Default anyone put a lift on a liberty?

My g/f is buying a liberty today and I told her at least it's a jeep but were lifting it. Saw a couple of options out there but didnt know what one to go with.

KjForum is a great place. My gf has an '04 Liberty Renegade, and she loves it.

There's a couple out there, but apparently it's extremely expensive to do it right.

I've been thinking of the cheap way, and it will put me over $500.

Good reviews on the Frankenlift though.

Teraflex sells one. I believe it's a puck lift.

My wife has a Liberty, it's a very nice Jeep. That new Pentastar is POWERFULL. Love it... but I still love my JK more, lol.

To my knowledge the Liberty has the 3.7 V6 not the "new" 3.6 pentastar. The 3.7 makes 210 hp and 235 lbft of torque...so slightly more hp and about the same torque as the 3.8 in the "older" JKs.

ARB/Old Man Emu makes a lift for the KJ. Performs nicely offroad.

Sent from some string and a few tin cans.

Rock krawler makes a great lift for the liberty. I had a 2011 before I bought my JKU. install is pretty simple. Bought a set of OME shocks for the back. JCR off road also makes rock sliders. Great company.

What size tires can you run with that lift? Also will I need spaceres?

I saw a very nice lifted expedition-style old school liberty in South America a few years back. The thing was sweet.
