2 inch lift for liberty crd

[NewEra69]

Hi everyone I'm really interested in lifting my liberty. I have a 2005 Liberty CRD and I want a 2 inch lift. I'm hoping you guys could tell me where I could find the cheapest lift and I was also hoping you guys could tell me how hard it is to install and if you could give me some pointers on how to install it properly.

Thanks a lot everyone!

Lots of write ups on the install
You're looking at 750 in parts or so ( check jeepinbyal )
best bet is the OME 790 front springs and 948 rears with OME shocks
That setup seems to work the best on a CRD

Check All J's for the CRD-specific 'Frankenlift', JBA is dicey.

Why is JBA dicey? I'm not a fanboy, just the uninformed.

JL doesn't like them,
so if he doesn't like them no one else should either.
There are only two companies that sell suspension products who give great service, have great customer service and actually know what they are selling and thats AllJs and jeepinbyal.

The main advantage of a Frankenlift is that the front coil spring/shocks are pre assembled and ease in the installation of the front suspension components.
That and you get all the bits and pieces including rear bump stops in their kit.

on rustys offroad i can get a 2.5 lift kit, performance shocks n stabilizers for 314 plus 25 in shipping. is that any good or am i getting a crappy quality lift?

Save your money and buy Old Man Emu.
The best.
You will be very happy you did!

I just looked into this myself and would like to ask how hard is the OME lift kit to install? My level of mechanic would be close to "professional" I would say but still curious how big a job it is. Im finishing up a cab off engine swap on my 2003 F350 6.0 PSD so I think I can do a lift.

Spacer style lift and bad design
Even Rustys full spring kit is not good since springs are rated same as stock and rear shocks are junk

Lift is pretty easy to do.
With hand tools its a 2 hour job or so
