Lift pics and spec thread

[tommudd]

I have 03 renagade thinking of getting the rustys 2.5 lift kit is it good kit

So you want a junk lift?
If so you are on the right path

Thinking of buying myself the OME 2" lift as well as BF Goodgich KO2's in 245/70r17. I would also like to upgrade the wheels but am having a hard time finding what I want in a 7" wide wheel. My question is does anybody run anything wider than stock, a lot of company's only go down to a 8" wide wheel so I was going to try those but wondering if I could and if I'd have to do anything different to do so

 

[HoosierJeeper]

My Moabs are 8" wide but 16".

What is the outside diameter of your tire?

In order to help those pondering a lift, it would seem beneficial to have a thread showing what the numbers (height and such) look like in real life.

Please post a few pics, specs (what type/coil/shocks/part numbers/extras like isos, spacers, etc/tires)

So I'll head it off.

KJ: 05 LTD 3.7 4x4 in Light Khaki
Lift: Front: OME 926 with Bilstein part #F4-BE5-6458-H7
Rear: OME 948 with Bilstein part # F4-BE5-A702--H0
Hub to fender measurement: 21.5"
No extras

Tires: 245/70/17 Nitto Terra Grapplers No rubbing

2012 Jeep Libert Jet Lift Q&A

I recently purchased my 2012 Jeep Liberty because my wife owned a 2010 and I just loved the style of the Jeep. Anyway; after a few quick exterior changes I now want to soon lift the Jeep and put new wheels and tires on her - but have no idea where to start. I am very new to all of this and was hoping for some solid advice.

What kind of lift, height, and specs should I look to achieve and what wheel sizes would fit?

Any help would be welcome.

Thanks!

Very happy with how it turned out. Height, ride and looks. I was a little worried that it might have that ‘lifted wander’ while driving down the road, but there is none of that. Rides and corners great too. Very little body roll. A lot less than stock.
This forum has been a great information resource with a ton of knowledge by members.
