ouch…but TBH i agree, the 2.5" kits are nice, still somewhat affordable and with a few extra steps you can get 4" out of them no problem…and by the time all is said and done, you’ll spend way more money getting a jk thats bone stock than buying a liberty and dumping money into it to lift it and do a bunch of other shit (bumpers, winch, tires, re-gear, good skidplates, etc…) when i got my liberty it was perfect for what i needed and then i got bored and decided to dump money in. not to mention it looks way better lifted with a 31" tire under it…but if i could do it over it would still be bone stock.
- rep for not hating on the liberty, you probably remember when i did the lift a few years ago i brought it to you at the niskayuna mavis for tires and an alignment.
BTW Pitman: down is better for a daily. It’s science - A vehicle that has more non-aerodynamic components exposed will get worse economy and be less efficient. Also, properly designed/placed aero components can increase economy and driveability… even in a daily that never sees over 75 mph.
That being said… I think I’m going to lift the Volvo. I’m a big fan of do what you want to what you have. It’s your vehicle and if you have the funds/desire to do something fun - Do it!
