Fellow Libby owners,
I am new to the Jeep Liberty world by chance.
My wife and I now have 2 Liberty’s and I am driving the 2003. The suspension is hammered
So I am getting ready to do some work on it. Just please keep in mind this is 2 wheel drive and primarley just a street rig for me.
I am thinking this setup should give me 4” lift and the ability of running

Don't do the Rusty's. Get what I have in my sig, pound the pinch weld, make some room with a heat gun on the fog light door area and u should be fine. Everything I have can be found at the jeepinbyal website.

Putting that list of parts together you're going to end up with an undriveable KJ
It will have about 5 -5.25 inches of lift , even with JBA upper arms, the coils will hit the UCAs , basically you'll have a nice yard ornament
Have to remember that the OME coils give you more than 1.5 inches of lift from the get go. Plus the Rustys spacer, well its junk so :poop:

rear shocks you'll need for a 99-04 Dodge Dakota 4 WD
didn't look to see what you spec'd out
I think if you take your time and do some reading you'll come up with a good game plan , way better than what you have now

also save some money to regear the rear, you're lucky since its only 2 wheel drive:rofl:

This liberty is just a daily driver. Manly to me get back and forth to work, but the roads suck out here in South Texas

I did found a 3.5” lift I am going to ordering next week.
