My rocky road lift experience

tommudd said:

Main thing is to not confuse newbies who stumble on this site and want a lift, suddenly they see OME, ARB etc and think there are many brands
It has happened in the past

correct "strut" shock/strut potato patato i know i called it the wrong part name. Its like how many people say "clevis" so it rhymes with beavis? or cla veece like its french, or klev-is - tom please clear that one up once and for all who's right on that...
Not recommending OP to use 100k OEM worn shocks but wanted to know what shocks he was currently using and then, maybe if they were of a quality aftermarket brand, pair that with a decent set of springs,, given again there isnt a crap ton of miles on them.
I got box here from ARB that my Old Man Emu springs just arrived in, again, googling either brings you to the same point - it was just what was on the tip of my brain at the moment. Again, Tom you are correct , as inside the ARB box is the Old Man Emu branded box containing the springs...

I mentioned here before that in 2017 I installed OME shocks paired with 927s using 1/4" clevis spacer and 1/4" top plate spacer and currently 2019 shes sitting with a rake.
My 2003 i installed everything the same in 2018 but used bilstein and that one is sitting higher in the front and needed an extra isolator for the rear spring to level it out.

Currently Im in a similar spot as OP with the front sagging but unsure of what brand his components are.
I got another set of 927's here but its a bad idea to re use my OME shocks from 2017? if thats the case Tom I also have an extra set of brand new Bilsteins sitting here as well.....

Would you be willing to sell your 927s? Possibly the shocks also?

Hey ***Tommudd*** I know this is an old thread, but the wifey got a 2010 Jeep Liberty and next year I'm planning on a lift and new tires and maybe wheels. Ive read ALLOT of threads on this and you seem to be the resident expert. I was looking at the Rockfather Deluxe Kit now bc their CS has improved drastically over the last year, but I remember you telling someone else they could do better. So would you mind sharing what parts you would get and from where to do a 3" lift, and what tires and wheels you would recommend? Thanks in advance.

Tom's preferred list is on here many times over, and may even be a sticky post somewhere. He has not been active for some time now. Moved on to other projects, i suppose.

I don't know anything about lifts. just did not want you hanging thinking you were not being seen/heard. Good luck on the hunt. BTW - the forum search leaves a lot to be desired. Best to Google site:jeepkj.com lift kits kk - and see what pops up.
