Old skyjacker lift fix?

[rustydread777]

So i have a 2002 jeep liberty limited with the.3.7 and 45rfe. It had a skyjacker lift that was installed before my time. My dad owned the jeep before me and someone else 5 years before him. It has a skyjacker lift and sits as follows;
front right 21"
Front left 20.5"
Rear right 21"
Rear left 20.5
So i understand that this 1.5 to 2 inches taller than the stated 2002 factory 19 inches.
The rear shocks are the old rancho socks that are no longer in production but still dampen.
When going over speed pumps or hitting the brakes hard she is taking a nose dive and I can visually see the front left shock is leaking, the front left is done for sure and I'm sure the front right is too follow.
From what I've read is that the skyjacker is initially had good spring rates and held the jeep up well before they changed it, these might be them given the height i listed.
I'm planning on transfer case skid arb front bumper with winch, transmission skid, and i have kk clevis forks to add a tad more lift. I have all those parts in my garage.
Would the struts be worth it to rebuild for $300 for the new socks and some elbow grease.
Or go with DIESAL quick struts clevis forks and a spacer.
Currently sitting on 225 45 16 and will go with 245 75 16 with moabs when I drop in the 4.10 front and rear sitting in my backyard.

To clear up the options: On the Liberty you don't "rebuild" a shock—you just take the assembly out, compress the coils, toss the leaking shocks, and replace them.

If you go with "diesel quick struts" and stack spacers, that heavy ARB bumper and winch will crush those stock-style springs in no time. You'll get massive sag right away.

If you're on a budget, your best cheap option right now is to keep those Skyjacker coils. They are naturally stiff, which actually works in your favor for holding up that front-end weight. Just swap in new shocks (like Bilstein 5100s) inside your current coils. If you need a little extra height after that, you can use those KK clevis forks or add clevis rings to fine-tune it.

Also, don't worry too much about that 1/2" lean right now—that could easily just be an uneven driveway or settled isolators.

If you ever want to do a full upgrade down the road, heavy-duty linear springs designed for bumper weight (like OME 790s) are the ideal fix. But for now, fresh shocks in your current Skyjacker springs will get you rolling safely without wasting money on quick struts.

Thanks for the input. So this happened the other day. Took off a wheel to look at the shock and decided to change the ball joints impulsively. Realized that the clevis fork was all the way up on the driver side and the passenger side was slightly dropped away from shock and causing more lift on the right. Made them even and yielding 21.5 on the front now on both sides.

I found a super lifted liberty at a yard and going to check that out this weekend to see whats under the frame suspension wise.
