its a 3" suspension lift. i am definatly breaking the standerd demographic for the liberty, and i do take it off road more than the average liberty owner. as for tires, i was going to get the tires and rims about a month after i put the lift on, but found out i was getting my hours cut at work.


I was making fun of gator, I don't care about your liberty

yup, been there, except it was a civic, not a liberty...

i get a call from a freind saying her car was in a "ditch"

so i figured i'd grab a couple people i was hanging out with and we'd push her out.

only problem, this thing was like the grand canyon of all ditches....

still got it out by simple traction understanding - spinning tires = no traction.

Andy, your statement has one fatal flaw.... Women don't know what this "traction" you speak of is. Why else would every girlfriend I've ever had (including my fiancee) drive around on tires so bald you could see the steel belts poking through?


Oh, my woman knows what traction is. I gave her a few little courses on it, in sand, mud, snow, rain and dry pavement. All of which lead to me being yelled at for doing something unsafe Did the same thing when I could not explain torque and HP in a form she could understand. Got into our 3/4 ton chev 8.1L and gave her a demonstration... That too lead to me being yelled at... pfft women

Tallen, just get smarter girlfriends Or teach them. Either or

As far as the lift goes, it doesn't look much different, but it needs some nice tires with some grit to them.

As far as Liberties and off roading goes:  For the most part I would agree.  Although we did go on a Jeep Jamboree once, and there was 1 Liberty out of like 100 Jeeps.  It did really well.  It had aftermarket tires and a skid plate, possibly a lift.  It didn't hold the group back like everyone expected at all.

As far as girls and traction sort of things go.  Agreed, I once had to help my friend get her Liberty unstuck out of the snow.  I don't know what her deal was, I got in and punched it.  By the way, are those always in 4x4 or do you have to engage it?  Maybe that was what her problem was.

The renegade is cool. Although all new Jeeps(minus the 2 door wrangler...barely) are womenly.

I hate people who drive off road and/or utility vehicles when they dont need one.

Because it's a liberty.
It just looks funny...and it really doesn't serve any purpose.
Do you take it off-roading?  Maybe if it were a Liberty Renegade it'd
be plausible.  Just not as it is...

Is there a real reason to do it other than wasting money? A 3' lift would be better.

And no tread is obviously better...there is more tire making contact with the snow-covered roads. Everybody knows that!
