This change was made to improveroadhandlingandperceivedsafetyconcerns. ManyspeculatethatthisisinresponsetotheAutoweekMagazineSlalomtest inwhichaLibertyrolled. Libertys built prior toApril 2, 2002areconsideredpre-lowered, becausetheyweremadeprevioustothetimewhen DaimlerChrysler lowered the Liberty. Libertys built after April 2, 2002 is consideredlowered, because they have a lower ride height than the pre-lowered. While a spacer liftwill maintain the dierence between lowered and pre-lowered, a spring replacement lift willrender whether the Jeep was lowered or pre-lowered from the factory irrelevant.4.2Lift Kits4.2.1OTTOTT stands for Over the Top which means instead of placing the spacer underneath thecoil/strut assembly it is placed on top of the assembly.There are three OTT lifts on the aftermarket for the Jeep Liberty:Rockys62-1/8 Combo LiftRockys72.5 Budget LiftRustys82.5 Spacer LiftWhile no spacer lift will give you a superior ride over a full coil lift, each of the spacer liftslisted above has its own pros and cons.

It works by binding the two side gears of the dierential againstthe carrier when a set speed dierence is reached between the two gears. Essentially, if onewheel starts spinning faster than the other by a substantial amount the clutches will step inand prevent any further spin. Unfortunately, the clutches in limited slips arent especiallystrong and are overcome if the slip becomes too great. For this reason, many people opt fora locker instead because it provides 100% lock up.Posi is a slang term for the limited slip dierential. Named after GM Posi-Traction unit,which was built by Eaton.5.49Front Dana 30a/Detroit TrueTrac/935.50Rear Chrysler 8.25/Trac-Loc LSD/94/Auburn High Performance/95/Detroit TrueTrac/965.51See alsoLimited Slip Dierential9790 http://www.4lo.com/calc/geartable.htm91 http://www.novak-adapt.com/knowledge/gearing.htm92 http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Category%3AJeep%20Liberty93 http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/%2FDetroit%20TrueTrac%2F94 http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/%2FTrac-Loc%20LSD%2F95 http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/%2FAuburn%20High%20Performance%2F96 http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/%2FDetroit%20TrueTrac%2F97 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limited_slip_differential40External Links5.52External LinksEaton (Detriot TrueTrac)98Auburn99Ring Pinion (Auburn and Dura Grip)100Category:Jeep Liberty1015.52.1LockersA locker works by locking the two side gears of the dierential to the carrier.

Theybolt to the pinch seam with 5 bolts and the main legs o the sliders mount with 8 bolts tothe uni-body. Giving you a total of 13 bolts PER SIDE! Some drilling required, but easilyinstalled. These sliders are created by professional fabricators; therefore the welds, tment,and attention to detail are second to none. - See more at: http://www.jcroffroad.com/product/KJ-SL3.html#sthash.F6wqmo7R.dpuf6.2.2All J Products Boulder Bars6.2.3Carolina Rock Shop Rock RailsCarolina Rock Shop makes rock rails for the Jeep Liberty.

