    First things I look at are suspension upgrades, then tires for your area what you will be suing it for , then skids/ rock rails for body / engine/ trans etc protection Then start using it to see what else maybe needed along the way

    Need new tired for my Jeep Liberty CRD

    Are you talking about wheel spacers to sit the wheel out more? Generally when we lift one ( done over 35 KJs ) we have them go to a 4 inch backspaced wheel 7 inches wide or some use the 1.25 inch spacers to move the wheel out farther
