hey guys

got my liberty 2006 lifted last week - jba 3.5 econolift - this is my liberty after the lift

however-the front dropped. about 0.5 inches- which is natural-but now the back is taller. i went for a 0.375 clevis. and i guess i should have gone for a 0.5 inch clevis.

I have 2 options- another top plate spacer (maybe use the jba as a template and fabricate a thicker one) or a larger clevis. which is better????

First you do not want to use more than the.375 clevis and second you CAN NOT install two spacer plates on top, not enough threads on the bolts.
The .500 spacer was for the Ironman springs and shocks not OME
Run it for a while the back will settle a little bit, front settles more faster since that is where all of the weight is. 2 weeks is not enough to really get everything settled in where it wants to be.
Looks great the way it sits now really, tires a little big ( not much turning room ) but otherwise good

Plus another thing, anything above 3.5 inches in front you will have spring / upper control arm contact on bumps.

Mine is still like that and I've never bothered to adjust it. I've thought about taking out one of the upper isolators in the rear since that's so much easier than doing anything in front. Plus I won't have to get an alignment.

But the back-to-front rake is kinda catchy. Looks a little bit like a Pro Stock drag car :happy175::happy175::happy175:
