Lifted my Liberty
Got my lift on today.
Right now I have a used set of 235/85/16 retreads on there. I have my eye on the 265/75/16 KM2's but they are not being produced yet. once they are on the market they are going on. I already have my order placed at work.
As for the install it was really simple. It took me right around 2hours from start to finish using basic hand tools and no air.
I had to custom make brake line relocators becuase I bought the lift used from an 02. However the mod was simple, and I'll get pics in the daylight of it.
For now here are some night time shots.

Sorry, I have to say it... Nice Libby (or Euro Cherokee)... I like the rocker sliders, they damn near look like they were there from the factory... Nice!

Yes I've had it all over the east coast. It has been my primary offroad vehicle for about a year in all stock form.
Other than the low ground clearance it does as well as any stock 4x4 can do. The traction control helps out nicely.
My only plans now are to build my cherokee and leave this thing alone for awhile.
It will eventualy get ARB's, skid plates and bumpers, thats about all you cna do to one without going solid front

I'll have to try and get pics, but here in Michigan near me we have one rolling on 31" AT's and another on 33's(Swamper TSL's) that looks sweet. And both still have the IFS on them no solid swap..

As you can tell from this video I had some issues with my plastic rocker covers becuase I bent my rock sliders a little. ( ATTN VIDEO HAS BAD LANGUAGE!!!! this was a few months back)
Well today I pulled the rock sliders, scuffed up the rockers, popped some "little black plugs" in the holes and covered the rockers in chip guard. Gonan reinstall the sliders after i straighten them out and the chip guard dries longer
