    Want to buy a New Liberty.......what are your thoughts?

    There are plenty of smaller lifts (2.5" and below) on the market right now. A couple companies are developing 4.5" (Superlift) and 7" (RockKrawler) lifts for the KJ. I can't compare it to other Jeeps, but it does pretty good offroad. That's my KJ on Laurel Mountain...Rusty's 2.5" coil...

    Liberty...

    It depends on the type of 4-wheelin you want to do. I've owned both an 98 XJ and an 02 KJ, but I never took the XJ offroad so I can't compare the two. The KJ was not intended to be a hardcore rock crawler. However, there are plenty of mods available to make it a capable trail rig. Superlift...