Everyoneispermittedtocopyanddistributeverbatimcopiesofthislicense document, but changing it is not allowed. PreambleThe GNU General Public License is a free, copyleft license for softwareand other kinds of works.The licenses for most software and other practical works are designedtotakeawayyourfreedomtoshareandchangetheworks. Bycon-trast, the GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee yourfreedomtoshareandchangeallversionsofaprogramtomakesureit remains free software for all its users. We, the Free Software Foun-dation, use the GNU General Public License for most of our software;it applies also to any other work released this way by its authors. Youcan apply it to your programs, too.When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not price.Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you havethe freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for themif youwish), thatyoureceivesourcecodeorcangetitif youwantit, thatyoucanchangethesoftwareorusepiecesof itinnewfreeprograms, and that you know you can do these things.Toprotectyourrights, weneedtopreventothersfromdenyingyouthese rights or asking you to surrender the rights. Therefore, you havecertain responsibilities if you distribute copies of the software, or if youmodify it: responsibilities to respect the freedom of others.For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether gratisor for a fee, you must pass on to the recipients the same freedoms thatyoureceived. Youmustmakesurethatthey,too, receiveorcangetthe source code. And you must show them these terms so they knowtheir rights.Developers that use the GNU GPL protect your rights with two steps:(1)assertcopyrightonthesoftware, and(2)oeryouthisLicensegiving you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify it.For the developers and authors protection, the GPL clearly explainsthatthereisnowarrantyforthisfreesoftware. Forbothusersandauthors sake,the GPL requires that modied versions be marked aschanged, so that their problems will not be attributed erroneously toauthors of previous versions.Some devices are designed to deny users access to install or run mod-ied versions of the software inside them,although the manufacturercan do so. This is fundamentally incompatible with the aim of protect-ing users freedom to change the software. The systematic pattern ofsuch abuse occurs in the area of products for individuals to use, whichis precisely where it is most unacceptable. Therefore, we have designedthis version of the GPL to prohibit the practice for those products. Ifsuch problems arise substantially in other domains, we stand ready toextend this provision to those domains in future versions of the GPL,as needed to protect the freedom of users.Finally, everyprogramisthreatenedconstantlybysoftwarepatents.States should not allow patents to restrict development and use of soft-ware on general-purpose computers, but in those that do, we wish toavoid the special danger that patents applied to a free program couldmake it eectively proprietary. To prevent this, the GPL assures thatpatents cannot be used to render the program non-free.The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modi-cation follow. TERMS AND CONDITIONS 0. Denitions.This License refers to version 3 of the GNU General Public License.Copyrightalsomeanscopyright-likelawsthatapplytootherkindsof works, such as semiconductor masks.The Program refers to any copyrightable work licensed under this Li-cense. Each licensee is addressed as you. Licensees and recipientsmay be individuals or organizations.To modify a work means to copy from or adapt all or part of the workin a fashion requiring copyright permission, other than the making ofan exact copy. The resulting work is called a modied version of theearlier work or a work based on the earlier work.Acoveredwork means either theunmodiedProgramor aworkbased on the Program.To propagate a work means to do anything with it that, without per-mission, would make you directly or secondarily liable for infringementunder applicable copyright law, except executing it on a computer ormodifying a private copy. Propagation includes copying,distribution(with or without modication), making available to the public, and insome countries other activities as well.To convey a work means any kind of propagation that enables otherparties to make or receive copies. Mere interaction with a user througha computer network, with no transfer of a copy, is not conveying.AninteractiveuserinterfacedisplaysAppropriateLegal Noticestotheextentthatitincludesaconvenientandprominentlyvisiblefea-ture that (1) displays an appropriate copyright notice, and (2) tells theuser that there is no warranty for the work (except to the extent thatwarrantiesareprovided), thatlicenseesmayconveytheworkunderthisLicense, andhowtoviewacopyof thisLicense. If theinter-facepresentsalistofusercommandsoroptions, suchasamenu, aprominent item in the list meets this criterion. 1. Source Code.The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work formaking modications to it. Object code means any non-source formof a work.AStandardInterface means aninterfacethat either is anocialstandarddenedbyarecognizedstandardsbody, or, inthecaseofinterfaces specied for a particular programming language, one that iswidely used among developers working in that language.The System Libraries of an executable work include anything, otherthanthework asawhole,that(a)isincludedinthenormalformofpackagingaMajorComponent, butwhichisnotpartofthatMajorComponent,and(b)servesonlytoenableuseoftheworkwiththatMajor Component, or to implement a Standard Interface for which animplementation is available to the public in source code form. A Ma-jorComponent,inthiscontext,meansamajoressentialcomponent(kernel, window system, and so on) of the specic operating system (ifany) on which the executable work runs, or a compiler used to producethe work, or an object code interpreter used to run it.The Corresponding Source for a work in object code form means allthesourcecodeneededtogenerate, install, and(for anexecutablework)runtheobjectcodeandtomodifythework,includingscriptstocontrol thoseactivities.
