Cheap lift vs cheap tires!

[GenericWhiteGuy]

Hello everyone! After silently stalking the forums from the shadows I finally decided to hop on the bandwagon and register. Well that and I need your opinions. As of the moment I have a stock 07 liberty sport, and am looking to do an OME lift. Except, inspections coming in a few months and I won't be able to afford new tires and lift till after the inspection just one or the other. And as of right now my tires won't pass.

so, do I get a Daystar lift with 245/75r16s and pass inspection with them
Or
But used tires and buy the wheels and lift kit all at once?

I suppose the question really is as will I run into problems if I ran the Daystar set up for a few months? :help:

It'd be a complete waste of time to put a Daystar lift on
You'd be paying $200-$300 for that junk, take time to put it on just to run bigger tires for your inspection
If I were in your exact predicament, I'd get some very cheap used tires just to pass and then get the OME lift, tires and wheels all together
You'll be much happier with the outcome
In any scenario I would not install the Daystar, and if you don't have a lift you can't put on that large of tire unless you only have to drive straight with no turns and not hit any bumps :gr_grin:
SO- used, cheap tires and then after inspection get all of the quality parts

I've said this numerous times and everyone has heard it before..
You get what you pay for and you don't want to be cheap when it comes to your suspension or tires
What you choose for those will determine whether or not you're driving down the road or on the side of it
Don't waste your time with that POS lift, wait to get the OME and be done

Listen to jeeplib on this, youd be much better off getting a quality lift and running used or off brand tires, theres plenty of off brand mud tires that will be deadly offroad if you're ok with bad on road performance

Buy once cry once

Find a buddy with a Liberty and "borrow" his tires for an hour when you take it in to get inspected. Offer to rotate them for him when you swap them back out. Stick it to the man! (The inspection agency, not your Jeep buddy.)

PLUS something else no one else has mentioned is the sag you more than likely already have. If like most you are sagged at least an inch, SOOOOOOOOOOO when doing a 2.5 inch spacer lift you will only be getting 1.5 over stock height . At that 245-75-16s would be very close to rubbing, or possibly even rubbing bad
Just man up and get a full spring lift
