Ironman lift

[DavidG91]

I have an unlifted original owned 05 Jeep Liberty KJ Renegade 4x4 with about 180k miles. I do take it off road on rocky hilly unmaintained 4wd only trails.

I got the original standard Jeepin By All JBA front upper control arms a number of years ago, and recently new lower ball joints.
It's about time to replace the original shocks/springs so I am planning to get a mild lift.

Frankenlift and JBA lifts have been cancelled years ago and OME is not available anywhere now while I have read a few critical posts about Skyjacker lifts, and at 2.5" they are at the top end of how much I would want to lift anyway.

I am planning on the Ironman 1.5" lift, and the parts that need to be replaced anyway, tie rods and upper ball joints.

Are there other parts that should be replaced at the same time? bushings? upgraded bump stops?

Any feedback on Ironman lifts?

I ran an Ironman kit for about a year and a half, I personally didn't have good luck with it. The kits' rear shocks were the same length as stock and ended up leaking about a year in, rear coils seem fine so far though. Front coils sagged well over an inch, so I ended up tearing it all apart and switching to an OME/ Bilstein set up front and OME n132L's in the rear. You probably won't find an OME kit anymore but you should still be able to piece things together bit by bit.

If your looking for a nice lift at a decent price, consider the above front life OME and Bils you can get off Amazon along with the rear JKU spring ( all you have to do is mod the spring pigtail to fit) and a set of rear dodge Durango shocks. Could get about 2-2.5 lift and you can almost get the JKU springs for nothing.

Go with the Iron Man Lift but purchase the heavy duty front coils (diesel coils) they will not sag. Be mindful though you will get 2.5 inches of lift with their kit not 1.5 as advertised. They are produced in Australia and it has something to do with their laws on lifting their vehicles so for information "law" purposes its sold as 1.5 inches of lift but you will get 2.5 which to me is even better. It will function better and look better for what you need and it cost less then the OME set up. I've had mine on for a while with a front 10K winch and tow brackets to flat tow my jeep plus a lot of gear in the back and no sagging at all.
