Lifting 1990 rs liberty

Post by D3V1L » Mon Dec 04, 2006 10:26 pm

pretty well the same keep an eye on the rear wheel and how close it get to the front lip at the bottom of the guard, you may need to extend a few lines with a 3 inc, probly better going 2 inch body a 3" strut tops in a lib a few guys ovr here run that setup and it works well.

when you drop it all the part where the pitching stay bolts to the firewall need to be modded as the intercooler touches when it all goes down and lengthen the pitching stay as normal.

the exaust at the rear will touch the inner cv joint on the diff so either bend it or get another one made.

um thats all i can think of atm maybe byb01 or sudi one can add to it....

cheers

A good lift kit should come with a replacement pitching stay rod.
