Here's mine - Got her by default but she's growing on me....

[cohippy]

- 2005 Jeep Liberty Renegade, 3.7L V6 -

So the wife got a new car a couple months back and I sold my GLI, so I got this. Wasn't super thrilled at first but as I put work into her I'm liking it more and more. Post your comments and suggestions.

Current mods:
-Installed an EVIC and Auto-Dimming Mirror

-Rancho 17505's w/ SkyJacker HD (non-Soft Ride) Springs (Front)
-Rancho 17004's w/ SkyJacker HD (non-Soft Ride) Springs (Rear)
(This is the lift that tjkj2002 had on Gila Monster)

-Shaved front bumper

Next on the bill:
-Need to put 2 Rear Upper Spring Isolators on each side to get it leveled out, work on that rake...
-either 265/75-15's or 32/10.50-15's
-Front hitch from TBJ (soon)
-Cragar Soft 8's or Cragar 342's - 15x8 w/ 4.75" BSing (Leaning towards the 342's, we'll see)

looks like it could use an alignment.. or that picture is playing tricks on me eyeballz.

nice lookin Jeep!

 

[mag03kj]

What coils did TJKJ2002 use on that lift? I might just go all out since i dont have to worry about cv's!!

 

[JeepINgeek]

what heights do you need to worry about CVs with?

 

[kj924]

Nice lift cohippy, told ya you would be happy with it. Now, just get the alignment done and some new meats and you will be in happy land.


Geekyjeep: Anything over 3.5" and you will start running into CV troubles.

 

[JeepINgeek]

oh LMAO NOT going to happen!

 

[cohippy]

They're Skyjacker non-Softride springs, front and back. They've got a higher spring rate than OME HD springs

 

[mag03kj]

Well did you do a b4 and after? Or what size was the lift? 2.5? 3? 3.5?

 

[cohippy]

I've got the measurments for the before and after, just not with me. I'll get em posted tomorrow though...

Front Left - 18.50"
Front Right - 18.50"

Rear Left - 19.00"
Rear Right - 19.25"

- First Mod's -
Here's the EVIC and the Auto-Dimming Mirror (both an awesome find at a junk-yard!! Came off an 06 KJ Ltd), had just the map lights in there before. Ran the wiring 3 times! Third time's a charm though, right? First 2 to the ODB II then finally to the back left pillar as they do in the factory. It has the sunroof switch on it which I'll eventually wire to a winch, we'll see what the future holds.

 

[ThunderbirdJunkie]

5" of lift in the front!

Lookin good cohippy

 

[cohippy]

I know it ended up to be more than I expected! may have to do the CV's and still need UCA's, we'll see.

Any thoughts or suggestions anyone? Don't want to go too wild and crazy right off the bat.

So Far...
Lift - $300
EVIC - $60
Mirror - They threw it in for free since I got the EVIC and all 6 Speakers from the Limited
Bumper - Just my time (well worth it)

Trying to keep cost down as much as possible...
