Our KJ saw a really sexy '02 Libby with a hot looking blond driving it... And ours got excited!
When I got home it got taller by another 1.5 inches!



Oh, maybe that was me!

2006 LIBERTY LIMITED w/ 70,000 miles
All stock
Added recieved hitch

Before lift
18 1/2" on all four corners

Lift: (Added 2 weeks ago)
Front OME 926 (medium) / Rancho RSX struts
Rear OME 948 (medium) / Rancho RSX shock

After lift
21 1/2" on all four corners

Granted, it hasn't completely settled yet, and I probably had lost at least 1" to sag, but a solid 3" lift from before - not bad.

Even with no lift I would definately do it over again just for the vast gain in ride & handeling. Feels like a new car again.

Now for some new tires....

Good day all,

189633.0 Km/117832.48 miles...
Thats 9333 Km/ 5799.257.34 miles later!
With the Frankenlift/clevis lift installed {Including 2 rear ISO's per side in the rear.
These are the stats.
Drivers side front 23.5 inches
Drivers side rear 22.5 inches
Passengers front 23.5 inches
Passengers rear 22.5 inches

Thats 5.5 inches deferents!
After machining 3/8 {0.375 inch = 9.525 millimeter*} off of the inner CV Joints, with NO complaints(Yet) from the inner CV Joints.
The ride is very smooth and ultra firm. I feel like I'm driving a new vehicle!
Instead of hitting an undulation in the road surface or one off road like I did with the Factory suspension, now our KJ just "Trucks" over it without a hick-up or the feel of the front coil springs "Stacking"
This Frankenlift is F cking awesome!

My skids are still on back order for some reason, so that will be later to come!

Cheers
Ry'

*OK, so I machined an add "C" hair or two... I have an extra 4 sets of inner CV Joints to play with!
So If I Ef a pair up... OH WELL!

The only thing that has Jen concerned is the noise of the front coil springs "Breaking in"!
A little bit of groaning never hurt a virgin... 4X4 vehicle one bit!

Cheers
Ry'

So, it's been nine months, nine days and 9979.9 miles since installing the Frankenlift on our Liberty.

The measurements here reflect all the coil spring settling:

Front end: 22.25 inches*
Rear end : 21.25 inches*
*from bottom of front and rear fender flare to hub center of wheel.

I have MINIMAL rubbing only or lock to lock right hand steering.
Other than that, all is excellent!

Cheers
Ry'

You do know you folks are flying in the face of the designers.
I remember reading in that @#$#%^! manual that they chose the original suspension height for aesthetics.
Go figure.

daystar 2.5" on for about 7k miles.
both front 21"

Work was slow today so I did my OME/Rancho with 1 extra iso in rear and boiler plate in front and the rear is slightly higher than the front and the pass side rear is 3/4" higher than the driver side (measured with less than 1/4 tank of gas. I gassed up on my way home so I will measure again and write them down this time)
