Lifting a 2002 Liberty on a budget

[Chevy]

Also put on a set of LT265/75R16 Goodyears that I had lying around. Turned out looking pretty awesome

To answer the original question, no, you can't get a usable, reliable 4" plus lift for a Liberty on a budget. As others pointed out, there are quite a few 2.5" kits around.

after all of these pages I see most don't know crap about lifting Libertys
My 04 has a 4 inch plus lift which I have ran and wheeled for over 130,000 miles, on my second set of springs and shocks
I have done 17 lifts so far on Libertys and can set them anywhere you want them
OME springs are the best and also I can lift you in the 4 inch range for under a 1000 as well

These Liberties are a pain in the butt, lol. I told him I did't think the lift looked that great. If it were mine, like I said, I would have gotten a better kit. For a mild lift, I would get adjustable coilovers up front and new coils in the back. Wheels and tires will come after the lift, nothing is for sure yet. It's his truck, I cant force him to get something he doesnt want to buy

Yes they look like shit don't they, dumb arses anyways

He ended up buying a cheap kit rather than saving for a better. He got a 4wd.com 2" lift. Basically just new coils. I'll be installing it tomorrow

May as well throw it away and leave whats there is he is not replacing the shocks all around etc.
Why is it so hard to listen to some of us who have done a ton of these and know what works and what doesn't.
Just OME coils and new shocks all around would be 650 or so, then you can add extras

walking away shaking my head

Did you regear as well? If not he lost all of his power and mileage, OD will be a thing of the past
Dang it has to be screwed up now

Awesome pics Tom. I especially like the last 2. Where were they taken?

Last three are at The Badlands in Attica Indiana
Not to bad of a place to go play
The one with mine sitting next to the maroon one shows a little difference between a OME spring lift/plus three clevis ring addition on 255-70 tires -vs - my style of lift on 265-75s
Did the lift on the maroon one as well back couple of years ago.
Trying out a new style of rear shocks on mine now, will update soon as to how they do
