Question About Lowering My '02

[VTNomad]

Your Jeep

If I'm not mistaken the Freedom Editions came with 17" wheels. So you may want to check you clearance. The quickest and easiest way to lower a vehicle is to heat up the springs with a heat gun. I did it to my 95 Ranger for a couple of reasons. It was a 4X2 and I wasn't going for the 4X4 look, and I HATE lowriders. Plus it doesn't void you warranty.

Interesting...

I just purchased a used-certified '02 Limited 4x4 2 days ago (!) from a dealer, and the manufacture date on it (after checking per this thread) is 01/02. This definitely means this Liberty is raised higher than other '02 Liberties made after 04/02?

I actually understand the case to have it a bit lower, and have to admit I'm somewhat concerned about the rollover risk--at least when my wife is driving it. It seems you have to be doing something pretty stupid to roll it over but certainly I'd prefer not to take unnecessary risks either when using the Jeep as a daily driver...

No, it was April of O2 -- i found that on the Jeep site. Nice guess then!

This was found on the Jeep website? I'm not finding any useful info there; can you tell me what part of the site this was found? Thanks!

Theres A thread in the FAQ section that explains this in detail. Yours definately stands taller. Mine missed, by one day. #-o
