Hi guys, I have a jeep liberty renegade 3.6 2004 and I installed 2" wheel spacers. The problem I have now is that I can't turn my wheels completly because they are too big. Do you guys know if a leveling kit of 1.5" is going to be enough or I have to buy a body lift of 2-3". Thanks
It's a 3.7, not 3.6, as was said. Oops. Quick, log off, create a new forum account with a new, corrected screen name before you get too many posts in.
Eek..2 INCH wheel spacers? WTF dude? 2 INCHES?! I mean.. that sounds egregious and obscene.. you like that look? You probably went 50mm out because your tires are so narrow for a typical 4x4 look. Would have been better off putting wider tires on.
Any cheap leveling kit is going to be a waste of money and make more suspension problems for you.
No body lift, because the vehicle is a unibody... not body on frame.
Like Tom said, I'd bet money that your factory springs are sagged and you're sitting lower than it should- they all do. Factory springs were/are too weak for this 4000lb shoebox of a vehicle. They all sit an inch or more lower until replaced. OE-spec replacements are fairly cheap, but they are cheap. And you'll be back where you are within 4-5 years or less.
At this point, I think your best option is to remove the spacers so you can turn your wheels, first off. Then, if the tires are still good, run them. But fix your weak, tired, and old suspension parts first. Then, when the time comes, or because you want to, buy larger tires (of the proper up-size) and pound over (do not cut) the pinch welds for clearance.
If you spend the necessary $900-$1000 on a proper 2.5-3" spring lift, then a whole world of options opens up for you.
Good luck. Can you post some pics of your rig? Would love to see it, especially with +50mm spacers on the wheels.
