knowing that their product tends to be rough is a good heads-up, as my wife would not tolerate a rough ride. i wonder how much of that reputation is deserved, though. most people who lift their vehicle tend to not care about road manners so much as how much more they will be able to tackle off the road (in my experience, limited as it is). i have seen advertisements for liberty-only trail rides, and i heard quite a while back that kenne bell was supposed to have a supercharger kit for the liberty, but i have not heard anything recently.
If you haven't already poked around JeepForum, see here: http://www.jeepforum.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=28

That's the entire section on the Liberty, with a FAQ at the top.

I don't know any details about lifts for them, but I see in the FAQ that OME (Old Man Emu) offers a lift, and in the Cherokee world OME lifts are considered to offer the best on-road ride and handling.
