needs and your budget, rather than trying to answer all of these what do you think questions. ](*,)

So what do you think???

the lift jit will be mainly for looks but will be used for mild off-roading. I live in Alaska and will be using it for a daily driver as well as a vehicle to get me to those fishing spots in the middle of no where. It is gas and has 50k miles(highway)

I'd personally recommend Rusty's Spring Lift. Best lift for the dollars. Includes all new springs (no spacers) and new Old Man Emu Struts, plus rear shocks.

Ditto on the Rusty's, I might add however, that the rear shocks for the kit are less than desireable and most people order the kit minus the rear shocks and use Rancho RSX 17004's which have a better fit and ride for the application. If Rusty's still offers the 3 different spring rates on the coils, I'd reccomend the medium rated coil.

Give rusty's a call and see what your options are.

Ok guys I made up my mind. Here is what I am going with

Does anyone know what the max size tire and wheel that can fit on the liberty without rubbing with this lift kit installed?

No more questions, I PROMISE.

245/75R16 is what most people run and are happy with. It will rub a little but nothing just a little trimming or heat gun can't fix.

You can also pull off 265/70R16 but this will require you to do some slight modification for the fog light doors and the pinch weld. I have a BDS lift kit that nets just under the Rusty's. After setting myself up with 265/70R16 and wheels with a 5" Back Space I had to slightly push my fog light doors toward the front of the vehicle (heat gun) and use a 3lb sledge to flatten the pinch weld.

Remember to post pics when you get everything setup!! It's going to look sweet!
