everyone - thanks alot for the input so far. keep it comin!

ERIC - thanks man! exactly what im lookin for.

however it was my understanding that the jeep liberty RENEGADE a slightly different suspension and 1" higher clearance? i could be wrong but thats what i was told. i also heard it was better set up for offroading.

if it makes a difference, i would ideally be putting on a 2.5 - 3" inch lift and tires (maybe exhuast too.. VRRROOOOOOM!!)
