Jeep Liberty Long Arm Build
JBA Texas LongArm Jeep Liberty KK
This design has been in my head for many years. When I got a phone call from Nathan he wanted a long arm suspension on his Jeep Liberty KK. After talking with Nathan I started putting my design in Auto-cad Inventor. It started to take shape!!

Rear suspension
The rear is a Dana 44 out of a JK with factory electric locker and 5:13 gears. We built a custom 3 link mount, to do this we had to remove the fuel tank, muffler and exhaust system. The fuel tank is an modified fuel tank from an old Wrangler. We mounted the fuel tank were the spare tire was mounted from factory. 
Front suspension
We started the build by clocking the transfer case to center the front drive shaft. We built a 10" cradle drop to hold the steering box and the Currie diff. The control arms are about 10" longer then the factory a-arms and mounted to the cradle.
Curie Diff, RCV custom axles, ORI struts, Howe Performance power steering box, pump, reservoir and cooler, custom drive shafts, JBA fabricated parts.
All highend offroad quality parts.
The long arm KJ build will run $75,000 to $100,000.
We have everything need to make it happen I just need a customer to write the check.
With all I have going on right now the long arm kit for the KK & KJ is on hold. I sent an email with the instruction for cut down CVs.
It was a one off IFS deam of mine.
Sorry, as of June 1st, 2019 we have discontinued our JBA lift kits, 4xGuard rock armor and drop ship parts.
As our control arms are gaining popularity, and to meet the demand, we need to streamline our product offerings. Our goal is to offer the best control arms in the market place and to have them in stock to ship in one business day. With making these changes I am simplifying our production process and will be able it increase our productivity to meet the demands.
