I don't have any experience with them, but if you read a lil in this site they will tell you to stay away from it. I just started my self but I read and read and ask. An the answer was stay away from spacer kits. I got OME 927s & 948s and Rancho shocks, around $739 with shipping and I'm very pleased. But for a fact I know that they will last 100, 000 miles. I'm sitting 22.5 front 22 back.
Good luck with yours, and listen to the guys here there knowledge is up there.

Well this one is from the same company that sells the OME so I thought maybe it would be ok. Any other thoughts?

Found this on Rocky Road Outfitters website. Anyone have anything to say about it?

Jeep Liberty Lift Kit: Budget Lift for Jeep Liberty, 2002-2009 - Also fits Dodge Nitro 2007-09

First stay away from RRO
BUT if you buy it/ install it also buy several sets of upper control arms, several sets of front shocks etc since you'll be eating through them at a record pace.
There are way better ways to waste your $$$$ trust us
Second there are also way better places to buy KJ/KK lifts
Depending on how much lift you want we can tell you what works the best. I will say though that you're looking at 750-800 just for a good lift to get you 2.5-2.75 inches of lift over new stock height
JeepinByAl or AllJs ( boulderbars) are the best two places to buy from
JBA has lifts starting at the 750 range

Their lifts use front OME springs and shocks, rear uses their own brand unless you pay more for the OME

Thanks for the help guys. I did read through the lift FAQ section first. I thought maybe since that budget one was from same company that sells OME stuff it might be something different. I'm new to this forum, but that's why I always come to forums first.

Thanks again!

My Teraflex lift is similar to RRO's. I also have RRO arms and no complaints.

Using a RRO lift and A-arms is like having unprotected sex with a cheap **********. It won't be the best ride of your life and something bad will probably happen shortly after. But at least you can brag that you got it up.

You gotta understand... KJ's have been around for 12 years now. There have been plenty of folks who have gone the RRO route since the beginning (myself included), and have come to the conclusion that there are much better ways to achieve what you're looking for. Better quality, better ride.

However, I hope yours is working out for you.

Like Jayme stated a lot of us have been around on here and LOST and other sites since back in almost the beginning. Personally I've been around even before there was a JeepinByAl. I remember when Al Handy started mocking up UCAs in his garage, before the current owner bought him out and expanded the lifts and invested tons of $$$ into new products. And yes Al was the very first to make UCAs, it wasn't until years later that RRO came out with their copies and the issues that came along with them.
My first lift consisted parts from AllJs and OK4WD since those were the only two places you could get parts for KJs almost.
Over the years we've came along ways in what is available, and also who stand behind their products. For suspension we have AllJs and JeepinByAl. I know for a fact that if I had an issue 1000 miles from home a phone call to either one would have me parts in a day or two at most. Now those are companies I want to deal with and steer new people to.
So while you may think we are "in bed" with them, we are just sharing what works and who is the best to deal with.
Thank you for your time and now back to watching Lucy reruns :beatdeadhorse5:

And Porkchop ,................
over the years its gotten so deep it came over the boot tops, I just wear sandals or go barefooted anymore, less to clean up:favorites37::favorites37:

Slamming/Advice

A lot of people on this site know what they are talking about when it comes to lifting Liberty's. The simple fact is that some parts are made to higher standards and some are just made to get your buck. I originally put a daystar poly spacer on my Liberty just after getting it now with a lot of research into the Advice available here I am going to Ironman springs and Bilstein shocks. Way better ride instantly Nice lift and everything fits. It's not Slamming if it's the truth.
